ENJOYMENT AND RENEWAL Simply changing channels is an effective method to refuel emotionally. During the past decade, we have been surprised and dismayed to discover how infrequently most people undertake activities simply because they are enjoyable and emotionally nourishing. One of the most revealing questions that we ask the clients who come through our training is how frequently in their lives they experience a sense of joy or deep satisfaction. The most common answer we get is “rarely.” Think for a moment about your own life. How many hours a week do you devote to activities purely for the pleasure and renewal they provide? What percentage of the time would you describe yourself as feeling deeply relaxed? When was the last time you truly let go and felt fully disconnected?

The Power of Full Engagement

Jim Loehr, Tony Schwartz

Uphill and Downhill WITH AN UPHILL lie, you are going to pull the ball. Go ahead and make allowance for it. Shorten your uphill leg and straighten the other, so that your hips are level. You will naturally play the ball back in your stance, but don’t let your weight shift back with it. On a downhill lie, straighten your downhill leg and flex the uphill leg, again to level the hips. Play the ball back toward your right foot. Sole your club on the ground and the manufacturer will tell you about where it belongs when the face is square. You may hit the ball a little to the right. But do not play for a slice off a downhill lie. If you do, you are in danger of shanking it.

Harvey Penick's Little Red Book

Harvey Penick, Davis Love III (Introduction)

Over the last 40 years, I have witnessed this decline in individual health-care expense through my work with thousands of patients. In fact, 50 percent in 12 months is a poor response, as most people improve health significantly much sooner, with health-care expenses reducing more than 50 percent. In chapter 6, I referred to a study demonstrating that the majority of children tested reversed chronic metabolic disease indicators, such as high levels of cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and insulin, liver dysfunction, and other problems, in just ten days by giving up foods with added sugars. Numerous other studies demonstrate that low-carbohydrate eating can quickly improve many risk factors such as hypertension, high blood cholesterol (total and LDL), high blood triglycerides, high glucose and insulin, and others. Reducing these markers in adults and children means less medication, fewer doctor visits, less frequent disease, and ultimately less money spent. Most health-care dollars go toward treating preventable conditions that were not prevented, despite the cost of prevention being very cheap. Prevention through self-health management would involve individuals making healthier choices. Based on how easily and quickly this can happen, a dramatic turnaround of health care can really happen, and soon.
