Continuing our Wellness Journey - Moving
This week our journey focuses on Moving, the 5th of 12 keys to wellness in
the Wellness Inventory. Everything in us is moving. The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate. To be alive is to be moving. Inhibit the movement and you create illness. Stop movement and you are dead. Allow it fully and you realize wellness. Because of this movement, everything is changing from moment to moment. To block movement therefore is to block change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life. View more

Travis, M.D., M.P.H., documents self-programming that heals - based on research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology that verifies that thoughts and emotions directly affect the strength of the immune system.

Healthy Computing - "Trim and Fit" - Erik Peper, PhD
When typing, do you hear the clacking of your finger nails? Do you find yourself straining to use the sides of your fingers when buttoning your blouse or when opening doors? If so, your fingernails may be too long.
Excessively long nails usually increase hand, arm, neck and shoulder tension because long nails encumber simple movements, resulting in awkward wrist and finger angles. View more
Peak Vitality - "The Self-Care Paradox"
According to David Gruder, Ph.D., self-care is far different from self-centeredness. It is also far more than merely good sleep, nutrition and exercise habits. Our bodies are complex machines. We cannot sustain our energy unless we are supporting our spiritual, our psychological, our physical, and our energetic aspects of our whole being. Healthy self-care is a key foundational element in all forms of integrity: self-integrity, relationship integrity, societal integrity and leadership integrity.
Self-Integrity Is About Keeping our:
Energy strong and balanced
Mind calm yet alert
Body capable of supporting us in all areas of our life
Environment nourishing
Life logistics under control
Self-Integrity is unavoidably a daily practice. No amount of rest, passion or acts of service can substitute for it. True Self-Care is simply "enlightened self-interest and service for the higher good."
Learn more wellness techniques like these by purchasing a copy of "Peak Vitality: Raising the Threshold of Abundance in Our Material, Spiritual and Emotional Lives," available now in our online store. And take a FREE INTEGRITY CHECKUP QUIZ and see if negligent self-care robs you of the vital energy you need to accomplish your goals. Psychologist and integrity expert, Dr. David Gruder, PhD., has provided self-integrity education keynotes, training, and consulting for the past 30 years.

Patient Advocacy - "The Failure to Cope" - Jari Holland Buck
Caregivers, by the very nature of their work, tend to be isolated and uncertain about whether they are “doing the right things” for their loved one. Additionally, while adults are provided many models about how “not to do” something, we receive little to no guidance about what “right” looks like! While I was a successful advocate for my husband during his protracted illness and hospitalization, I was an unsuccessful caregiver. What do I mean? I didn’t pay attention to my our health and wellbeing.
