O what I would do with an extra hour

What would you do if you had an extra hour? Would you keep it for yourself or give it away? Would you get caught up on sleep, go to the gym, take a bath, clean your house, volunteer, go to church, read, get caught up on bills, hang out with friends? My friends wishes do come true, tomorrow we get to experience the all elicit “extra hour”.
The truth is whatever you do with that hour can promote health. Wellness is actually not just about nutrition and exercise, it’s so much bigger. Spiritual, mental, emotional, social, financial wellness all plays their role in health and happiness. Stand on one leg and have someone slightly push you, do you fall? Now stand on both legs slightly apart, then push…do you fall now? When you have a solid foundation then it is easier to handle what life passes your way.
If you log onto yahoo or msn, streaming news lines always talk about studies associated with health and weight loss. There is truth that lack of sleep can hurt your ability to shed pounds. Stress associated with the economy can increase your midsection. Stress and lack of sleep are both associated with hormones that promote weight gain. Spirituality and friendships are associated with decreasing those same hormones. The problem is all of it is connected so there is truth in the studies but only if there is true balance.
Take a look at your life and look where your weakest link is. You may be exercising daily and eating healthy, yet your jeans continue to fit snugly. It’s all interconnected so if you are weak in one area you probably are weak in several. So take that extra hour tomorrow and start your journey to health and balance whether it’s sleeping, paying bills, or jogging…it all counts.
