There are times when you can coast on your confidence in your good health, and times when it’s necessary to treat it like the precious asset it is. For me, that means a more alert mindfulness around three main behaviors:
1) Exercise
2) Nutrition
3) Posture in my chair
Since I spend so much time on a computer, and I love my work, it’s easy for me to get totally lost in the work and forget to sit up straight or take breaks to move the neck muscles around. Result: debilitating headache. Cessation of all work. And what entrepreneur can afford that?
A couple months ago, I had a little bell on my computer that rang every half hour to tell me to get up and dance around. It worked for a while, and then I started to ignore it, and finally I turned it off. But I’m going to start it up again—with a different reminder tune. It’s important to keep trying new things to stimulate and motivate good health.

This is my favorite stress-buster. And right now in northern California there is so much sunshine, you just can’t resist it. If the promise of pure sensual pleasure is not enough to make you don a pair of sneakers and get outside, Inc.com says it’s good for you! To quote their post “Studies show that just 15 minutes or so outside can boost vitamin D levels that improve sleep and reduce daytime stress.”
