Body Blissmas and a Happy New Rear

How many times do we need to try conventional diets in the hope of losing weight and/or energizing ourselves so we can do the things we love before we realize THEY JUST DON'T WORK...or LAST? 
 
Part of living a creative life is waking up to new possibilities. At the same time, we need to admit we've developed coping mechanisms that sorely need some "resourceful alteration" so we may transform them into unique solutions. Letting go of rationalizations, denial, and avoidance of the truth when it comes to wellness can be easier and more desirable than you think - when the creative process is added.
 
One of the best ways to ensure we don't waste any MORE time and money is to embark upon a path that not only results in a strong body resistent to illness and all the other downfalls of being overweight, but also gives us new tools in other important areas of our lives. Perhaps for you that might be creativity.
 
"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age." --Sophia Loren (I never get tired of that quote!)
 
Sherman Nuland in his book The Art of Aging cites three areas that assist in aging well:
  1. Meaningful connections with others and a feeling of being supported. 
  2. Keeping the body as healthy as possible. 
  3. Being involved in a creative pursuit

 The Body Blissmas Program gives you a solid fountain in ALL THREE of these areas!

It worked for me. I lost the 10 pounds I have been wanting to lose for oh I don't know, about 15 years and I have more energy, and a new self-respect which is vital to my daily creative bliss. Plus, I now look forward to the adventure of wellness every day because it's imaginative and nurturing to my creative bents.
