21. Play Time

Playing is a great way to overcome stress.  When you really let your hair down and live in the moment all your worries melt away.  We played and laughed a lot as children so why not as often now? Rediscover your inner-child and play.

23. Start Your Bucket List

Dream big. 

“Whether you think you can or not you are probably right.”  Do not be limited in your thinking of what you can achieve.  It is possible but starts with the dream, then comes the motivation, followed by execution.

Great Wall friends

The Great Wall of China Marathon rocked and was once on my bucket list, as was Japan Ironman.  Remember though, it is your bucket so put in there what is dear to you.

Be Positive

25. Be Positive

You need to love yourself to love others.

Bring positivity into your life and say the following sentences to yourself daily: “I am happy.” “I am prosperous.” “I am healthy.”

Surround yourself with good fiends who are also positive and who have similarly healthy habits. Being positive is also a key ingredient to longevity.

Drink More Water (and Lemon or Calamansi Water)

Leave a comment

26. Drink More Water

Water, without it your body and mind cannot function properly. Ensure you start your day right with 2 glasses of water the first thing after you wipe the sleep out of your eyes and then remain hydrated throughout the day. Even try lemon or calamansi water in the morning.

Drinking Over The Holiday Season

With the Christmas cheer flowing try and drink at least one full glass of water between alcoholic drinks so you consume less and keep your mind clear.

Hydrate Your Body for your Brain

If you are eating fresh produce that contain high levels of vitamins and minerals required for a healthy mind then you must drink enough water as this is essential so as to absorb the beneficial nutrients in your food.

27. Allow Yourself a Cheat Day (But Not a Whole Week!)

It is very difficult to always maintain your Primed Lifestyle in the face of all the food and drink temptations over the holiday period. Of course it can be made easier with more planning and knowing exactly why you are trying to feed your mind and body optimally.

There are tactics you can employ to over-come these temptations such as:

(1) Eat a very big and nutritious Primed breakfast such as an Omelette (add malunggay to make it super healthy) or Banana Pancakes;
