Re: How do you live well?
Since I am not at stage 4, I hesitate to post here because I know we face different challenges. But I really related to the wanting to do everything to be well and stay well. I felt frantic at times. Trying so hard. Running to every group, every exercise class, every lecture, worrying about soy, blaming myself for still loving desserts, taking yoga and not liking it, trying something else, etc, etc.. I guess I am saying that it was hard work, staying on top of all this good stuff I was supposed to be doing. I forgot to just breathe once in awhile. I am trying to practice moderation and slow the pace.
Keep the faith.
