Living in harmony with purpose and rhythm
Time is the setting in which every choice, habit, and act of stewardship takes place. Wisdom means using the present deliberately for the health of mind, body, and spirit.
Using free will to move toward life and health
Choice is the God-given power to select a direction and act upon it. Although we cannot control every circumstance, we can decide how we will respond.
Placing faith, prayer, and surrender at the center of wellness
Trust in Divine Help recognizes that human strength and understanding have limits. Trust begins by opening the heart and relying upon God’s character and promises.
Practicing self-control and freedom from harmful indulgence
Abstemiousness means avoiding what is harmful and using what is good with wisdom and moderation. Healthy boundaries protect the whole person.
Receiving the breath of life through fresh air and full breathing
Pure, circulating air supports alertness, circulation, rest, and the body’s continual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Supporting every cell through wise hydration
Water helps regulate temperature, transport nutrients, lubricate joints, cushion sensitive tissues, and carry waste out of the body.
Making room for restoration of body, mind, and spirit
Rest is more than sleep. It is freedom from labor and strain, peace of mind and spirit, and the body’s opportunity to restore.
