\n2. Listen to your body and your heart \u2013 what do you need to be well? (you know, the answer just might be hiding if you haven\u2019t been listening)
\n3. If you know you are not taking care of yourself and something needs to change \u2013 pick one simple change, such as drinking more water or going to bed at the same time everyday.
\n4. Get educated. Learn about your health. Read a book, watch a documentary, surf the web (with a critical eye of course), take a class, consult a wellness practitioner.
