For me, keeping peace, balance and clarity in my life is the key. Maintaining it is challenging, though not impossible. Here’s what helps me.

The first step to health for me is honesty. We have to be honest with ourselves about where we are and where we’re not….then we can draw lines and color them in. The beginning stage for me was to set some quiet time aside in the morning to be still. I light a candle, listen to my water fountain, open the windows, and let the morning love come in – whether it’s sunlight or rain. I have a cup of coffee and just get still so I can act on what the spirit voice or anointing tells me to do. This is the beginning of having peace in my life.

I also strive for clarity, realizing that no matter what, it’s always better to know what I’m dealing with than not. For example, in the beginning of my acting career, I would fall apart and go absolutely nuts about not booking an audition. If I didn’t get the job, I’d go to bed with my clothes on!  Chile please, I’d be right under those sheets! But it was clarity that allowed me to start dealing with the rejection and to be alright with it.  Clarity allows me to go one step at a time to get things done. It shows me that whatever I can control, I will and what I can’t, I must let go.  It reminds me that what’s for me, I’ll have, whether I try and get it or not.  It also reminds me that forcing something that’s not meant to be won’t work out anyway, so why bother?

And last, but certainly not least, exercise is major for me. I do Pilates which involves lots of stretching. It’s a way to wake up your body and create vitality. The end result is you get a body that reflects what health and fitness look and feel like.

Lets face it girls, the spirit can’t use you if you’re not healthy because in that case, you need assistance!! And by all means, let’s be healthy together!
