What things can you resolve to do that will make you a better human being?
I know it would seem obvious that I would just talk about eating and exercise in relationship to the New Year, but I believe it's really about the whole picture in regards to improving one's health and waistline -- not just about eating healthier and exercising more, but how we are living mind, body, and spirit.
It's more critical to figure out what you think is important to you in your life. What do you value? How do you want to spend your time? What is driving you -- stuff, cash, family, quality of life? Where does your health fall on this list?
So, when I ask how you can be a better human being in 2007, sure, I am trying to slip in eating better and moving with greater frequency, but we are just fit shells if we don't address the spirit within us. My body is only a vehicle, but my spirit is the true essence of who I am. If we can connect the dots, I believe that the ways we can be better are unlimited. Not to mention it can make things a lot more fun while we're here.

I think you become a better human being by contributing in some way to the world. It doesn't have to be a big thing, and you don't have to have money or power. It can be little things - helping someone who needs help, working with an organization, offering simple kindnesses and common courtesies without expecting a reward. When you help because it's the right thing to do, you know it whether anyone else does or not, and you've made your corner of the world just a tiny bit better. I think that when you feel good about yourself, all the rest - the eating, and the health, and the waistline, and the spirit - take care of themselves.

Are you serious? To be true to yourself in all aspects, including being a better human being is not practical thinking, not everyone has the money or resources. If the real celebrity asking this question, the best advice I can give you is to read. Plain and simple. Spirituality is what makes you YOU. Mental health is more important than superficiality. I value my mind above everything else and take responsibility for my actions and words. One doesn't CONNECT the dots, if they aren't there and an individual is not open minded enough to acquire self realization. I seriously doubt you will read this but if by chance you do, I sincerely wish you all the best. Apparently and with all due respect, you know nothing about the great mysteries in life.. the great philosophers, gnosticism, alternative mindsets... Try figuring out WHO you are before posting this question in a open forum such as Yahoo. Seems to me like you're looking for self validation, which is what the thumbs up and down is for, which should be abolished. Anyway, I do thank you for your time and patience with this 35 year old. Happy 2007 to you and your family.
Yes you're absolutely right! Its really about the whole picture. But how do we achieve it? Lets be honest! Is it just stuff, cash, family, quality of life, eating and exercises that can make your life better? Well I don't think so. It is obviously something more than that. If we really want to have a good waistline why go through hassle of exercising when that would be a tedious thing for most people to do. Really people likes to laze about and waste time. Why not resort to fasting instead. Perhaps that would help change your life for the better. Fasting teaches you how to control your habits. It teaches you good behaviour. Eg. Refraining from being greedy, its makes you want to share. So you dont just eat on your own but share your food wth others. It teaches that others may not be as fortunate as you and gives you a better understanding of what poverty is and makes you a better human each day. Try it. Here's how to do it. Get up early in the morning say about 6am. Take a good healthy meal which you'd like to eat and do not take in excessively. Drink enough glass of water or milk. Do not smoke, eat and drink until 1pm. If you start to be feel dizzy by then take some light meal. If you feels ok then continue without eating until 4pm and if you can hold on continue until 6pm. Have a meal after 6pm but not excessively as your stomach will not be able to acccept the load. Take something light and healthy later for supper. Do this for the next few days and see the changes it makes to your body and your life. Remember the most valuable thing of all - Disciplining oneself. Do not cheat and you'll find yourselve a winner. Good Luck!
Eat healthy and stay fit. Instead of reaching for a slice of cheesecake go for a orange or bannana. Make up a training schedule to exersise at least 30min a day (the scientificly recomended length). Be happy with life. Acception is the last stage in depression, if you just accept things that would be depressing you can get on with life. Always learn from everything. All people can teach other many things, and you can teach them something also. Spread your ideas and your friends ideas around and let your ideas grow and develop. Even furry little animals can teach you things. From a ant you learn true teamwork, from a lion split up the work, and even from a mouse fight the battles you can stand up against, but run away from what you (100% can not, beyond a shadow of a doubt, and absolute lost cause) can't win (don't fight blindly). As I said there is more, but all can't be listed. Instead of just using this as guidelines for a new year try and use this for a "life long guidelines for life." Good things shouldn't be limited to a year or so you should be a good person through out life.
