  you time,

• Take criticism and blame without resentment,
• Face the world without lies and deceit,
• Conquer tension without medical help,
• Relax without liquor,
• Sleep soundly every night,

Then.

What was the most helpful?

• Balance is constantly changing and needs
  redefining to find its true nature
• How much I miss nature...and that my partner,
  who should provide me with joy does not
  consistently...which I need to figure out what to
  do about.
• Actually writing things down, forcing myself to
  think about my life, and having something to take
  away to remember my goals.

Student Feedback Cont.

• Most helpful was the section on forgiveness plus
  I learned that sometimes watching a sitcom
  actually does contribute to my health!
• The health hints
• Broadened my health goals based on my spiritual
  needs not just physical
• It helped enforce the notion that you can't help
  others if you can't help yourself!
