Wellness Made Simple
I simply wanted to write a quick blog post about wellness. I’d been writing lengthy posts lately (as you know) and just wanted to break them up with something short and powerful.
I thumbed through pages of notes of “good ideas” I keep in a folder. I chose one topic after another. I started and stopped ten times. I just couldn’t land on something simple. No matter what I tackled the post grew larger, longer and more complicated. Frustrated, I took a break and headed over to Twitter, vowing I’d make it a short visit.
Keeping that vow was simple. At the top of my Twitter stream was a wonderful Swedish Proverb, shared by “Escape from Cubicle Nation” blog writer Pam Slim (@pamslim on Twitter). Pam received the gift of the proverb from her friend @desireeadaway. When I read it, I knew it held every piece of wellness advice I could ever hope to live by or to share. Thanks, Pam. And now, dear readers, I joyfully pass the proverb on to you:
“Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more;
Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more;
Love more, and all good things will be yours”
What are some simple words of wellness wisdom that you’ve recieved lately?

Well, I”m very metaphysical so I think in terms of ALL that it took to get me to here. So, I have been focused on the ENTIRE journey my soul has taken..all the lessons, all the talents/knowledge/skills learned, all the wisdom…all to get me to this moment and the path I am to take and my destiny….so how could I fail?
A healer recently advised me to not focus anymore on those people who don’t understand me, but rather to focus on those people I am in contact with now and will meet in the future who are ready to receive the gift of me and what I have to offer, and, to go within and feel the true me and strengthen that feeling.
Hi Katelon,
That healer certainly gave you some awesome words of wellness wisdom - thanks for sharing them here. We’re glad to receive the gift of you!
Wise and wonderful words! Sometimes the deepest and truest advice comes wrapped in a short statement. I’ll remember this–thanks for passing it along!
Howdy Eileen,
Funny thing but I did a search for the proverb after I wrote this and saw that it’s been around the internet quite a bit. Odd I had never seen it before. Guess it’s true - when the student is ready the teacher appears. In this case, the proverb is the teacher and we the joyful and receptive students:)
