Healthy Living

What is it?

It’s for you to define.

Isn’t that great?

You can make it whatever you wish.

But shoot high!

Don’t limit it.

Make it like you,

Magnificent.

And what will make you truly happy?

Think hard!

I can tell you what will make you happy.

It will be what makes the world happy.

Just think,

What makes the world happy,

Will make you happy.

So be good to the world.

What a fine life you will live,

You lucky person.

What a beautiful world you will have created.

Thank you so much.

Healthy living is our forever goal.

We have created a program for now,

And for the rest of our life.

Say goodbye to anxiety.

Say hello to a lifetime of healthy living.

What’s the Right Time to Read Your Poem?

What’s the right time?

It’s any time that’s right for you.

It has to be your time,

Not mine.

The right time to read your poem,

Is the time that’s right for you.

 I choose to write my blog,

And have it posted the night before,

Just in case you want to read it 

Early in the morning,

With a lover or a friend,

Or yourself.

But the best time really,

Is when you have the leisure

To unhurriedly read your poem,

So you can think about what it means,

Or even meditate on the meaning it has for you.

So find your right time.

May is Our Book Month 

Thoughts on Dr. Tony’s Poems

May all the poems I write

Be beautiful.

May they all display God’s love.

Why else use poetry in writing these blogs?

What is the purpose?

For me,

It’s the best way I have found to show my love

For God, for you, my friends, for myself and the universe.

It’s a journey to the Source of all wisdom,

On which you are about to accompany me.

These poems,

They are songs written to capture

The melody of the universe.

Writing these songs is my way to express my love

For You, the Source, for you, my neighbors,

And for you, Dr. Tony.

Don’t forget yourself!

These poem,

They are feeble attempts to put God’s thoughts

Into human form.

My goal in writing these poems

Is to tell God’s story.

It’s a beautiful story,

For you and me.

Value Wisdom

Why should I so value wisdom?

We have talked about the wisdom within us.

It’s there.

We have it.

Now we have to value it,

Because it has the power to guide us

From the nightmare of anxiety,

To the joy of healthy living.

What is the purpose of wisdom?

It has been given to us,

To guide us through life.

It contains truths

That will help us achieve happiness.

They are our guide.

Follow them.

They are the wisdom within us.

Find your wisdom.

It’s like the good angel on your shoulder.

He has the wisdom.

He tells you the truth.

That good angel is really the Spirit of God.

He’s your guide,

Your gift from God who will show you the way.

Listen to Him.

He loves you.

Get to Know The 16-step Anxiety-Healthy Living Plan

Get to Know The 16-step

Anxiety-Healthy Living Plan

4-22-16

Friday

Anxiety Reduction Month

Let’s take a casual look at the plan.

Let’s slowly get acquainted with it.

That’s all we’re doing today,

Just looking at it.

Here’s an informal view.

The 16-Step Anxiety-Healthy Living Plan

Let’s ask God’s help in following this plan.

Believe he will truly do that.

And trust he will lead the way.

Always focus on the present moment whatever it might be.

We need to be as positive as we can be, not negative.

No good comes out of negativity,

Nor out of negative people, places and things.

People with drug and alcohol issues need to avoid them.

So does everybody.

Learn from the past,

How my anxiety starts and what my triggers are.

Then breathe in peace and calm.

It’s better than anxiety.

It’s up to you to make this program work.

The program is a way out of anxiety,

And into happiness.

What a beautiful program

And it’s just for you

You will make it your own plan

Anxiety and Healthy Living

What do the two have in common?

They have the 16-step program,

For both anxiety and healthy living.

When you diminish your anxiety,

You open the door

To healthy living

It’s the identical program

With a slightly different focus.

We just give it a new name.

Reducing or releasing anxiety

Actually is healthy living.

When anxiety no longer is the main issue,

Our focus becomes healthy living,

But it’s still the same program.

We end up doing the same things.

But now we have a different purpose.

It was reducing anxiety,

Now it’s living a healthy life.

But you may wish to call it healthy living

Even when you’re freeing yourself from anxiety

Now you have one program for life.

That makes it simple.

The Path to Anxiety Recovery

Yesterday we introduced our new program.

Its name is

“The 16-step anxiety program.”

But it also has a second name,

“The 16-step healthy living program.”

Both programs are the same.

They are identical.

The things you do to deal with

Anxiety,

Are the same things you do to deal with

Healthy living.

You get to choose the name of your program.

This emphasizes the fact:

It’s your program.

Remember,

You are the master of your destiny.

You are the master of your program.

Everyone’s program will have a different twist.

What a wonderful program

You will make for yourself.

It will be most beautiful because it will be yours.

And that’s why it will work so well.

There will be guidelines,

But the essence of the program will be you,

It’s your program for life, if you wish.

It will create love, peace and joy in your life,

And God will be there.

How Learn to Love?

We start by going slowly.

We’ll take our time.

We’ll do it one little step at a time.

That’s how we’re going to do it.

We’re never in a hurry.

It’s the one step approach.

Let’s start with what we know about love.

Will take little steps.

Maybe we can start with telling people we love them.

That means you are becoming aware of love.

That’s the beginning – It’s good!

It’s just one little step.

Learning to love – That’s what we’re doing.

Then you’ll come up with your next little step.

Maybe it will be a smile or an hello,

Or maybe you’ll start looking at someone,

And listening to them.

That’s love!

Now we’re loving -- one  little step at a time.

It’s so simple.

It’s so easy.

It’s just one little love step.

You’ve got it!

And you’re already making this a better world.

And what a beautiful world yours has become.

Learning to Love

 

That sounds like a good idea.

Everybody should do that.

Everybody needs to learn to love.

Everybody needs to grow more loving,

Including me.

Love has no limit.

Our ability to love can always be enhanced.

After all, love is the most sublime

Of all virtues.

Above all else,

It is what we need.

Nothing will serve me better than the art of loving.

But how do we learn to love?

I’m not sure anyone can teach us,

But surely we can learn.

Then why in heaven’s name

Don’t we make it our supreme goal in life?

“Learning to love”

Do you need to be convinced of its value?

Then convince yourself,

Because nothing will serve you better.

Nothing will make you more God-like

Than learning to love.

It is life’s ultimate achievement.

Learn to love.

We all need to do that.

What’s Parenting All About?

What’s Parenting All About?

Tuesday

Parent and Child Day

What’s Parenting All About?

That’s a simple question.

It’s all about love--

Caring for the wellbeing of your child.

That’s what parent love is about.

That’s the task you have chosen and must pursue,

If you are to be successful in your parenting.

Parenting

It’s about giving to another--

To the well-being of a child.

It’s a responsibility,

But it’s also a privilege

That you have been given by God.

Do your best parenting,

That’s all you can do.

Recognize it will require much love,

But love that’s given is always returned in some way.

How beautiful it can be,

To love and be loved by a child.

Parenting

Affords us the opportunity

To grow as a human being,

To put aside selfishness

And learn how to love a child,

As well as to make the world a better place

Love More, Do Less

Love More, Do Less

Love Day

Love More, Do Less

We do too much, we love too little

Maybe we don’t value love enough

That’s undoubtedly true

Let’s change that

Love more!

We tend to choose the concrete

We become material persons

We overlook the spiritual

We very often

Don’t even know it exists

It’s topsy-turvy

Our world is inverted

The material is on top of the mountain

The spiritual is under the mountain

It’s hidden away in some cave

Don’t let the Spirit be forgotten

Nor love

They are of too much value

To be relegated to the underworld

Love is the sign of the Spirit, the sign of God

True love

Is evidence of God

Where has it gone?

Where is God?

If you find Love, you will find God

Loving and doing

Let’s combine the two

Let’s put love on top of the mountain

And let the Spirit of Love

Guide us in all we do

Dr. Tony
