Lifestyle means many things to many people. For me it includes our natural environment, our level of stress, happiness and relaxation. Easier said than done. How about a few tips we can all do to create some purity, nature and rest in our lives:

• Sunlight - Yes get outdoors even in the winter. For my article on full-spectrum lighting check out Issue Five at www.createvibranthealth.com/newletters.htm
  
• Pure air. For those of us in the Chicago area gets an air purifier for your home - definitely your bedroom. The best I've found are Hepa Filters, I have a Health Pro check out www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com
  
• Pure water - Ok this is obvious by now but many people still don't filter their drinking and shower water. www.waterwise.com for shower filters. Get a carbon filter system for the tap. It works and is affordable.
  
• Rest - one day off a week with no work - Yes that would be great -my new years resolution is just that for myself how about you?
  
• Vacation - Get away every 3-4 months if you can manage for at least a week or two. When I do this I feel rejuvenated.
  
• Get a massage, Reiki healing or bodywork every two -four weeks. This one I do.
  
• A Hot bath with Sea salt is a great way to relax and detoxify.
  
• Keep your home and office full of nice plants and positive energy. A friend of mine, Rich Feingold, does home and office Fung Shui space clearing, which is a process used to raise the energy level of your physical surroundings. This may sound far out to some of you, however, many people, myself included, have found a more peaceful, harmonious and enlivening energy after a Fung Shui Space clearing.
