"Brain researchers estimate that your unconscious database outweighs the conscious on an order exceeding ten million to one. This database is the source of your hidden, natural genius. In other words, a part of you is much smarter than you are. The wise people regularly consult that smarter part."

Michael J. Gelb (b. 1952) Writer, author

If your goals have a wellbeing aspect to them, is it time for you to take responsibility for your future health? What can you do to move you a step further towards a healthier, fitter future?

You've read the reports; you've seen the programmes and filed the information in your mental 'To Do' File. So do it! It might involve taking some omega-3 supplements (obtainable from either fish oil or vegetarian supplements), it could be that you need to up your water intake, it might be getting the old bike out of the garage but you haven't quite got round to it yet. No more putting it off! The time and effort you invest in yourself from now on will more than provide you with a generous future dividend - good health.

What better thing can you do for yourself than take care of your health?

If you haven't already started to add a little more activity to each day then now is the time to start. If you have started, can you up the ante and push yourself a little bit more? You'll reap the benefits if you do.

I can go on and on about this (and probably will!), but essentially it is down to you.

I've read that the best kind of meal is the naturally colorful ones (no artificial colorings in sight!). How creative can you get with your meals? Lovely crisp red, yellow, orange and green peppers, gorgeously crinkled Savoy cabbage, beautiful beetroot, crunchy carrots in all their golden splendour! Oooh, it makes my mouth water just to write this!

What can you do to help you increase your sense of wellbeing that involves no, or very little, cost? What do you like doing that would give you pleasure to do more of? Have you a book waiting to be read? How about going for a blustery autumnal walk? Go on! You can do it! Get those brain cells boosted!
