Day 18: My Beliefs

Some previous posts will give you a sense of my beliefs...here are some other random thoughts.

I believe:

- in taking care of your body
- in being very aware of what nutrients (or crap) you're putting in your body
- in regular exercise
- that the "arts" should remain in public schools
- that children live what they see (this can lead to very positive or negative results)

- that habits are hard to break
- that paying off debt feels really good
- that trying to be at peace all the time actually causes inner conflict
- in the power of music
