“TAKE 5” GAME-PLAN FOR LIFE/SPORTS—LESSON #2
‘INTEGRITY’—‘COMMITMENT’—‘HAPPINESS’

Before venturing into a new lesson, one should always review what one thinks is best for them. During my time in the Education Business, I always told my students that they would take with them what is important to them.

Remember the words of Socrates.

If this is your first time to the website, welcome. If you are returning, welcome back. A new calendar year has started. Personally, my new calendar year is celebrated on my birthday.

This flipping of the New Year only serves as a reminder of the time that has past. It tells us nothing about our future. For those of you who are interested in ‘PLAYIN YOUR DREAMS’, read on.

If you are new, I would encourage you to review the posts, found in the “TAKE 5” Game-Plan for Life/ Sports section, Titled ‘Game-Plan’ and Lesson #1, before proceeding.

For you others let us continue to explore Lesson #2. If you did not partake in the assignments for Lesson #1, I would advise you to stop. The reason being is that you are not fully ‘Committed’ to the core principles of this or any personal Wellness Program.

“TAKE 5” GAME-PLAN FOR LIFE/SPORTS–Lesson #1–INTRO

Welcome, if you have not read the previous post, “TAKE 5” Game-Plan for Life/Sports—The Playbook, I encourage you to do so, before you read the following. You can find the post in The “TAKE 5” Game-Plan for Life section.

Starting this first Friday of December 2015 and continuing the first Friday of each new month, I will be presenting a new lesson that explores the “TAKE 5” Game-Plan for Life/Sports Playbook.

Twelve Lessons have been developed, with six or more in the pre-development phase. Each lesson is designed for a one-month interval between lessons. This gives the individual the digestion time necessary between lessons.

As in overeating, one might induce discomfort when attempting a different Game-Plan for Life/Sports. Since our “TAKE 5” Game-Plan is designed for life, let ‘IT’ unfold as time permits or at 30 days intervals.

The “TAKE 5” Game-Plan for Life/Sports has been designed after observing and analyzing the results that many of my students, grades 3-12, achieved while they practiced and committed themselves regularly to the principles and skills of our Game-Plan. Personally, I have been practicing these skills and principles most of my life.

The “TAKE 5” Game-Plan can be implemented  starting in teenager years through the end of the life cycle.

As you journey forward in designing your Wellness Plan and Philosophy of Life, remember the Gem ‘Knowing’ by Buddha. Observe and analyze over time. Then enjoy a ‘Knowing’.

To assist with Lesson #1, slides from our Power Point Presentation will be included:

Dictionary.com defines Wellness as:

In other words, one should practice certain principles that are tailored to fit the individual to achieve the state of ‘Homeostasis’ as defined by Dictionary.com:
noun
1. The tendency of a system, especially the physiological system of higher animals, to maintain internal stability, owing to the coordinated response of its parts to any situation or stimulus that would tend to disturb its normal condition or function.
2. Psychology. a state of psychological equilibrium obtained when tension or a drive has been reduced or eliminated.
3. Entomology. the ability of members of a colony of social insects to behave cooperatively to produce a desired result, as when bees coordinate the fanning of their wings to cool the hive.
Homeostasis in layman’s term: Your body and brain are working at the level or higher as designed for your individual age, wants, and needs.
