Leading a healthy lifestyle is so much more than feeding your body it is also about feeding your mind and soul.

Inspiration and motivation are food for the mind and soul and feeling inspired and motivated comes from achieving your dreams.

When last did you take time out to think about your dreams, to think about the things that you are passionate about, that give your life a sense of purpose and that makes you really happy? So often I hear people say that they don't know what it is they want anymore, they don't know what steps to take or where to begin?

Well, start by allocating yourself a block of time - perhaps an hour - to start the process.

Remember that to achieve a healthy lifestyle we need balance and that means taking all the different dimensions of who we are into account.

Each individual has the following dimensions.

• Physical
• Emotional
• Social
• Intellectual
• Occupational
• Spiritual

Under each aspect of your life write a wish list of all the things you would love to do. What would make you feel energized and excited?

The list will clarify what is important to you and you can then focus on the things that give you energy. Using the list you have drawn up, write down the goals you would like to achieve for the year. Every day do at least one thing that will help you achieve your goal.

Each person has different needs and dreams that are unique to them. No-one can make you happy except yourself. So don't wait around for other people - you'll wait forever. Start now and invest some time in yourself by discovering your dreams.
