50 Ways To Care For Your Body.

There hasn’t been any new posts in 5 days because I’ve been busy trying to create� a structured balance with my academics, life coaching/counselling, blogging, family life and work so that no one or nothing suffers.

I have 30 case studies and two final assessments to submit on or before October 29, 2009 for the first part of my postgraduate study, so I have to utilize all the spare time I have wisely. Having said that my target is to put up two or three posts each week, respond to comments and still look for opportunities to write guest posts.

This topic generated a lot of suggestions from my friends/colleagues at work, so in no particular order here are fifty ways to care for your body. Some are controversial but it still makes the list.
