I just added doing a regular spot each week on San Diego’s CW Channel 6 talking about psychology feature news.

What living a healthy life means to me: Mind, body and spirit fully engaged in the most energizing, creative and satisfying activities–if it only helps me, it’s not fully healthy. A “healthy life” can be read as “heal thy life.” Adding positive emotions, being fully engaged, creating and maintaining healthy relationships, finding meaning in daily life and accomplishing something valued by yourself and others, all add to health and wellbeing.

My healthy living goals for the next year: Promoting optimal health, fitness and performance through a broad range of activities that not only enhance my physical health and wellbeing, but continually renews my 40 year marriage, family relations and old and new friendships. Inspiring others to recognize their choice in health, helping them choose happiness in their daily life, is the flagship of my day.

Five unexpected things about me:

1.  My favorite color is purple

2.  I prefer colorful socks

3.  I love to wash my own car

4.  Deeply, to my core, spiritually sensitive

5.  Always “logged into life” in the most positive ways (7/24/365)
