“The modern definition
of violence is an
overabundance
of busyness.”

Welcome to Healthy Living with Peggy Fitzpatrick

My intention for this websie is to offer suggestions to readers that can easily be incorporated into daily living. 

My experience has been that the concepts of dieting, rigorous excercise plans, or restrictions of any kind haven't worked for me because my "basic self" rebels.  I have discovered that adding a healthy habit works far better than continuously attempting to rid myself of an unhealthy one.  So, I encourage being gentle with yourself as you place your intention to develop healthy life disciplines.  The word "disciple" is a good one in describing the desire to be as healthy as you can.  Being a disciple unto yourself while caring for your temple (body, mind and spirit) is a perspective that I use in my own life.

What are the components of healthy living that lead to whole person healing?

• Exercise/Movement
• Healthy food and pure drinking water
• Silence/Quiet times/Relaxation/Rest
• Prayer/Contemplation/Meditation
• Fun/Recreation/Laughter
• Music/Sound therapy
• Inspirational books and films
• Nature/Beauty/Art
• Massage/Energy and Bodywork
• Mini Vacations/Change in scenery

When we don't make time in our lives for some, or all of the above components, consider the possibility that we are doing violence to ourselves.

 

Peggy creates a gentle, loving space of acceptance and healing. I experience complete relaxation with her during which all kinds of physical and emotional healing can occur. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
