101 Exercises for the Soul: Simple Practices for a Healthy Body, Mind & Spirit

Life is short, far too short to waste its magic. The majority of us take life far too seriously. We rarely take time to enjoy the moment. The idea of being silly or playing is beyond our realm of thought. Yet, play and silliness is probably exactly what we all need. There's really no better stress reliever. Plus, there's the added benefit of actually enjoying life. 101 Exercises for the Soul contains twenty coaching tips that are good for the body, mind, and soul. Accompanying each tip are exercises that teach us to relax and not take life so seriously. Plenty of these will make you feel self conscious at first but after a while they bring out the inner child.

101 Exercises for the Soul: "A Divine Workout Plan for Body, Mind, and Spirit" By Dr. Bernie Siegel is another excellent book by this award-winning, best-selling author. Siegel reminds us that exercising our soul is as important as exercising our bodies, yet most of us forget or don't know how to do this. It does not require meditating on top of a mountain, or going on a silent retreat, or even attending church, but it does require attention and regular mindfulness. And exercising your soul yields tremendous rewards of living and loving with enthusiasm and joy. In simple exercises Dr. Siegel suggest things you may never have thought to be nurturing your soul and increasing your deep happiness. Such things as keeping your baby picture nearby to admire and appreciate, adopting a pet and playing with it every day, keeping a dream journal, creating a personal altar in your home, facing the fear that has always hindered you and experiencing and embracing it (even doing a daring sport), taking fun or beautiful photographs, or breaking out of your daily rut and doing something fun and unusual. These are some of the simple but joyful things Siegel suggests and then tells how you are nurturing your soul and exercising it in doing these. This is a little book which can be opened to any page and savored, trying the things that appeal to you and leaving the others for someone else. We highly recommend keeping this book by your bed and savoring it like chocolate for your soul by trying one exercise each day.

Great little book that holds enormous wisdom and suggestions to enrich and strengthen your life.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. This book is simultaneously simple and profound. A recommended read for anyone who wants to be inspired. Dr. Siegel helps his readers see the "big picture."

You can open this book to any page and find a motivating and soul refreshing exercise that is simple to do and fulfilling to accomplish. Thank you Dr. Siegel for this helpful and heart-touching book.
