Chemistry and our To Do List

Most of us are busy ticking off our daily list of things to do.
I have seen the effects of these three things, which ought to be put at the top of our daily list of tasks, that will form the perfect chemistry for the rest of our activities.
a) Get plenty of sleep.
b) Experience happiness in the things that gratify us.(gratitude+satisfy)
c) Find tools that create relaxation and help us find some peace.

From my observations, I can say that, the activities that effect our chemistry most point to where our health is headed.
I've been thinking about the almost 30 years that I have been in the field of health and healing. These are the three ways, that I have found, for people to take back a little control and make the most dramatic improvements in their health and wellbeing.

....The momentary stability afforded by such models is an illusion because the essential nature of life remains chaotic and unknowable. Models are tools, elaborate stories, and we must recognize them as such. Diversity is what emerges when individuals are each able to embrace the freedom to create their own mythology while simultaneously allowing others that same freedom. For the sage, all stories are created equal inasmuch as thy empower the creative flow of life.
