Four Dimensions of Renewal

The Physical Dimension 身

如何有效地照料我們的身體：

食用對的食物

參閱：這樣吃最健康

參閱：救命飲食：越營養，越危險

充份的休息與放鬆

參閱：睡出活力

規律的運動

好的運動對身體的幫助：

endurance - aerobic exercise, cardiovascular efficiency (Murphy: 健走)

flexibility - stretching (Murphy: 瑜珈)

strength - muscle resistance exercise (Murphy: 伏地挺身)

Murphy: 練氣功（如平甩功）對身體也很有幫助。

The Mental Dimension 心

Read

broadly and expose yourself to great minds.

Writing

communicate on the deeper level of thoughts, feelings, and ideas rather than on the shallow, superficial level of events -- affects our ability

to think clearly,
to reason accurately
to be understood effectively

keep a journal of our thoughts, experiences, insights, and learnings
promotes mental clarity, exactness, and context.

Organizing and planning

exercise the visualizing, imagining power of your mind

to see the end from the beginning
to see the entire journey

The Spiritual Dimension 靈 - Value Clarification & Commitment, Study & Meditation

The spiritual dimension is your core, your center, your commitment to your value system.

Q: "How do you maintain that serenity and peace?"
Zen Master: "I never leave my place of meditation."

Meditate early in the morning.
For the rest of the day, carry the peace of those moments with you in your mind and heart.

The Social/Emotional Dimension 菩提心 - Service, Empathy, Synergy, Intrinsic Security

Do it in our normal everyday interactions with other people.

Scripting Others

Most people are a function of the social mirror, scripted by the opinions, the perceptions, the paradigms of the people around them.

Be a positive scripter, an affirmer.

Goethe taught, "Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be."

Balance In Renewal

四個層面都需要兼顧，才能達到最佳成效。

Synergy In Renewal

四個層面的其中之一，都有助於加強7 Habits中的任何一個習慣。

The Upward Spiral

Renewal is the principle -- and the process -- that empowers us to move on an upward spiral of growth and change, of continuous improvement.

To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do continuously.
