Making healthy lifestyle choices is important for our overall health and wellbeing. Beautiful Minds encourages the CHOOSE LIFE© principles which improve our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Ideally, these principles will be formed into new “habits” and become a regular part of our daily wellness plan. However, in times of sickness and stress it’s even more important that we diligently apply these principles.
