A practical guide to enjoying every minute of your life

Favorite quote: "What would it take for me to feel better each day than I felt the day before?" Gay Hendricks is one of my favorite personal development authors. Partly, this is because I feel he and I are walking similar paths towards what he calls 'Conscious Living', but a lot of it is more simple than that - he gives good technique. While I found it difficult to apply some of the specifics in the 'Vibrant Eating' part of this book, every other technique was easy to implement and almost immediately impactful. Hendrick's divides the book into five core sections - the vibrance mindset, the vibrance flex (movement), vibrant breathing, vibrant eating, and vibrant connections (relationships). Each section is chock full of practical techniques and suggestions for gaining vibrance when you're feeling sludgy and maintaining and enhancing vibrance when you already are feeling good. In addition, the book finishes with three 'Vibrance routines' - a 7 minute foundation routine, an extended advanced routine, and a 14 day 'Neuro-gymnastics' program to install the vibrance mindset. The fundamental premise here is simple yet radical - it is possible to feel vibrantly alive every minute of every day for as long as you live. While I can't personally vouch for the efficacy of that statement (yet!), I'll settle for what I have learned - I can feel more wonderfully alive in my body more of the time than I ever thought possible.
