How to Sharpen Your Axe
this Valentines Day

Last week I introduced my newest Fun
Commandment, Sharpen Your Axe.

Here’s how to start sharpening your axe
today:

1. Choose a method of physical renewal. Unless
you’re already exercising
regularly, I suggest walking for 30 minutes
three or four times per week. You
can always increase the intensity and
duration of your physical renewal if you
need. Of course, consult your physician if
you have any special needs or
concerns.

2. Choose a method of mental renewal. I
suggest reading an exciting,
motivating, and/or inspiring book for 20 or
30 minutes before bed each night. Or
you might want to study a new subject or
learn a new skill. I recommend
starting with one of my favorite books,
Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly
Effective People.

3. Choose a method of spiritual renewal. I
recommend that you acquire a
tape or CD of a favorite comedian to listen
to in your car. Choose someone
classy, clean, and clever - who really
makes you smile - like Bill Cosby,
Jerry Seinfeld, or Bob Newhart.

All you need to do after choosing how you
will sharpen your axe in these three
areas is...do it. You won’t have a problem
with that if you take care to make
your methods fun, as I have suggested. Taking
action will make you feel so
darn good, you’ll give yourself a gentle
kick for neglecting yourself so many
years.

And make sure you don’t set your goals and
expectations too high. You’ll
notice that my recommendations don’t
involve great lifestyle changes or
massive amounts of time.

That’s because, when you are sharpening
your axe, you don’t need to make up for all
the times you haven’t been doing it. You
only need to do a little bit for today.

I know you’re going to have much more
energy for your plans and goals now. You
won’t be diverting 50% or more of it
toward cleaning up the wreckage of
non-maintenance anymore. And more energy
also means more fun and happiness –
which is your greatest key for health and
success.

By the way, in case you missed it I have
published the findings from your
first Valentine's Day survey results! Over
200 of you responded and told me
some fascinating things like: 63% of you
believe in love at first sight.

You also told me that a sense of fun is the
most important factor when considering
dating someone and friendliness is far-and-
away the most important factor when
gauging someone's approachability. Read

Some Humor to Help You Smile

"I love to go shopping. I love to freak
out salespeople. They ask me if they
can help me, and I say, 'Have you got
anything I'd like?' They ask me what
size I need and I say, 'Extra medium.'"
