Rather than thinking of things in the negative, let's think of them in the positive.

In other words, rather than stopping unhealthy, let's think about starting healthy habits.

So, yes, if we start healthy habits, we may find that the unhealthy just disappear, or become lower in priority.

I spent years trying to overwhelm bad habits by adding more good habits. I thought it was working, but I don't think the bad habits went away. They are always there lurking and are usually much easier than good habits. I think in the end the bad habits will prevail in most people's lives unless you take intentional steps to end them. That's my experience anyway.

Spending time being creative would be a starting point for bringing greater fullness to one's life.

From there, you can take the time to create ways to eat, exercise, and sleep better. You can take the time to foster stronger relationships (with self, friends, family, life partners, children, God). You can take the time to figure out how you can contribute to "the greater good". Up to you how you define that.

From there you take the time to find innovative and creative ways to continue bringing greater fullness to your life.

Sounds easy, doesn't it! Sometimes yes, sometimes no, sometimes maybe.

Being creative - creating anything, whether it's a bouquet of flowers, a fine meal, or a piece of art is a way of expressing the self. It's a way to explore self. It can be spirtually healing. When you create something in the world I believe it's a spiritual enterprise. A way to know and understand. Inspiration after all,comes through us from God.

Yes, Yes, and Yes... Greater fullness... I was thinking about communion today (we're having it on Sunday) and the hymn... "Eat this bread, drink this wine, come to me and never be hungry, etc..." and thinking that living in the light brings fullness... not in the "I believe, therefore I'm filled" sense, but I if address injustices, and I live my life in service to others, and I am working towards a better understanding of myself and how I relate to God and the world around me, (you know, the way we're SUPPOSED to live, according to the wisdom of Jesus), then I will have a fulfilling life. The bread and the wine are like spiritual nourishment to live in this way.
