Habit 7
Part 1:
Sharpen the Saw
Teens
should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen
the saw”, they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can better
deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key
dimensions of life- body, mind, heart and soul.
1. Body Eat wholesome
foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol,
tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of
rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early
to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
2.
Mind Think
positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then
each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through
positive “self-talk”.
