Start the New Year Right: Get SPIRITUALLY Fit!

Joe Paprocki Books

Many of us make New Year’s resolutions that include getting physically fit. Nothing wrong with that! However, there’s another kind of fitness that is equally if not more important: spiritual fitness. Why not make a commitment this New Year to pay attention to your spiritual wellness? With that in mind, I’m happy to announce the publication of my new book:

7 KEYS TO SPIRITUAL WELLNESS:

ENRICHING YOUR FAITH BY STRENGTHENING THE HEALTH OF YOUR SOUL

7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness

The book will be available in February, 2012, however, you can pre-order it now. Just click here.  Likewise, I’m not going to make you wait until February to get started on your New Year’s plan…I will have a PDF of Chapter 1 available for download some time next week! Here’s a quick peek at the 7 keys to spiritual wellness:

  • Key One:  Seeing Yourself as You Really Are
  • Key Two:  Actively Seeking the Good of Others
  • Key Three: Thinking Before Acting
  • Key Four:  Holding on Loosely
  • Key Five:  Recognizing and Setting Limits
  • Key Six:  Seeking Beauty
  • Key Seven: Unleashing Your Imagination

 Let’s get fit this New Year! Spiritually fit, that is!
