Move, Know, Live, Hear, Grow

In his book Body for Life, Bill Phillips talks about the process of transforming our physical bodies as well as our entire lives for the better. Here are 5 of the 11 four-letter words he uses:

'MOVE - Get up and move your body; motion generates emotion and motivation

KNOW - Doubt itself is a symptom of disease; replace doubt with faith

LIVE - Embrace life; take risks; don't live under a rock

HEAR - Tune into your intuition; heed your inner voice; if you're following the masses, you're on the wrong path; the world is very noisy, and that chatter won't help you; quiet down and listen with your heart, not your ears

GROW - growth involves growing pains, but suffering that bears fruit is beautiful; accept the pain of transformation instead of resisting it'
