D. H. Lawrence Quotes

I believe you have to have balance in your life.

Leanness of body and soul may go together.

Everyone has their own definition of a healthy lifestyle, and mine has come to mean making health a priority but not an obsession.

The trouble about always trying to preserve the health of the body is that it is so difficult to do it without destroying the health of the mind.

My family and friends and career are very important to me, but running allows me to be a better friend, a better family member, and makes me better at my career.

Everything in moderation. I keep a healthy body, a healthy look. It's important not to be obsessive about anything - fitness, training, eating - because then you end up focusing on only that. And you can't obsess about anything when you're on the road.

When I do martial arts, I feel like its inward facing. Like, I'm improving myself, I'm getting healthier. It's almost like mindfulness for something.

People get caught up in the idea that health is just what you look like and what you eat, but your health is physical, emotional and mental. Who's to say eating that bowl of ice cream after training isn't going to help me psychologically and emotionally?

If thou wouldst preserve a sound body, use fasting and walking; if a healthful soul, fasting and praying. Walking exercises the body; praying exercises the soul; fasting cleanses both.

Sometimes when I'm healthier on a big day, I feel better about myself. If I eat terribly and I don't sleep well and I drink too much - three or four or five days in a row - it really catches up to me. It's good to have one fun day, as I call it, whether it be a Saturday, a Sunday, a Monday. It doesn't matter.

When I'm working and I eat healthily all week, then I give myself one day - usually Sunday - when I eat just what I want. You have to; otherwise, your mind goes a little nutso.

I've spent most of my life doing some sort of exercise, but I've learned to never push myself into doing it. I know that when I am up for it I will, and when I'm not in the mood to, I don't make myself feel badly over it.

As an artist, I think you always have to take care of yourself as a person probably even more than the average person because your body is so important to your art.

We shouldn't force ourselves to do something that really is just painful to us. If there is a discrepancy between what we are doing or putting our bodies through and then what our minds are telling us, you really have to look at yourself, and the most essential part of it is the pleasure aspect.

Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we're scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don't have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.

Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else.

Nobody's life is ever all balanced. It's a conscious decision to choose your priorities every day.

The state of your psyche is reflected in your body.

The winners in life treat their body as if it were a magnificent spacecraft that gives them the finest transportation and endurance for their lives.

I've learned to set boundaries and know when to say, 'I just need to rest.' I'm good at listening to what my body's telling me.

I listen to my body, I give it things it wants and I eliminate things it doesn't want.

This is a gift. This is a gift from God. It's really like the old Biblical passage that talks about your body being a temple. That's not to say that I've never done anything but I've never abused myself. Never gone over the top for a long period of time.

I've gotten my personal life all the way intact and made sure that it's straight. Without that, you have no foundation. Your building is going to crumble.

I want balance in my life.

Take your work seriously and yourself lightly.
