If you haven’t caught the Christmas spirit, you’re guaranteed to find it at Montague. In my previous High Level Wellness column I provided the following defini of the concept: ”... a lifestyle approach to realizing your best potentials for pi sical health, emotional serenity, zest for living, and mental peace through clal of purpose.” I would like to clarify this definition and plant some more seeds thought. j . 1 • High level wellness isn’t something that seeks you out. You don t achieve it donning a jogging suit, eating health foods, meditating five minutes a day or wi ing for it. You most assuredly don’t achieve high level wellness by accepting col flu, high blood pressure, headaches, acne, tooth decay, etc., as necessary evils ti attack randomly to bring misery and discomfort. You choose a high level welln lifestyle or an “illness/worseness” lifestyle. AniGricans are evidently favoring the illness/worseness lifestyle, as they are healthy than at least 25 other countries and are putting increasing demands on medical professions. The cost of health care insurance (it might be more propriately termed “disease care insurance”) and medicine has become so rageous that people can’t afford to be sick; yet most Americans pursue illness styles. If Mars Hill is typical, most college students are riding that illness lifesi bandwagon along with their older adult models. But many are curious, even bit skeptical, about wellness, and some are even thinking about getting off the ness bandwagon altogether. The following excerpt from High Level Wellness is for those who are contemp ing a lifestyle change from “worseness” to wellness: ^ Imagine that you live in a dictatorship. The leader is a tyrant and a character, even by authoritarian standards. While you and most other citizf are reasonably prosperous, educated, and secure, you are required to pursU' certain kind of lifestyle. Specifically, you must refrain from all vigorous eZ' cise, eat a high-fat diet laced with refined white sugars and flours, and plenty of additives, preservatives, and stablizers in your food each day. YoU' expected to weight at least 20 pounds more than the optimal range for your z sex, height, and bone frame. In addition, there are certain quotas expec _ 1« of you: you must consume large quantities of coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, and other drugs. Computers are set up to monitor your adherence to tbsi. ini regimens; deviations are treated harshly. Naturally, no meditation or forms of relaxation are allowed. Once a year, however, on the tyrant’s bi(jj ^^^'^rship -tl into . v_^iiLiC a ycai, iiuwcvci, uii me ijr*^a**t*^ A tk —^ dav, vou are permitted to enjoy natural foods, refrain from caffeine, smokL /*® Pres: . . - . --e^wing the and the drinking of intoxicants. You can pursue the exercise of your choiefi.^ § this day, and any form of stress management is similarly looked upon ^ permissible endeavor on this particular occasion, jy Isn’t it amazing how many of us act as if there really were a tyrant programiH'iy _ . us to self-destruct before our time? Imagine what would happen on the r' birthday when a 24-hour period of health-enhancing behavior was possil/ettiarj^g ‘ s on How many folks do you suppose would pass up the single chance to get out ^rhallejjgg ^ 1/ »/** AA w »-»j| Q run, play, and feel alive on this special day?

And wouli* this occasion be a time of experimenting with some forms of stress manageifl*'ytin j\her to allay anxiety, tension, and upsets? Udy You have such a day—every day. The only tyrant you face is your own inetifvra Ladd and absence of will—your belief that you are too busy to take your own W*:;bttiinggp being into your own hands and that the pursuit of self-health through a wellne j'’ay Enoch: promotive lifestyle is too hard, complicated, or inconvenient. Hall, Aii Good news! You can depose this inner tyrant and set up a new governO)^ of you—to preside over a different kind of lifestyle for a fuller kind of life. difference can be greater than night and day. The difference can be high 1®' wellness—as opposed to low level worseness. . Self responsibility is a key to high level wellness. You can get your well” J_j( program started by finding reading material on the subject. If you prefer a low level worseness lifestyle you can look to the people who', statements like “I’d rather die happy than quit eating junk foods” or “I don’t H time for exercise” or “I have my Fall cold” or “If I avoided everything 11 you’re supposed to cause cancer, I wouldn’t be able to do anything.” Or you can talk ’ j°n’t joi Dr. Hal Herzog who would have written a Low Level Worseness column if he c”' d. have mustered the energy.
