2. Quiet the mind
3. Transform fear, anger and jealousy
4. Reconnect to the natural world
5. Honor yourself
6. Know and set the quest
7. Live what you ask for
8. Slow down to get faster
9. Invite your inner cave man to the table

Also Secunda and Allen have designed a simple 15-question survey to help you determine if you are fit with questions about weight, stress, exercise and spirituality. To take the fit quiz, go to: http://www.fitsoul-fitbody.com/The-Fit-Quiz.aspx
