What if you could bring play into the area of health? Legacy Center’s Vision in Action (VIA) Senior Leadership Program has PLAY as the context within which you can achieve extraordinary results.
One participant created a game out of health during VIA, where people would score points, win prizes and have fun over an eight week period. In the process, they would learn about themselves and create a new perspective on health.
Consider creating your own team of “healthy players” who over a short time frame score points for health, win prizes and shift their context of health. All games need players, rules, a structure, a way to win, and a beginning, middle and end. See examples of rules, prizes, and sponsors.
Or, create your own personal game with a buddy where you can design a game of health!
Submit stories about how you practice healthy living. Professionals share about your approaches to health and wellness in your practices. Legacy graduates share about how the Legacy Center workshops have supported your healthy living. Anyone, share about your challenges, breakthroughs, goals, techniques and accomplishments.

As a Legacy Center Trainer and Professor, I am often asked how I stay healthy.To be healthy I play games with myself. I give myself short goals. Walk for 15 minutes, go to the gym for 30 minutes, do 25 sit ups. Many times I end up doing much more. I find if I break down my goals into shorter pieces my mind says it is OK and even may end up doing more. If I don’t exceed it, I don’t beat myself up, I am proud I did it. People have asked my how I stay healthy during the Legacy Center trainings. Days before the trainings, mentally I get ready for a training through visualizations, and physically I prepare through eating well. I also make my health shakes, ginger for tea, packets of vitamins, etc. I have a ritual every morning where I exercise my voice, take my vitamins and food and clear my mind. Many times I do EFT in the morning and evening to clear anything else during the trainings. I also see a chiropractor/oriental medicine practitioner after every Breakthough training as well as an acupuncturist.
