    2. The Power of Now:  Making wellness a priority for yourself and those you support
    A healthy lifestyle is a key ingredient for a happy and productive life. But, many of us are so overwhelmed with our day to day responsibilities, that we find it difficult to make positive changes in our personal lives. This video is an excerpt from Dr. James Rimmer’s keynote address to Bancroft professionals and other stakeholders, during its Clarence York Lecture Series event on June 29, 2011.  Dr. James Rimmer of the University of Illinois at Chicago spoke extensively about "Power of Now," and why it is so important to be in the present moment. According to Dr. Rimmer, "by making the now the primary focus of our life, we avoid negativity and related self-destructive behavior. He provided strategies for optimizing heath, which include a focus on key areas such as exercise, nutrition and diet, relationships, recreation, relaxation, among others.
