The impulses given on the following pages are meant to guide the reader on his or her journey towards a healthy lifestyle. Although based on Schoenstatt's spirituality and pedagogy, the reflections, examples, and guidelines can be helpful also to those who are not part of the Schoenstatt  Family. It is hoped that for all readers who are united in the Covenant of Love with the Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen, and Victress of Shoenstatt, these steps to a Healthy Lifestyle will further their self-education and a renewed appreciation of our Covenant of Love with our Mother and Educator and the graces from the Shrine.
