Welcome. You've come to the right place. Let me assure you that you are valuable, and that everything in your life is just fine - although things may not appear to be so fine right now. As a matter of fact, if you are like a lot of us, it's really hard to be happy, fulfilled, and satisfied these days, what with limits and budgets.
That's what this blog is all about. It is called Dr. Norris Chumley Satisfied Life for good reason: this is the place to explore being truly satisfied with every aspect of your life. I'll show you how, step-by-step. I am a theologian and author, a specialist in living well and in loving God - you may know me from my books and videos, and many years on Beliefnet.com. I've lost 160 pounds and maintained that weight loss over 16 years, thank God.
What do I mean by "satisfied life?" It means having enough, and being enough. Taking really good care of yourself in every way - keeping your weight in balance, eating well, using your body and mind, connecting with others and with God. It means accepting and even loving yourself - just the way you are. In this blog - our blog -- you'll discover new ways to enjoy moving and being physical - handling stress and personal crises without resorting to overeating - spiritual practices that will calm you and nurture your whole being from the inside out. Liberating yourself in every way from old habits, past-problems, debts, and mistakes.
We'll work together, day-by-day, becoming conscious of your old patterns and useless beliefs that may have once offered a false sense of satisfaction, but are now excess burdens. We will appreciate nature, and how we naturally belong in the divine design. We'll cook, eat and play together. We will talk of relationships, and the importance of helping others. I'll write and speak often on the subject of "enjoying what you have, instead of craving what you don't have." I'll often encourage you to "enjoy who you are."
Most of all, this blog is about being centered in the moment that is now. It's about positive thinking, instead of negative sabotage. Dr. Norris Chumley Satisfied Life is about you: your whole self just right, as you are, fully alive and satisfied.
Best Blessings,
Norris Chumley, Ph.D.

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! At this present day in time, it is so easy to focus on your finanical situation, not being married and/or any illness that you may have. This message spoke to me in helping focus on loving me more. I was watching Joel Osteen on last week and he stated that you have to see yourself coming out of the situation that you may be in and tell your situation, that it is no longer welcomed in your body, house, and mind!
Hi there and let me just say how inspiring you are to me! I appreciate your daily words of wisdom! I am finally losing weight......40 to go, but I lost 6# last month!!! Whoo Hoo!! I am eating just to be satisfied, not STUFFED! That feeling to me now is something that makes me just sick to even think about!!! Move, move, move away from the kitchen is another one of my mottos!!
Blessings,
Barbara
!Hi!
I feel thankful to God because im not alone in this journey.
Not only with my weight but also with my life, family, selfconfidence
Thanks Dr. Norris and all the friends that write in this blog.

Please let me be a part of this group. I am so confused and while I want to lose weight, I am not motivated. I am 64 years old and I want a consistent pattern of behavior that is not destructive. I find your comments encouraging and I want to be a better person, one who encourages others.
My pain today is unbearable. I lost my husband of 47 years just thirty hours ago and I am so numb; I don't believe I can go on without him. He was my rock and I have always been the weak one. All I can think about now is joining him. God help me.
