Thankful…..of course!

Of course we are all thankful, and of course everyone took a turn this past week to think about what they were grateful for.  And even though the same themes resonate for most of us (community, togetherness, good health, etc), as I reflect upon it now, I think what could set each of us apart is how we carry the thankfulness into the upcoming weeks and months.  Do we manage to continue the thankful thoughts on a daily basis? Weekly?  Monthly?  Can we remember to sit down with friends and family on a regular basis and feel grateful?  I think the challenge is to incorporate those feelings into the mundane details of daily life. And of course, in my world, to center them around health and wellness.  Be thankful for health and wellness, and carry those feelings forward as far and as long as you can!  Happy Thanksgiving!

  • Stress eating

    Guest blog: When you become stressed and life is overwhelming, you tend to stress eat. People eat junk food and stress eat, even if they are not hungry. This does not actually help you de-stress, although people believe that it works. Rather than stress eating, try triangle breathing: breathe in for a count of three,…
