No one can care or know more about your body than you do.
The past year has shown how each of us is unique, and that it is a good idea to learn what will promote individual physical and mental health.
We’re building a community of people who are looking for more healing and less need for healthcare.
The weather is warming. In the Southwest, residents of the desert enjoy the remaining days of mild sunshine. In the North, people look forward to days longer than nights, as the warmth of the sun returns.
Spring is the time of new beginnings. It is a natural time to pause , reflect, and decide what you want your health to be.
This is a good time to take an honest look at our personal health status and habits, and think about choices.
Some things to consider:
mental clarity: ability to focus, calmness or agitation, impact of sleep,social media, meditation or exercise
sleep: quality and quantity, what impacts it?
food: choices, variety, patterns of eating
movement: how much of the day is long stretches of sitting? movement and exercise of both heart and muscles
News and social media: how much time, how is it impacting health and attitude?
If you don't know where you are starting, and where you want to go, how will you know when you get there?
We are affected by everything that enters our body, through our eyes, skin, mouth or ears.
How we choose impacts our healthspan.
The plants are blossoming, let's join them!
It's never too soon , or too late, to start. Do one (or more) things that support health
Take the time to nurture relationships and establish new ones. It's easy to let time slip by and lose touch.. We support our communities and they support us
Nature follows cycles whether we are watching or not. These salmon know where they are going. I invite you to sit mindfully with them , and if you wish, share what that is like.
A dear friend is helping others with significant challenges today, and this is posted for her,
and for you.
Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
