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 four days that mark the movements of the earth around the sun provide a great time to reflect. The Solstice are December 21 and June 21- the longest night and longest day. The Equinox are September 21 and March 21- the days and nights are equal.
Without our help, the earth keeps moving, and it's movements impact our lives, whether we notice it or not.
In the far north, the summer solstice is the peak of long days, and may be celebrated for plentiful daylight (and sometimes sunshine, sometimes rain). OR- you could focus on if today is the longest day, the following days will be shorter and shorter until December when the cycle starts all over.
We have choices:
what do we notice about the marvels of the earth?
how do we think about changes, and what difference does it make to our mood and attitude?
Today is good day to pause and consider this.
Those I see regularly and those who live far away,especially those who pick up a conversation where we left off months or years ago
Help your body take care of you by drinking enough water; if you have a persistent cough, an accessible, economical treatment is being well hydrated.
Think of the cilia in your respiratory tract as hairs that protect your lungs. They work best when well hydrated- your body uses the water you drink to hydrate essential parts, including the cilia.
There are other things that can help, but reaching for water first, before things get severe can be a good idea.
Our bodies have great abilities to adapt to too much or too little water; because of this, we can be complacent and not notice when improving the quality or having a glass of water instead of a different beverage can improve how we feel. Filtered water in a glass or stainless water bottle is healthier than a plastic bottle.
If you are feeling hungry, listless or tired, have a big glass of water and notice if you feel better, there's a good chance it will help.
