Wellness Ideas/Tips
Practice GRATITUDE every day.
Live within your means and in the PRESENT moment. Spend time PLAYING. Start a Miracle Journal, Gratitude Journal, or Help Journal. Move your body to uplifting MUSIC. Listen to your inner critic as you would a true friend. Learn how to RESET yourself on a bad day. Decide to give up the most meaningless activity you do. Stop trying to fix or change other people - you only have control of yourself. Create a space in your home just for you. Create a circle of positive and trusting people & inspiration for support. Drink Water and Eat Fresh Foods - it will energize you! Tune into positive news, people, and environments. Live your life with Integrity (who you are when no one is looking). Did you know ... whenever you are a giver, receiver, or observer of an act of kindness, your body releases hormones that are a natural anti-depressant.
