All during August, National Wellness Month focuses on self-care, managing stress and promoting healthy routines. Create wholesome habits in your lifestyle all month long and see how much better you feel!

Research has shown self-care helps manage stress and promotes happiness. Whether you challenge yourself to a new yoga pose or try a different spa treatment, make a small change and impact your health in positive ways.

There are numerous ways to make those small changes, too.

  • Increase your water intake.
  • Add more fruits and veggies to your meals.
  • Monitor your sleep and make adjustments for better sleep habits
  • Join a yoga, walking, or aerobics class.
  • Learn to meditate.

These small steps can lead to many more healthy habits in your lifestyle.

Expressions of Gratitude

Jensperspectiveblog Leave a comment

The definition of gratitude is being glad that something has or hasn’t happened; that something or someone exists; experiencing thanks. I started practicing gratitude about more than 15 years ago.  I have refocused on it after suffering a burst aneurysm in 2013. 

Being thankful on a regular basis improves our relationships, sleep, general well-being, and health.  Science has shown that there are many benefits to being grateful, and these are just a few.  Despite being a very simple exercise, when performed on a daily basis, it can have profoundly transformative results.  The habit of identifying things for which we are grateful each day creates new neuropathways in the brain, the more we practice being grateful (or, for that matter, anything we focus on).  For the brain, this process—known as neuroplasticity—is comparable to physical exercise.

Eventually, being grateful becomes a habit, which leads to a more optimistic perspective in general, especially during difficult situations.  We can be thankful for every moment as a chance to develop, learn, and discover a new way of being in the world, but we cannot be thankful for horrible things like this pandemic.  This is resilience.

Observe the abundance of creativity, ingenuity, and kindness all around you.  We are pushing ourselves to discover new ways to thrive rather than just survive.  The question, “What do I actually need?” is becoming more and more common.  What is most crucial?  We’re talking to loved ones about our deepest emotions and recognizing what matters most in life.

For 30 days, I want you to locate at least one item for which you are thankful every day.  A new habit takes around 30 days to form.  Don’t worry if you skip a day; just keep going.  As you write it down, acknowledge and experience the emotions it evokes in your heart.  Although you can do this at any time, it helps you sleep if you recall these things before bed.  Join me if you want to express your gratitude.
