We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. ~ Darius Forouc, How to form new habits that matter

Physical Health

Eat Well

To count or not to count? When you read a recipe, how much does seeing the nutrition facts impact you?

Be Active

Want another reason to add weight training to your weekly exercise calendar? It reduces the fat around your heart. Yep, true.

Let's move!

3 move combinations, twice through. Each 5-minute block is a ladder: start with one of each move, then two of each move, then three... Start your music!

Spiritual Health

Listen to me (and this): get outside! It doesn’t fix everything, but being outside, and enjoying the great wonders that Ma Nature has created for you can help with a number of issues/ailments.

Mental & Emotional Health

This may seem like a social skill, but the ability to forgive is key for emotional wellness. Kids should learn this skill as they get older; parents should already know and own these skills. All that said, it never hurts to repeat lessons. And, sometimes, repeating a lesson (even as an adult) can help remind of things that we have become too busy to focus on.

Social Health

You know what is important? You know what makes a huge difference? Your friends.

Happy Monday! I know you don't always have 15 minutes (especially Thanksgiving week), but try and find it, and watch this. The return on kindness is immense and impressive.
