Self Care
What does self-care really mean? Tending to yourself; your heart, your emotional needs, nurturing and nourishing your body, mind, and spirit to bring yourself to your optimal state of holistic wellness.
It’s all about you
Since your mind, and emotional well-being is housed within your body, it makes sense that how we treat our physical self can impact how we feel overall. People often focus on diet and exercise, which are incredibly important to our overall health, but we can’t forget to be kind and gentle with our spirit. When our emotional self is out of whack, it can affect our physical state more than we often recognize.
For people in their younger years, the stress of acquiring the life they wish to have can be overwhelming, leading to burnout and a body that is exhausted on many levels. For those of us over forty, there are a different set of factors that may burden us, including isolation and loneliness.
See how simple acts of connecting with others, meditation, and breathwork can do wonders in bringing you into emotional balance and wellbeing.

2-Pounds A Month: A Plan For Successful and Permanent Weight-Loss
If you think two pounds a month is not worth bothering with, think again. Studies have shown that weight gain in adults happens slowly, at a rate of approximately 1 pound per year. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that their bodies are changing and getting heavier until they’ve added 10-30 pounds onto their frame and wonder how it happened. A 5-10 percent weight loss can have considerable health benefits, including a five-point increase in good HDL cholesterol while lowering bad LDL cholesterol and decreasing one’s risk of heart disease. Losing this weight may also improve weight-related sleep apnea, lower blood pressure and reduce inflammatory substances circulating in the blood.
Loving-Kindness Meditation
The lovingkindness meditation offers a profound and beautiful way to invest 10-15 minutes daily. Personally, I frequently wrap up my workouts by lying on the floor and engaging in this version of Buddhist meditation, which has evolved over my years of practice. The concept is straightforward—reflecting on and expressing gratitude for the goodness in our lives.
