The Best Stocking Stuffer Hands Down: Your Internal GPS System.

Did you know that you can use the wisdom of your body to guide you in decision making? From what outfit to wear today, to what man to marry.

PANDEMIC POWER: Your Breath

How often do you think about your breathing? Probably not often. It’s one of those things our nervous system controls without our noticing.

When you’re stressed, scared, nervous, or angry, have you noticed the rhythm of your breathing changes? It does! That’s your sympathetic nervous system, which is sometimes called the “fight or flight” system.

Bringing busy schedules, family dynamics, last minute preparations and rich food. There is an energetic exchange going on when we are around so many people and so many expectations. One that often, we don’t realize we have choice in.
