Wellness! – 10 Small Changes Make a Large Impact.
FIND YOUR HAPPY TRIGGER.
Each day, first thing, remind yourself about one thing that makes you happy. We each have a happy trigger. Part of our inner core, it doesn’t care how old we are, what we weigh, or how much education we have.
Find your happy trigger and meditate on it daily for 1-2 minutes when you first wake up.
HAVING TROUBLE TURNING OFF THOUGHTS WHEN YOU GO TO BED?
Try this: List your thoughts in a notebook and then put the book away. This is your way of putting these recurring thoughts away for the night.
NEED MORE SLEEP?
Banish your phone, fitness watch, computer, and any other piece of equipment with a little blue light, from your bedroom.
NEED MORE TIME?
Eat a meal with your family, or someone you enjoy being around. Sometimes the daily grind overwhelms us with stressful information. Time with friends and loved ones can be healing. Plating food and sitting down for a meal can enrich your life and bring joy.
MAKE TIME FOR BLISS.
Book a reflexology or Reiki therapy session. An hour spent on a healer’s table can be both grounding and healing.
DE-CLUTTER TO ELIMINATE WHAT’S WEIGHING YOU DOWN.
If you no longer see an item and don’t notice it, the time has come to release it to the universe where it can find renewed energy in another environment. An added bonus is that you will also be making room in your life for what is important.
VISIT WITH A PET
Owning a pet is not always an option for everyone. You don’t have to own a pet to receive its unconditional love. When you pet sit, visit with someone else’s pet, or walk a dog at a shelter, you can still benefit from lower blood pressure, reduce your stress hormones, and improve your sense of well-being.
PRAY
Prayer is always appropriate, whatever your religious beliefs, or situation.

READ A BOOK. LISTEN TO MUSIC.
Books and music lower your heart rate and ease your muscle tensions.
CREATE A VISION BOARD
Add images, artwork, and other finds and mementos which can inspire, expand, and positively motivate you. A vision board helps you create your future.

Healthy Lunch
Do you sometimes have trouble getting through the afternoon? Maybe it’s time to invest in a healthy lunch.
A healthy lunch doesn’t have to be just an extension of an already over packed morning. A healthy lunch should be a respite from the confusion and stress of the morning leading up to the lunch hour.
TAKE A WALK – Whether you work in an office, factory, retail outlet, or home, walking is a good way to make your lunch a bit more enjoyable and healthy. Your lhealthy lunch walk doesn’t have to be long. Nor is it a substitute for food. It is a chance to change your environment and move your muscles for a few minutes.
TAKE A POWER NAP – Five or ten minutes devoted to putting one’s feet up and closing one’s eyes can change your life. No kidding. A few minutes sleeping in the middle of the day makes a lot of difference in the remainder of my day. And, it can make the same difference in yours.
MAKE YOUR LUNCH HEALTHY. Healthy, clean food can make a world of difference in how you function in the afternoon. Basically, that means you eat foods that are food. Boycott chemical laden lunches which are low in nutrition and high in calories and toxic additives.
GET AWAY FROM YOUR DESK. No matter how stressful things are, physically remove yourself from your desk for at least fifteen minutes. Take a walk. Chat with a couple of working colleagues. Make a personal call or two. Your goal is to take yourself away from the desk physically, mentally, emotionally for a few moments.
DO YOU RUN ERRANDS? Walk them if you can. The exercise you get on your lunch break will refresh you physically, mentally, and emotionally.
ARE YOU ON A DIET? Start a lunch group where you eat with other colleagues who are also interested in weight management, health, and nutrition. You can enjoy the group socially as well as support each other as you lose weight.
YOUR HEALTHY LUNCH BEGINS WITH A HEALTHY BREAKFAST. It’s much harder to eat a healthy lunch if you’ve skipped breakfast and are hungry and craving high-fat, high calorie, high carb foods. A good breakfast which includes whole grains and lean proteins will serve you well throughout the morning.
INCLUDE A HEALTHY SOUP. A healthy soup will include the protein and fiber you’ll need to get through the afternoon. The ideal soup will be broth based and will make you feel full while not wasting calories.
LEAVE YOUR BUILDING. GET OUTSIDE. Whether you are running errands, power walking, or visiting with friends, make sure you walk outside your building for a few minutes. Take a few deep breaths. Be outside. Is it raining? Snowing? Broiling hot? Whatever is happening outside your building, spend a couple of minutes experiencing this day. Enjoy a couple of minutes of this escape to recharge!
No matter how stressful your day, consider how best to use your lunch time.
Go for it!
