Friday, March 31

Today is Friday, March 31. The plants grow towards the light and we can choose to do the same.

Think about this: Every day we make small choices that over time, accumulate to result in big change or staying the same. By simplifying or automating the “better” choices, it becomes easier to achieve the results you want.

DGoV (Daily Gift of Vitality) Activity: Determine the future you want and what you need to do to get there. Then, set yourself up for success by making the best choices, the ones that are automated or easiest to make.

A quote by many of our patients in practice, “I’ve got this!”

Thank you to Dan Deziel, “Today’s Rainbow.”

Wednesday, May 12

Today is Wednesday, May 12, 2021. Walking along the pond, noticing the ducks go with the flow. They are so present.

During the month of May, we are focusing on routines.  Routines can anchor us, decrease stress, foster creativity, prioritize self-care, and allow time to pursue our passions!  This week we will look at before bed routines.  

Get a head start for the next day:

    • Prepare your “To Do” list for tomorrow and include what you are most looking forward to.
    • Do some of your typical morning chores the day before: organize your lunch, set out your clothes.
    • Pack your school or work bag.
    • Visualize a successful day.

Recharge yourself and share positive energy when you repeat: 

“I am [*Name*].  I am open to the positive energy around me. I appreciate myself and others as I connect with love and kindness. As I think about those I love and care for, I send loving kindness and compassion to all people including me. Together, we can do great things.”

An Irish Proverb. “A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.”

Use this Mindfulness Activity to Re-energize your Body and Mind:  

    • Straighten your spine. Roll your shoulders back and down, smile to yourself, & relax your jaw.
    • Take slow deep belly breaths, allowing your stomach to rise with each breath in and relax with each breath out. You may find that each breath gets better and better. Allow your shoulders to relax on each exhale.
    • Wherever you are, pause, and notice everything that you are hearing: laughter, birds, cars, music….
    • Take another deep breath and continue on.
