Going through change can mean challenging times and may be somewhat difficult to navigate. During such times we may require support, so know that its ok to ask for help. Do what's possible, with what you have, with what you can give, with where you are at. You don't have a crystal ball. Just keep turning up. Focus on what you know and what you're grateful for when things feel overwhelming.
"It'a a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.

When I sit down to write a post I ask... "what information can I share that might help someone be a little healthier or happier?"
It's also nice to provide advice and observations that appear reasonable, scientific and sensible. I don't want to look to whacky right?
Well this time I'm pushing the limits. Read on if you're game. Here's some observations - are they sensible, reasonable or necessarily scientific???
Dr Bruce Lipton in this recent article, flying in the face of my "no sensible science in this article" approach explains how love effects the biological function of individual cells. |

Does your family have traditions - something you do for special occasions, birthdays, Christmas or other holiday events?
If not, why not?
Even if you don't have kids, that doesn't mean you can't implement some traditions.
Traditions can give us something to look forward to. They're a ritual that make an occasion special and gives us good vibes - the warm and fuzzies. Some traditions are common but often they can be unique to you and yours.
Below we've listed some ideas for festive season traditions that we do or have observed our extended family or friend do. |

You don't have to meditate to get the benefits of mediation. Movement and mindful practices will similarly give you these benefits, ie activities / practices such as surfing, gardening, watching sunsets or knitting....
What is your thing? If it gives you a sense of calm and peace it is a meditative practice that is good for you and done regularly will contribute to good health and mental wellbeing.

“How Great are you?”
I’m glad you asked It’s a vital question that’s often passed
if we focus on transgressions and our failings And all the lifely areas in which we may be ailing
How great are you.... I’ll tell you straight You’re an “A” grade legend, mate
You stayed at home However tempted you were to roam
Traded trips to exotic shores for four walls
You ate weird things - you cooked from cans You watched as circumstances changed our plans
Now you may think this poem ain’t pretty, |
