Hello ,
Hello November!
Life continues to give me opportunities to practice what I preach!
The last few months have been the FULL SPECTRUM of emotions.
Somedays I chose foods to nourish me, moved my body in a way to support, prioritized rest, chose into mindful practices and reached out to community AND other days, well..... not so much!
Through pause and reflection, I realize being alive and living fully is a practice. There is no place to get to, instead stay curious, be kind (self thoughts), notice, run the experiment and trust you inner knowing.
I find that during busy, stressful times, such as the upcoming holiday season, pausing to anchor myself to 2-3 things that are important and will keep me on track and letting the rest of the "shoulds" go is a great way to practice the BOTH AND. As you read though November News grab 2-3 anchors to support you to move through the holidays with EASE and JOY.
Speaking of the holidays, Tis the season....... with family/friend gatherings, sugar, disrupted routines and stress—can take a toll on our immune systems a bit more than at other times of year!
So I’ve gathered some of my top tips for immune support as well as some health news and insights to keep you motivated and feeling your best this time of year.
Be kind, take care of each other,
~Lynn 🌈

Journaling

Keep it Simple!
Practicing gratitude mostly takes intention and consistency.

Hidden Threats to Immune Health
|
People love to pop their vitamin C this time of year, but that will do very little good if your immune system is being squashed by other forces.

It’s tempting to look for a miracle pill to keep us healthy, but the truth is that our bodies are complex beings that respond to cues from everywhere.
The best thing you can do to support your immunity right now?
Look for the weakest link in your health and your habits, and begin with that.
