Hello ,
“Our life is the sum of our choices.” Albert Camus
TRUTH!
Each of us brings a different set of experiences, life and health events to each moment. The power in choice is profound! Keep things light, all choices are information, even the "bad" choices provide opportunity! The choice to course correct or pivot is ALL WAYS available to us!
Speaking of choices.....
"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak" ~ Hans Hofmann
Where can you simplify?
What are you doing that is unnecessary?
Taking inventory of your "doing" is an important piece of healing AND thriving. Cognitive load (relates to the amount of information that working memory can hold at one time) is REAL. All the things you are carrying in your memory take up space.
Examples:
to do's for work
Send the sympathy card to friend
feed the pets
partners birthday coming up
pay bills
order supplements
meal plan
making decisions
travel plans
call a friend
return a text/email
what workout should I do
what is for dinner
on and on.......
Where can you add systems to automate and reduce the load?
What can you delegate?
How can you reduce the load you are carrying?
Be ruthless with releasing the unnecessary!
Create S P A C E !
Be kind, take care of each other,
~Lynn 🌈

Blood Pressure in Couples is Linked
|
A recent study in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that if your partner has high blood pressure, you are more likely to have it too.
Surprising, yet really not so! Who we spend our time with has everything to do with our lifestyle choices and how we feel; joy or apathy, scarcity or abundance, connection or disconnection, calm or anxious….. The list goes on! There are some studies indicating we share a similar gut microbiome with those we live with. Surround yourself with humans that lift and light you up! It’s a choice.
Heart disease is the #1 cause of death for men, women, and most racial and ethnic groups in the US, and blood pressure is one of the biggest risk factors.
February invitation: commit to some heart-healthy activities with the people closest to us in our lives.

Better Vagal Tone Means Better Health
|
The vagus nerve is the main nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system (the part of our nervous system that helps us “rest and digest”). It wanders from the brain to all the organs, branching off with thousands of nerve fibers.
What’s really cool is the vagus nerve communicates in both directions—both to and from the brain!
We refer to the activity of the vagus nerve as “vagal tone,” which is linked with heart health, metabolic health, mood, digestion, healthy aging, and more.
Follow me on Instagram for this month’s series on vagal tone—including simple exercises and nutrients for support.
