"Researchers found that people who practiced these activities regularly had fewer signs of inflammation, including a decrease in their production of inflammatory proteins. This signals “the reversal of the molecular signature of the effects of chronic stress,” they wrote, which may translate to a reduced risk of inflammation-related diseases and conditions." wowza!

The benefits could translate to less inflammation and a lower risk of disease.

TED talks aren't for everyone, but I sure dig them. Humans helping humans. Here are a few that you may like! I'm listening while I clean my home today 👂💓

Many of us are lured by the promise of self-improvement, but find it hard to follow through.

so my birthday is about a month and a half away. I am looking forward to being 33! Here is what I have in mind:

*For the month leading up to my birthday, I will be consciously focusing on instilling wellness practices into my daily actions. I will be meditating, reading, writing, eating, and moving with intention every day. working for these things to become second nature to me. I will also be avoiding alcohol for purity of my own spirit. I'm diving in on Monday 6/26 - please join me if you could use a reset in your life too.

*I am doing my first hut trip! It is a 7 mile high-altitude hike in along the Colorado Trail, carrying in all of our supplies and food, and staying overnight! I will wake up in a cabin on the morning of my 33rd birthday to a fresh breakfast that we packed in on our backs

sometimes we struggle to find time for things that are good for us, like meditation. One way I've been able to ease the struggle is to fit the meditation in to such mundane activities as cleaning my home, weeding my gardens, walking my dog, things like that. I prefer to wash my dishes by hand because it cleans my mind too, giving me time to just exist, letting thoughts float in and float out, continuing on their way. This morning I look at my pruned fingers and thank myself for knocking out two birds with one stone to start the day 🐦

Show of hands ✋👋 for those who make time for Personal Development

"uh what the hell is that?" Is this you? I'm soooo glad you asked (:

Personal Development is simple: time spent on you. Reading materials that encourage and inspire you to strive for your greatness, meditating and praying and deepening your spirit, watching content and listening to podcasts that rev your engine - developing yourself as a person. Do you do it?

I have been taking time to do this again, and it's showing. I'm happy to make recommendations for personal development if you are ready to do something good for yourself! Comment or message me 💓 for my favorite resources

today I'll be reading The Go-Giver out in the sunshine! 🌞
