This past week, I couldn’t help but notice many things in my world were intersecting with similar messages. I received an email from my health insurance company with a suggested Schedule for Daily Resilience, saw a Health Magazine link to a Pinterest post entitled 7 Ways to Practice Self-love and picked up the most recent issue of Prevention Magazine (The “Medical Journal of the People” founded in 1950) entitled Find Your Calm with 60+ simple ideas to feel happy every day. I’m also reading Thich Nhat Hanh’s book Happiness and auditing an online course out of Yale on the Science of Wellbeing. So I might be exploring similar things from different sources…
When things intersect in that way, it prompts me to share with my readers.
There’s also a lot of other information out there clamoring for our attention. I don’t need to list the distractions and disruptions that we are all experiencing.

Further discussion / content include benefits of meditation, gentle stretching and the power of positivity.
You may find some of the information online, but I felt that the entire magazine was worth purchasing as a resource.
