The winter season is upon us,
and where I live the snow is falling and the blanket of white has arrived.
I love winter,
and for some reason it brings upon me
a feeling of quiet and peacefullness.
Although you may have an entirely differant experience, such as anxiety and stress, as many of you travel long distances to and from work, I understand snow is not always fun and games.
( I used to commute 2 hours to work too….really, I get it)
To-day I am nere to remind you to slow down for a moment, and become aware, and notice Mother Nature’s message to you.
Winter is a time of rest,
slowing down,
and for many,
heading south to warmer temperatures,
like many breeds of birds do,
and many seniors too!
(we call these seniors “snowbirds”).
For those of us who do not “fly south for the winter”, looking out your window you will see less activity.
There are less birds,
the bears are hibernating,
the trees are dormant,
and there is a “stillness” in the air.
One way to REDUCE THE STRESS AND ANXIETY of these Winter Wonderland days, is to slow down too.
Sometimes that may require re-thinking your many invitations and plans to travel here and there for one party or another, and instead, check inside and ask yourself and ask, “what do I really want or need”?
Is it rest, or more driving?
The word “NO” is sometimes difficult to say, and yet, sometimes it brings the peace and rest required during this winter season.
If you are used to being busy,
sitting still can be difficult,
so below I have some Healthy Movie suggestions for you.
Mix them in with your other seasonal movies, and inspire yourself on how you can Reclaim Your Health, Naturally.
A few movies you may want to watch are:
1. Sicko – found in your local video store.
2. Food Inc. – also found in your local video store.
These movies may not be suitable for very young children, check the movie ratings, and use your discretion.)
3. Pay it forward - at your local video store.
Two of these 3 movies are excellant in demonstrating what we “have not” been told,
and gives us clarity as to why your health seems to be deteriorating faster than you can acquire the knowledge on how to Reclaim It!
It also increases our awareness into how we can make better choices once we understand what has been happening to our food supply.
Winter is a great time to gather together and watch movies,
stay warm and relax.
As always, I would love to hear your comments on these movies,
or any other health comments you want to share.
Have a peaceful, joyful Christmas and Winter Solstice Holiday Season..
Inspiring Vibrant Health, Naturally.
