“The body must be nourished, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We are spiritually starved in this culture—not underfed but undernourished.”
– Carol Hornig
Week 10 let’s stick to a consistent sleep schedule, aiming for 7-9 hours of rest, while creating a cozy sleep environment. Incorporate light therapy or natural sunlight exposure if needed to regulate sleep patterns and improve the mood. Try new wellness routines like laughter yoga or playful dance classes to bring joy into daily life. Enjoy seasonal, nutrient-rich foods like hearty soups and vibrant citrus fruits. Balancing these traditional and modern approaches helps maintain mental and physical wellness, fostering a sense of peace and playful energy throughout the season. Let’s spend time with our friends and loved ones doing things we enjoy. Think about taking a vacation if you can. Stay joyful and well.
Enjoy and Be Thankful Each Day
