Wellness on the Move

As this year comes to an end,
we pause—not to count achievements,
but to remember humanity.

This prayer carries the weight of every silent struggle,
every unseen tear,
every heart that kept going despite being tired.

May healing reach the broken.
May strength return to the sick.
May hope find those lost in despair.
May the lonely feel warmth and belonging.
May hunger be answered with compassion.

And may we remember that peace in the world
begins with the kindness we choose each day. 🙏

Some interesting info if you are one of many who suffer with frozen shoulder

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DQ8BtfYLQ/

“Frozen shoulder” is a real condition causing stiffness and difficulty in raising the arm. It mostly affects women, striking peri- or post-menopausal women more commonly than anyone else. The painful affliction can last for years—but has long been ignored by medical researchers who doubted its existence. New treatments may finally promise a cure.

A flower fills the space with its fragrance, a candle with its light.
They do nothing, however, they can change everything with their presence.

Sunlight and time outdoors can powerfully impact your overall well-being. Circadian rhythms are a natural pattern of mental, physical, and behavioral changes that the body undergoes in 24-hour intervals. In essence, it’s your body’s internal clock that dictates your daily sleep-wake periods. The sun’s light/dark cycle has been proven to have favorable effects on the circadian clock, mood, alertness, and sleep quality (according to the CDC).

Our circadian clock’s natural response to light is staying awake, and its response to darkness is going to sleep. The CDC recommends maximizing light exposure in the daytime to increase your alertness. That’s what makes outdoor activities the perfect start to one’s morning. They get your blood pumping, oxygen flowing, and energy going early in the day. To sleep better at night, you should shut off all sources of light, including cell phones, TVs, tablets, and digital clock radios in your bedroom or place of rest.

‘When life breaks you, it is because you are ready to be put back together differently.

Every piece of you that feels shattered is a piece that will find a new place, a new purpose, a new meaning.

Trust that the cracks are where the light gets in. And sometimes, in our brokenness, we find our greatest wholeness.

We find the courage to rebuild, to reimagine, to redefine what it means to be strong.

You are not broken; you are breaking through.’

Music literally hits the brain’s reward system. It releases dopamine, the same feel-good chemical triggered by food, s*x, and money. Brain scans show that right before and during the most emotional moments in a song, the nucleus accumbens and caudate - core parts of the brain’s reward network - light up. These regions handle both anticipation and pleasure, and they respond even more strongly when a song gives you goosebumps.

EEG studies also reveal bursts of activity in emotional centers like the orbitofrontal cortex and right temporal lobe during frisson, that spine-tingling rush you get from powerful music.

This is why music can lift your mood, reduce stress, and even rewire your brain over time. It’s not just sound, it’s your brain’s built-in way of regulating emotion.
