Ways Mindfulness Practices Can Help Your Health and Life

This months blurb is almost tardy but I will get it out just under the wire 🙂

Mindfulness is a term used commonly in conversation.
What is it?
It is simply the idea of being present in each moment, bringing the mind into focus to still the busy and tense thoughts we all have.
How can this be done?
Humans tend to complicate things, but mindfulness can be as easy as walking out doors and noticing the blades of grass, smelling the scents in the air, listening to the sounds around you and simply being in that moment without your thoughts drifting back to the daily tasks of life. Many people choose to sit and meditate, some use music, some gaze at the flame of a candle, some use a mantra and all of those methods are beneficial to stilling the pace of thoughts. No method is superior to another one, you must choose the one that works for you.
How can this help me in my life and health?
A conscious walk can show you so much that you can overlook if you are in your head sending out thoughts of appreciation as you walk or meditate can be an amazing tool for a healthy and happy outlook as it creates those neurochemicals in the brain that help with peace and happiness.
Mindfulness can slow the thoughts down at bedtime to assist with sleep quality and bring the brain to a deeper level of sleep than without. Studies have been done that clearly show our brains cleans toxins during the night and if the quality of sleep is not deep enough or long enough then this task is not performed as well as it should be, leaving us irritable and not clear headed on rising in the morning.
A mindfulness practice can assist in the individual being able to better cope with life stressors and challenges as it helps to foster a healthier self outlook as well as boosts the immune response. Stress creates higher levels of inflammatory cells in the body and sense messages of “ danger or flight” to the brain which can lead to frequent illness and less ability to bounce back after illness or trauma.
Being mindful can teach us how to slow down in our communications with others to promote a stronger social network as we learn to be active listeners and not jump in while others are speaking. Too many times we are set to solve a problem when we really just need to listen. By quieting the brain daily this skill becomes second nature.
By reducing stress hormones, increasing immunity, promoting better health and sleep as well as assisting out general relationships and outlook, mindfulness is a simple tool to add into our daily routine that enhances our lives in so many ways.
I am happy to answer any questions about this article. Views are my own.
Yours in health.

Every patient of mine is a special patient and their families are important.
Sometimes in families, I’ve treated three or four generations believe it or not.😇
This Christmas season as patients bring things into the practice, I will post the things that are handmade or that have a special meaning.
One of my patients made me this beautiful cutting board. She is so talented and I’m so grateful for her kindness with this gift.
Another one of my patients ?
She said to me
“I feel like sometimes you need a new bowl every year. A new bowl for noodles and soup and things”.
I’m ready for new things and a new bowl and I appreciate this kindness and this amazing gesture.
And inside?
Date squares!
I haven’t had the courage to try and make them since my mom died in 2017 and these are so beautiful and they are so appreciated. And then underneath them? Nuts?
Pistachios
a foundation of the Earth as a symbolism.
Good grief 😳💕
When I wake up every morning, and I give gratitude for being able to practice and to have the ability to help in anyway that I can it’s from my heart.
To receive these wonderful things from other people’s hearts is so incredibly humbling.
Thank you so much❤️
Merry Christmas, and if you don’t celebrate Christmas, blessings to you and your families for health and happiness and let’s see what 2026 brings . ❤️

Yesterday I had a new client who is 24 years old ask me why I didn’t have online booking.
She said a lot of younger people would be more tempted to book online versus calling me.
My reply was this :
When I was using an online booking system at the other clinic where I worked for a short while in addition to mine,  the clients didn’t have to reach out to me directly either to book or to cancel. Consequently, I would have bookings that would just disappear without an opportunity to fill them or have a waitlist for appointments.
I then said to the client —-
When you called me, you called me on a Sunday, correct?
She said yes.
I said, I answered the phone, answered all of your questions personally and directly. I booked you in. You heard my voice. You got to ask me about your care, and about my treatment without assumption.
How did that make you feel?

And she said I loved it. I loved it that you answered the phone on your day off. I loved that you cared enough to take the time to speak with me.

And I said to her, that’s how I run my practice.
You can have a business or you can have a practice. And my focus is personal care,investing in my clients, their families, and caring enough to pick up the phone when they call.
You don’t get that from an online app and that’s what sets me aside from other practitioners.
She suggested that I explain this on my page for other people to share that information to encourage people.
So? After 29 years, here’s my explanation.

And no. I will not be doing online booking.
I would rather be that lone practitioner that still goes out of their way even on a day off, even on holiday in Europe, or simply anytime to make sure that your needs are met. I will come in for emergency appointments on my days off. And yes, I will respond to you when I’m on holiday to book your appointments in for when I come back.
Because what I do is who I am. It’s not just a job.
