Read C. Clinton Sidle’s take on what he calls ‘the hungry spirit’ - that pervasive energy that is constantly longing for success, freedom, love, or whatever it is we require to find our place in the world - and how it distorts our perception of our experiences. Read the full article on page 22 of Embody magazine and break out of the cocoon made of our projections, imaginations, hopes, and fears that makes possibilities much smaller than they truly are. 💚

Engaging in an act of kindness can be simple but it may also feel a little scary (it does involve other people, after all). Random Acts of Kindness Day could be the 'excuse' you need to get that positive ripple effect going - acts of kindness inspire further acts of kindness. Not to mention the health (physical and mental) benefits for both parties! 💚

Some ideas:
Donate used blankets or towels to an animal shelter.
Share a favourite memory with a loved one.
Sign up to be an organ donor.
Ship a care package to someone away from family and friends.
Leave a friendly comment below with ideas of your own! 😉

The type of food we put into our bodies have an undeniable impact on our health - either for good, or for bad. When you feel overwhelmed with the information-overload from the wellness industry, just go back to basics: unprocessed, fresh food, cutting out alcohol and sugar. Build from there! 💚
