Am I the only one that's feeling like summer is moving way too quickly? There's so much that I have to do, and want to do, and so little time!

Here are 8 helpful habits that have helped me to balance out everything I've got going on, avoid burnout, and reconnect with wellness:

+ Good Sleep: Consistent rest supports brain health and cognitive function, improves mood, strengthens immune system and regulates hormones, reduces inflammation, and helps our bodies recover from injury and exertion

+ Self-Reflection & Redirection: From time to time, taking an internal inventory of where we are, what we have, what we want, and the gaps in between can show us where to increase and advance our efforts and where to pull back and set boundaries

+ Connect with Friends: Be with whoever makes you feel happy; have fun, share ideas, explore things, and enjoy a sense of belonging and community

+ Explore a Curiosity: Learn something new, increase cognitive flexibility and creativity, enhance problem-solving skills and advance emotional intelligence; versatility helps us adapt and also makes us more interesting!

+ Advance Your Career: Don't settle, make sure you are earning what your skills are worth. Go higher, work broader, refine your niche, or rebrand - whatever you want to do, do it

+ Enhance Home Decor: I'll be the first to admit it, all the home decor posts on Instagram inspired me to grow more plants and order things from Amazon to make my bathrooms look more like the hotel bathrooms do. Small changes go a long way!

+ Make a Financial Plan: This is one is very related to all of the above; the income needs to be more than the spending, and it's also important to plan ahead for those "financial buckets": basic needs, emergency funds, life activities, health and property funds, creating growth - all for present and future quality of life. If this one resonates with you, put a gold star on this one and put it on your to-do list today.

+ Believe That Good Things Await You: Work hard and have faith- in yourself, and that the universe will help you.

+ The importance of regular medical checkups and screenings

Studies show an interrelationship between individual health and couple health, and couple health and individual health.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Looking for ways to add some sugar and spice to your Valentine weekend? I've collected some of my favorite ideas. See which of these light your fire.

All it takes is one small step and consistent effort this year, and your future self will thank you for it.

I'm really excited about these 2025 Health and Wellness Trends!
Accessibility to tech, social group connections, and health information makes it so much easier to have more independent agency in creating and maintaining our health and wellness.

Some things I've started on for myself include:
+ Finding and using more of my vegetarian recipes
+ Organic gardening
+ Booking health appointments and screenings
+ Learning more about natural remedies and nutrition essentials for nursing practice

Remember, if anyone in NY, NJ, or CT is looking for a psychotherapist or a health coach (discounted rates!) give me a call at 917-913-6441 or email me at lifespanwellnessmft@gmail.com!

Solo doesn’t have to mean “Alone.”

We’ve heard about solo traveling, like backpacking through Europe, and solo self-care days, celebrated in all kinds of ways. We associate “solo” activities with exploration, adventure, novelty, creativity, openness to people and experiences, and growth.

Have you considered what a “Solo Holiday” experience can do for you?

When you don’t have anywhere to be on the holidays, by fate or by choice, these are five ideas worth exploring:

1: Attend Socials

Community socials- in person or online – are advertised on social media sites and local meetup sites. Some are operating all day long and open to all ages, and large enough events may include food, games, movies, art, music, indoor sports, and contests. Look up what’s available, are you curious enough to go?

2: Take Online Classes- or Enroll for Degree or Vocational Trainings

Boost your education or your job training, or explore personal interests like cooking, crafting, and life-saving CPR and first aid. You never know what could open new avenues for you. Some classes are hybrid, with an online portion and an in-person certification component. Which ones have open enrollment now? Are you ready to level up your life?

3: Video Chat with Friends and Family – or Text, if you want to

Locally, nationally, globally- make time to connect and catch up with friends, classmates, and family. Make it a group chat – you never know how close your next reconnection or new connection may be! It could be in your own neighborhood, or you could score an invite for a destination holiday!

4: Make it a Movie Day, At Home or at the Cinema

Binge watch your favorite series or watch the newest releases. If you go to a theater, call ahead and find out when their busiest showings are expected to be - maybe the matinee - and go to watch the movie with fellow fans in the audience. Laughing in a crowd –and being amazed by an awesome cinematic scene - can be a fun group experience!

5: Volunteer

Connect with well-known and reputable community programs. Tons of volunteer opportunities are listed online. Did you know that volunteers can do a variety of things besides serving food? Activities include clothing and donation collection, toy drives, taking photos, offering social media support, tutoring, coaching, art and play activities, making care packages, making calls, nutrition education, making needed repairs (handy work or sewing), running games, support groups, and more! Do you have a favorite charity, community, or special population that you want to support? These include food pantries, family shelters, schools, people with special needs, domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, deployed military service members, veterans, elder care community centers, first responders, and athletes. What are your favorite things to do, and where can you see yourself doing it?

Stay safe and have fun everyone!

Until next time,

Maria

Hi everyone, I just updated my business cards and thought I’d share. I am LMFT (in NY, NJ, and CT) LMHC, and have a bachelors degree in Nursing. Just completed training from a nationally approved provider in Health Coaching (and I need 50 hrs to sit for the next exam!). Specialty is in health issues, but still work with any clinical issue.

In network with GHI, BCBS, Aetna, Oxford, UHC, commercial plans. Self-pay for couples and health coaching.

Please feel free to keep me in mind!

Thanks!

With increasing wait time for emergency services, your best chance of survival is prevention, and knowing skills for intervention.

The shocking truth: In a life-threatening emergency, the risk for death increases at six minutes.

Skills for Healthy (or Healthier) Living include:

+ Eating a well balanced diet and water as hydration: Learn about "My Plate" to see how it can help you.

+ Exercise: 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week is recommended.

+ Get Good Sleep: this includes getting a full night's rest, and working with your healthcare providers if you have sleep problems.

+ Don't smoke and avoid alcohol: Keep your lungs and liver healthy, to also help to keep all your other organs in good working condition.

+ Learn Stress Management Skills: This includes rest, relaxation, distraction, and effective problem-solving skills. Distractions help us take a break from the problem. Problem-Solving actually deals with the problem.

+ Meet with your healthcare providers on a regular basis, and monitor your health with exams and bloodwork.

+ Learn CPR and First Aid. Did you also know there are free and low costs trainings available in NY?

What wellness activities are you doing to take good care of yourself?

What additional skills would you like to learn?
