It's easy to read this list & either think you don't need to practice any of these habits & everything's fine- or to see it & get overwhelmed. We hope that you can pick 1 or 2 habits to implement to have a more intentional & health-minded holiday for yourself & your !

We are deeply, deeply disappointed in the federal appeals court's decision to remove the ban on Conversion Therapy. Conversion Therapy has been proven to not only be WHOLLY ineffective, but in many, many cases has caused significant harm and trauma to those who go through this "treatment".

We at The Well Being are now considering using rattlesnake bites to treat depression and anxiety. Because, hey...looks like we have a first amendment right to do so. Science be damned.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday blocked Michigan's ban on conversion therapy for minors who are LGBTQ+, declaring it violates the First Amendment rights of therapists and counselors. Read the full story through the link in the comments.

Sleigh your workout today 🎄💪 if you are looking for a more specific, intentional, goal-oriented workout- look into seeing one of our personal trainers (we provide funding for this as well!)- but, if you just need a 15 minute at home workout so that you can think more clearly, have more energy, feel more productive, & give back to yourself- a simple workout like this will do! Save this for later!

Oftentimes, the holidays are not the picture perfect Hallmark-version. Instead, they might be described as chaotic, unhealthy, & stressful. What we would love for you is to take time & figure out what you need the most during the holidays- whether that is knowing you can escape & take a few deep breaths, go on a mental health walk, invite the family to do an at home workout together, etc. Whatever it looks like, we want your holidays to feel a bit more in control, a bit more intentional, & a bit more like how you want them to feel.

We'd rather you walk 15 minutes a day, or do a 7 minute body workout daily then do a strenuous, 1 hour workout that you complete once a week. For starters, injuries can easily happen, but, more than that, it teaches you that fitness is something you have to do perfectly & with max effort 100% of the time. That doesn't sound fun. Plus- nothing in life is that way- why do we view fitness that way?! We would rather you learn to ENJOY fitness & do it slowly & consistently- learning how to gently take on more as you go. For your body. For your mind. For your wellbeing. 🔑

How come you don't judge other people for therapy, but you judge yourself? It's time to give yourself some grace & get the help you need.

It's hard sometimes to not look around & compare, but maybe therapy is what YOU need for your quality of life & your functioning- regardless of if you know someone who has done it before.

It's Wednesday! The middle of the week & usually the time we've convinced ourselves we're too busy or since we didn't start the week the movement the whole week is scratched. We're here to remind you the truth! Our bodies are stronger than we think- and so are our minds. Don't let them hold you back today- and take even 10 minutes for your mental & physical health today!
