This was a very helpful way to start the day. If you don’t have Insight Timer- I recommend downloading it. There are many free offerings without the paid subscription, including this one!

Only 9 minutes and recommend even if it’s not morning when you see this! It will bring you back to this moment. 💗

If you are like me, you LOVE that first picture and… it makes you sneeze! And makes your eyes itch! And ultimately makes your sinuses hurt. Which is why we need that second picture. This Chinese herbal formula is my life saver this time of year for seasonal allergies and congestion and doesn’t make me either hyper or groggy as many allergy meds do.
Years of acupuncture have actually decreased my allergy symptoms quite a bit. But the herbs really help when the season still manages to overcome my immune system. If your allergies are acting up- acupuncture and herbs can make your life SO much better!

Something in the office that makes me smile. I love fall and I love that random silly mushroom (Home Goods find). What small thing can you stop and notice today?

My two joy images this morning. The beauty of autumn leaves, which for me is a reminder to be right here in this moment (no borrowing snowy dread from the future!). And that soccer ball in my yard- makes me think of my boy (and also my ball chasing pup) and how I will have his amazing self at home this weekend!

I posted this weekend about the increase in stress and anxiety I am seeing here at the clinic (and also outside of the clinic).
I’ve decided to make it a point to put out some posts each week sharing something of beauty, peace, love or laughter. We do all have access to those things each day. And it’s so easy to overlook them, to get wrapped up and frozen in the angst. This is for myself as well!
So here is a joy/gratitude moment from my weekend. A moment I took to just sit in the beautiful sunshine and appreciate my favorite hydrangea bush in my yard and learn a thing or two from my pup who LOVES to lie around in her yard and soak it in.
Share a some words or a photo that brings you some joy?

These are stressful times. Overall I’ve noticed a steep increase in patients’ stress and anxiety levels. Acupuncture (among other things) is proven to be helpful in balancing the nervous system and leaving us better equipped to handle stress with more resilience and less illness and injury.
I’m grateful to do this work and to have access to this medicine.

This one is for all of you who ask me if I can treat myself. Not ideal for full effects, but when you might have done something not quite right in your workout yesterday and you have a free 15 minutes at work… a quick self treatment can (and did) work wonders!

What is ONE thing you can do today to support your health in 5 minutes or less?
Ideas:
1. Walk for 5 min after a meal. Can be inside or outside.
2. Take 1-2 minutes in your day to stop. Feel your feet on the floor. Breathe in through your nose, fill your belly with air. Breathe out slowly through your mouth. Repeat.
3. Eat a bright colored fruit or vegetable!
4. Stop and look around you. Notice something beautiful.

Tell me your one thing today. Doesn’t have to be one of those!
