Fundamental Focus: SLEEP

“A healthy sleep pattern (called “sleep hygiene”) is another key to successful weight management...Inadequate sleep has been identified as one contributing factor in weight gain...techniques that can help: avoiding evening caffeine, exercising earlier in the day...creating a peaceful bedroom environment that is quiet, not too bright, and comfortable." -ASMBS (American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery)

Keep your brain from sorting information for long-term memory

Fresh Start Focus: CALM & STILLNESS

"I realized anxiety was not something I was experiencing, it was something I was living - anxiety had become a lifestyle. When we're anxious all the time, and we don't balance that with some calm and stillness in our lives, that's when anxiety becomes a lifestyle." ~Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW

A calm practice can open our hearts, and open our minds, and free us up for some clarity and some refueling. And if you're starting to think "this sounds a little WOO-HOO, HOKEY-POKEY for me" I want you to remember the chaotic, stressful times you've had in your home life or in your office...and what it would mean for all of us...if we could bring that calm with us (to the situation.)" -Brené Brown
