Is
to provide an online resource for CNY community members
to easily access information about local health and
wellness services and organizations, as well as to learn
about how to make
lifestyle changes.
We
define wellness as a way of life. It's about living in the
world as a conscious spirit and being committed to
a life of balance, purpose, passion and health.
An old Indian saying goes, "If you want to see what your
thoughts were like yesterday, look at your body today. If
you want to see what your body will be like tomorrow, look
at your thoughts today." — Deepak Chopra, M.D.
Springis Here!
We are beginning to enjoy warmer temperatures, brighter
skies, the sight of green grass, and longer days. There's
nothing better than the turn of Spring. With that in
mind, Spring is the time when we slowly come out of
our winter shells. Little by little, we begin to peal
off the layers of winter, physically and spiritually.
Winter is our time of hibernation and reflection. Spring
is our time to bud, and the question is: How can we
transition healthfully from Winter into Spring?
1).
Begin to spend time outdoors. Take walks at lunch, after dinner,
before work.
2).
Refuel your spirit... read an inspiring book, take a new class,
join a club, go dancing... do what you need to do to
feel connected and alive.
3).
Make small, slow changes in your foods — from heartier
meals and larger portions to lighter dishes, fresher vegetables
and smaller portions.
4).
Make a list of some of your life goals, or revisit the one
you've already created. Choose one goal, focus on it, make
a plan, and commit to its success.
5).
Find grace, peace and strength to let go of any emotional
stress you've been carrying around. It's time to lighten
ourselves up and move forward.
