To stick with those habits long enough to see results you’ll need the right tools. I’m excited to say that our new course, “Unshakable Habits,” gives you the tools to make your habits stick – even when life gets crazy.

Whether or not you’ve taken time to rest, reflect and envision what you want for 2023, it’s a good idea to meditate to clear any anxious energy or stress from the recent holiday happenings. Here’s a brief, 1-minute meditation that even non-meditators can do:

  1. Find a quiet spot to sit or lie down.
  2. Close your eyes or use a soft downward gaze
  3. Take a few deep breaths, letting go of tension or stress
  4. Imagine a bright, warm light glowing in your chest- this is the light of your own inner wisdom and goodness.
  5. Allow this light to spread throughout your body, filling you with warmth and peace.

You may now feel calmer, more grounded, and centered with a deeper sense of well-being. Simply breathe into whatever sensation you notice.

Now consider: What do I want to do or do more frequently in the year ahead? How do I want to feel or feel more frequently in 2023?

Are some of these actions what you want to do?

  • Take better care of my body?
  • Set aside more time for self-care.
  • Develop a more loving relationship with myself or my friend/family.
  • Schedule more time for FUN and PLAY.
  • Integrate the teachings of homeopathy, ayurveda, and yoga, more consistently in my life.

If so, I think our “Unshakable Habits” course is made for YOU!

If you want to feel more contentment and control over how you live your life and inject more life into your years, please plan to join the information session scheduled for Feb. 16th. (Intentionally close to Valentine’s Day.) Our February Newsletter will list details, and our “3rd Thursday Blog Post” will include a link for this free info session.

In the meantime, think of your heart opening anew each day like a Lotus flower. And, as Thich Hat Nan tells us, “No mud, no Lotus!” Life requires us to live with some dark challenges, yet each day provides new light.

Our goal at Vibrant Aging for Life and The Yoga Groove, is to arm you with the right tools and steadfast support to live life well…even when life gets crazy…it’s a choice!

Year-ends always present an opportunity to reflect on the challenges, the wins, and all the meaningful moments in between. So, I figured that for the first bi-monthly blog of the year, we should do just that.

Let’s start with a brief recap from me.

In the last quarter of 2021, at a meeting with Marketing Manager, Donna Amos, we discussed a big idea I wanted to take on: the Vibrant Aging for Life online school. I had a vision to reach more people even those who preferred to learn from home– but Donna understood the reality of what was necessary to build a new structure (albeit virtual) from the ground up. She recommended we create awareness through a weekly blog. I resisted- like a child being dragged to the dentist! “Nobody wants more emails,” I protested. “But your followers want to hear from you,” she replied.

I then created 6 blog posts from Oct. through Dec. with no consistency as to timing, nor subject matter. Haphazard, at best. The result? Very few replies from readers and a few unsubscribes with every Mailchimp blast. I now realize after much reflection and honest feedback that I did not want to be promoting to you or sending you any “calls to action.” I was uncomfortable restating what had already been included in our monthly newsletter.

So here’s my promise to you as we enter 2023. My bi-monthly blog will be solely about providing value to you without any marketing materials or product pushes. A simple, content-driven email on the first & third Thursday every month to help you know about insights for installing healthy habits to keep you on track for vibrant aging.

These posts will not be perfect, but I will try to consistently focuse on information to benefit you. If you find some value in what you read, please let me know. Also, let me know topics of special interest to you. Serving you better is my goal and if you’ve subscribed to my newsletter and you are reading this; I am truly grateful. Thanks for your support and for sticking around. It means a lot and YOU mean a lot to our world. Let’s kick-off 2023 by creating one new habit. Mine is writing two blog posts each month. What’s yours?

“Live Life WELL…It’s a Choice!”
