Forest bathing...

Feeling stressed? A walk among the trees might help more than you think. 🌳

New UF research shows that spending time in tree-filled spaces like parks or shaded streets can significantly reduce stress, especially when people actively get outside rather than just seeing greenery from a distance. The findings highlight the importance of accessible green spaces and making time to regularly engage with nature.

Email from Mindful Motion Yoga As the year draws to a close, let's pause, to acknowledge what we’ve carried, what we’ve learned, and what we’re ready to set down. Rather than rushing into resolutions

In the rush of life, we often overlook the simple blessings that make our days brighter and our hearts lighter. True happiness is not found in having everything, but in appreciating what we already have.

✨ Things to be truly grateful for:
🌳 Nature – the trees, the sky, the air we breathe.
🛏 A warm bed – comfort at the end of each day.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Loving family – the people who stand by us through it all.
💪 A healthy body – the greatest wealth we can own.
🍲 Plenty of food – nourishment that fuels our lives.
☕ Morning coffee – little joys that start our day right.
🏡 A roof over my head – safety and shelter we often take for granted.
🤝 Friends around me – bonds that make life meaningful.
📈 How far I have come – every step forward, every lesson learned.
❤️ Kindness of strangers – proof that humanity still shines.

Gratitude shifts our perspective.
It reminds us that no matter what we lack, we are still abundantly blessed.

🙏 Start and end each day with gratitude — it is the key to peace, joy, and a fulfilled life
