Reading oldie but a goodie book by trauma expert Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk & this thought provoking quote comes up reminding us to honor all of the various feelings that come up in our day & also to be mindful to not get carried away by them.

Great inspo to start the week / new month from ✨. You don’t have to have the whole thing figured out & you might be a little or a lot nervous or scared…it’s ok…take a deep breath & take one action step forward. It doesn’t have to be pretty or perfect…progress over perfection every single day 🙌.

Great suggestion! A nice walk can help you strengthen your wellness mentally, physically, socially, emotionally. Put on a cozy sweater & grab the dog & get outside for some fresh air & take a short walk & enjoy the beautiful changing colorful leaves & feel the wellness & self care vibes 🍁💪🏼✨

How many steps should you aim for each day? ✨

A review of 57 studies shows ~7,000 steps/day = major health benefits:
🔹 Risk of death decreases nearly 50%
🔹 Lower risk of heart disease, dementia, depression, and diabetes
🔹 Even cancer & falls showed improvement

The old “10,000 steps” goal is great, but 7,000 is realistic and impactful!

Ready to start moving? Small steps really do add up. Check out this infographic for more! https://bit.ly/41JfeMx
