Laughter is good medicine.  What makes you laugh?  Is it a funny movie, a funny book, watching the monkeys at the zoo, people-watching, a great friend or a good comedian?  Find an opportunity or two this week to laugh more than you normally do.

Tis the Giving Season

Want to Conquer the Holidays this Year?

The holiday season is ripe with opportunities to give back.  Consider a donation to a food bank, an adopt-a-family program, volunteering, sponsoring a child, helping out a neighbor in need–the list goes on and on.  Giving is not only good for the receiver; it also has health benefits for the giver.

Want to Conquer the Holidays this Year?

Resist the temptation to slack on your exercise during the cold months. Explore new fitness options in your area. You can research online, look for community education classes, stop by a program or try out a class. If you are too busy to try something new now, plan to start at the beginning of next month. Your body thrives on diverse activity.
