Open the Windows...

Today is a perfect day to Open the Windows...

Why you ask? Because there's no better time than the present.

This topic has made me think of deeper meanings, in opening our own windows, or opening up the way we see things.

Yes, I want to add that opening and cleaning our physical windows is also an important

part of our healthy living. Opening Windows allows fresh air to flow, keeping the Chi moving in a harmonious rhythm. Healthy flow is crucial for a happy and healthy life, and we all want that right?

In Cleaning the windows, we are creating a clear and organized space, allowing fresh light, clarity and creativity to come in. When fresh natural light comes into our homes, we feel energized, refreshed and inspired. Light is a natural motivator, that's why we're more productive in the mornings.

Try my Natural Household Cleaner recipe, no harmful chemicals, natural ingredients and smells amazing!

Ok, but coming back to Inner Windows... William Shakespeare once said our "Eyes are the windows to your soul"

What do you think about that quote? I believe the eyes have deep meaning, deep language and deep messages. If the Eyes are the Windows, it's a good idea to take note as to what our Eyes may say.

I appreciate this topic as it also reminds me of many ways to think of Windows., I first think of Creativity... (no surprise) as windows of opportunities are always available to us.

In closing, Opening Windows means exactly that.... opening opportunities within yourself for growth, for learning, for wisdom. Everyday is a window, an opportunity to Be Kind, to live happy and healthy and to be the very best version of YOU.

Quote of the day...

"What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes."

Soak up a little Sun!

Sunny days are coming... Let's soak up a little Sun now!

Why is it important to get a little sun?

According to WebMD...Sunlight helps boost a chemical in your brain called serotonin, and that can give you more energy and help keep you calm, positive, and focused. Doctors sometimes treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and other types of depression linked to low levels of serotonin with natural or artificial light.

Getting a little sun, has great benefits! For starters, it STRENGTHENS the IMMUNE SYSTEM.

Vitamin D is crucial for a healthy body and A healthy immune system can help reduce the risk of illness, infections, some cancers.

Getting out in the sun for at least 30 minutes somewhere between 8 a.m. and 12pm, has shown to be linked to WEIGHT LOSS. Plus being outside motivates and inspires new movement, new energy, new beginnings.

Getting some beautiful Sunshine regulates your circadian rhythm. It works by communicating with your body as to when to increase and decrease your melatonin levels. So, the more sunlight exposure you get, you'll improve your levels of melatonin and this will IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP.

Bottom line, getting out in the Sun, helps keep our bodies HAPPY AND HEALTHY and everyone wants a piece of that cake!

So, go take a walk, go feel the morning. Get out and get your daily dose of vitamin D and know that you are doing WONDERFUL THINGS FOR YOUR BODY.

Start a Morning Mantra

Why start a Morning Mantra? A mantra is a word, a short sentence or sound meant to be repeated silently in order to enhance concentration in meditation. ... Morning mantras set a positive intention for where your focus and energy should be, empowering you to maintain that mindset throughout the day.

According to Thrive Global, "mantras can be effective even if people don’t regularly meditate. The research found that when someone repeats a mantra, it causes a major shift in their brain activity — specifically in the part responsible for internal evaluation, rumination, and mind-wandering. When researchers compared results between participants in a resting state who used a mantra against those that didn’t, the ones utilizing the mantra reached a more advanced state of psychological calm." (www.ThriveGlobal.com)

Mantras help start your day and keep focused on good energy. It is loving words or a phrase that connects with you and helps energize or ease your day. It may be encouraging words to inspire you to the next step. Mantras are simply wonderful! and starting a morning mantra may be exactly what you need to help your morning!

Below are some examples of Mantras, try repeating these Mantras during your morning routine and throughout your day. Also try creating a Mantra or a collection of custom Mantras that work for you.

"It is what it is, and all is well"

"Everything is always working out for me.

“Happiness is a choice, not a condition. I choose to be happy.”

“Everything happens right on schedule.”
