Sleep isn’t just a pause; it’s a vital part of self-care. And with a calming nightly routine, you might find that it changes more than just your night – it can change your life.

So tonight, as you settle in, turn off your devices, clear away any unnecessary noise, and create a calm space that invites peace. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and let yourself drift, like waves rolling gently to shore. Allow this quiet transition to refresh your mind, body, and spirit, so you can wake up feeling ready for whatever tomorrow holds. You’ll be glad you did.

It helps to remember there’s a direct connection between what we eat and how active we are. If you’re not moving around much, your body doesn’t need as much food for fuel. Makes sense, right? So, a great first step is just being mindful of how much you’re eating when you’re not very active. Maybe you can skip that second helping or choose a smaller portion—it’s not about depriving yourself, just making small adjustments.

And as often as you can, try adding more movement to your day. A short walk, stretching session, or even a stroll through your home a few times a day can make a difference. Just take it one step at a time, literally and figuratively.

The best part? You’ll start noticing changes—not just in how you look, but in how you feel. So, why not give it a shot? Start small, stay consistent, and see where it takes you.

What’s one small change you can make today?

Have you ever noticed how kindness seems to have its own way of circling back to you? Some call it “Karma,” others say it’s “reaping what you sow.” Whatever term you’re accustomed to, the truth is that good actions—just like bad ones—have a ripple effect. And here’s the amazing part: when you choose to be kind, you’re not just benefiting someone else; you’re also pouring goodness into your own life.

Think about it—how do you feel after helping someone? Maybe you held a door open, offered a listening ear, or gave a genuine compliment. Remember that undeniable lift, or that sense of joy that warmed your heart? That’s because kindness creates a positive energy that impacts both the giver and the receiver.

Now, I get it. Sometimes it feels like our kindness goes unnoticed or unappreciated, and that can be discouraging. But here’s the thing: even if the person you help doesn’t return the favor, life has a way of balancing the scales. Your good deeds may come back to you through an unexpected opportunity, a random act of generosity, or even just the peace of knowing you’ve made someone’s day a little brighter.

And let’s not forget the long-term benefits. Kindness strengthens relationships, reduces stress, and even improves your health. Science backs this up! Acts of kindness release feel-good chemicals in your brain, lower blood pressure, and boost your mood. It’s like self-care that also cares for others.

So, why not make kindness a habit? Start small—a smile, a kind word, or a simple act of generosity. You never know who needs it or how it might come back to bless you when you least expect it.

Wishing you joy as you grow through every act of kindness,

Debra

Do you know someone who deliberately seeks to harm others and persists until they succeed? If this behavior isn’t characteristic of you, don’t let anyone drag you into it. If you can’t change their mindset, it’s best to separate from them. Don’t waste your valuable time debating. Involvement in someone else’s harmful intentions has led many to become party to wrongdoing.

One habit I’ve implemented —and one I often recommend—is actually scheduling time for yourself, right on your calendar, planner or to-do list, just as you would appointments, meetings, and any other commitment. Block out specific times for workouts, relaxation, meal prep, and even your bedtime.

Then, honor these appointments with yourself—whether it’s a walk in the park, cooking something nourishing, dancing to your favorite song, or simply winding down for bed. Treating these moments like any other priority can make all the difference in living healthier and with purpose.
