Weekly Newsletter – 10/30/2024

Slowing down and taking time to care for ourselves is key so that we have the patience and emotional real estate to care for others and be our best selves! It is important as we head into the holiday season to pause and enjoy what we have.

The challenge this week is to start noticing one unique thing each day that you are grateful for.

Cheers,

Healthy Living Tip

Neck and Shoulder Stretches for

Desk Potatoes

Many of us sit at a desk for hours a day and stare at a screen. These easy desk stretches can help:

  • Overhead side stretch: Put your arms over your head and lean in one direction while sitting up straight. Repeat on the other side. 
  • Side-neck stretch: Gently put your hand on the back of your head and guide it to your chest. Then, instead of putting your head straight down, turn it slightly by looking at your thigh.  
  • Neck-roll stretch: Relax and lean your head forward. Slowly roll your head to one side and hold for about 10 to 20 seconds, then slowly roll it to the other side. 
  • Upper-trap stretch: Gently pull your head toward each shoulder. Hold on each side for 10 to 20 seconds.
