Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanza, the holidays can be a great time of joy for many. But for others, they are filled with anxiety and stress. Sometimes, even for those that love the family get-togethers, the stress of holiday shopping, finances, and hosting relatives can tear them apart. Let’s talk about ways […]
The holiday season brings a great deal of joy and warmth. There’s something extra special about this time of year — but it doesn’t come without challenges. A great deal of added stress is seemingly dumped on our plates, and we find it hard to catch our breath. The pressure of finding gifts, rushing around […]
Why is mindful eating and pacing the eating of your meal a great part of good health?
