Ciao Wellness Friend,
I hope this email finds you doing well!
I forgot to send out my Newsletter on a Wednesday and I'm feeling disappointed in myself. I called it Wellness Wednesday as my plan was to send it out every Wednesday! Oh no, I suddenly thought of a few options:
Skip this week and assume nobody would notice
Send it without even mentioning that it's now Thursday
Acknowledge the stumble -mostly to myself- and own up to it!
I decided to go with option 3 and direct my energy towards sharing the wise words of Julia Cameron "Progress, not perfection, is what we should be asking of ourselves."
Who's Julia Cameron? None other than the author of the book "The Artist's Way" ~ a course for discovering and recovering your creative self. A 12 week -self led- course to a Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity.
I just started round 3 of this course and the morning pages really help calm my spin-out-of-control thoughts.
Does this happen to you? Check out her book (she also offers a course you can purchase and has published many other books) - we are ALL creative beings and deserve to allow this creativity to express itself.
My copy as I read a few more pages this morning at a cute caffé in Grottaferrata!
How does this relate to your health, you may be asking? Well, as you look at your overall health, allowing yourself to express yourself creatively will allow you to be happier. Harvard University has conducted studies on the cognitive benefits of making art!
And, eating healthier can help clear your mind to allow you to express yourself more creatively. As you see, it's all interconnected! Check out this article on Harvard Health's Blog on Nutrition and brain health.
Lastly, but not least, you still have the chance to join October's 5 Detox Program simply reply to this e-mail and I'll help you sign up. The Detox will take place October 9th - October 13th!
