Following up to Shayne’s post, I want to know what you say to yourself when obstacles arise. What is the self talk that keeps you moving forward? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Challenge: Love your partner this week in a way that they really feel it. Make him/her feel special and important. Do the little things- notes, extra touches or some small services (hopefully you know the things that work for your partner). I challenge you to do it so much this week, that your partner says "what is going on?" And, when they do just say "I am working on loving you better. How am I doing?" Let us know what happens...

I have recently become interested in earthing or grounding. It is the practice of touching the earth or nature with our skin. It has been found to have a myriad of benefits- improves sleep, lower cortisol, calms the nervous system, reduces inflammation and pain, lowers heart rate, promotes circulation, boosts mood and increases energy. The easiest method is to walk barefoot on natural surfaces like grass, sand, or dirt. Science has shown the beach and ocean to have the most impact. For many of us, feet in the dirt will have to do. My idea, initiate some family activities that include bare feet and the ground and see what happens. Let us know how connection to the earth helps you.
