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.

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!

In our family, we regularly say "We do hard things." It's like the Webber motto. Recently, I've decided to get back in shape. I've been going to the gym consistently for about 2 months. However, the healthy diet has been more difficult. Then, I came across the sardine fast. Yep, just eating sardines for 3-7 days. I'm on day 2 and I've lost 7 pounds. Now, in general, I like sardines. However, for every meal is a whole new experience. I'm committed to keep going. My goal is 195, I'm now at 225. What hard things are you working on? Or, what hard thing do you want to start tackling?
