Do you have the Winter Blues or are you longing for those long Summer Days? Our brain has a natural Circadian Rhythm. This means our brains love 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. Depending on the time of year we don't always get the natural Circadian Rhythm. Scandinavians created what is called a Hygge (Huug-ah) environment to combat the long dark days. Join me on how you can incorporate Hygge (Huug-ah) into your daily routines and you might just feel very cozy and warm.
Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year and I am excited to spend 2023 with all of you.

Social Anxiety is in full swing during the Holiday Season for a lot of us. I have often heard the phrase, "This Too Shall Pass," throughout my life and it is one way that I personally use to cope. Parties, shopping, cooking, wrapping gifts and decorating is a lot to take on with all of your other responsibilities. Social gatherings can be very anxiety provoking and utilizing the phrase, "This Too Shall Pass for You," emphasizes that you are well on your way to coping with Social Anxiety and all the stressors that the Holiday Season can cause each of us.
