Only 36% of people are able to accurately identify their own emotions as they happen. Coping Skills. When your anxiety levels get high, don't just muddle on. Take time out. Do something just for you. This kind of self-awareness promotes emotional health and helps us learn how to better cope with stress. Solve Problems as a Team. Whether it's kids who don't want to get out of bed for school or an epic struggle around chores, open communication is the best way to red...uce tension. Talk with others about what's important to you and why. Invite them to offer solutions. Listen to Others. Too often we don't acknowledge the reality of those around us. But they are all real people with real problems. Ask them about their challenges and concerns. When others feel heard, they feel validated and that builds trust between them and you. Express Gratitude. Acknowledge the good things in your life; this steers focus away from negative events and gives a new perspective to tough situations. Keep a gratitude journal, or make it a regular habit to express what you are grateful for that day. Honor the Spirit. Set aside time to discover and discuss life experiences. They can become cornerstones in evolving a sense of ourselves and an awareness of something greater than the material world. If you are struggling with regular stress, poor concentration, fatigue, other symptoms beyond what seems normal for you, they may be symptoms of a greater issue.

On the flip side, genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors are associated with cognitive function. Certain lifestyle practices can help us maintain and increase ou...r brain health. Brain activity and sharpness can be achieved via the following ideas: 1. Never Stop Learning. 2. Read a wide variety of subjects. 3. Travel 4. Learn a new language 5. Teach a class. 6. Stay Connected to family, friends, and community. Volunteer work or clubs can help when family isn't nearby. 7.

What do button mushrooms, cod, shrimp, tuna, halibut, salmon, Brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds all have in common? Selenium! This is a trace mineral -- meaning we only need small amounts of it on a daily basis -- but it's still critical to our wellbeing. This mineral supports heart health, assists the production of the thyroid hormone, blood sugar regulation, and joint health. Signs of selenium deficiency: weakness and pain in the muscles, discoloration of hair and ski...n, and whitening of the fingernail beds. However, Selenium toxicity can cause nausea, vomiting, hair loss, skin lesions, abnormalities in the beds of the fingernails, and fingernail loss. If you have signs of selenium deficiency, before increasing your intake through a supplement, call us and speak with one of our licensed naturopathic doctors to ensure proper levels. . . . . . . . . #foodismedicine #foodasmedicine #farmersmarket #alternativemedicine #naturalhealth #guthealth #healthylifestyle #recipes #naturopathicdoctors #vitamins #groceryideas #healthyliving #naturopath #naturopathicmedicine #nutritionalingredients #vitaminsupplements #vitamins #selenium #licensednd See more

Fennel improves digestion, supports detox, and treats symptoms associated with respiratory illness. Raw or cooked, fennel's flavor ads something special to many dishes...and all parts of fennel are edible, making it incredibly useful at this time when we aren't making as many trips to the grocery store. Autumn and early spring are the best times for buying fennel, so we shouldn't have any trouble finding it right now. Look for bright and colorful ones with firm bulbs. The... freshest fennel smells a bit like licorice. It contains antioxidants, anethole (which has been shown to reduce inflammation), and vitamin C (contained by the bulb). It also contains fiber, potassium, and other nutrients. Try adding it into the next grocery list... . . . . . . . . #foodismedicine #foodasmedicine #fennel #alternativemedicine #naturalhealth #guthealth #healthylifestyle #recipes #naturopathicdoctors #vitamins #groceryideas #healthyliving #naturopath #naturopathicmedicine #nutritionalingredients #inflammation #vitamins #vitaminc #licensednd See more

Can mindfulness really reduce stress? We think so! But what is Mindfulness? General mindfulness, simply put, is paying attention in the moment. True mindfulness is "being fully aware of one's own mind, body, and surroundings by paying attention on purpose, in the present moment nonjudgmentally and without attachment."... Mindful practices have been used across hospitals, wellness centers, senior centers, schools, colleges, sports programs, and rehabilitation clinics, and can aid with: -high blood pressure -chronic pain and illness -decision-making -depression and anxiety -surgery, trauma, or injury. Through specific programs, we can learn how to be less reactive to stress, pain, and emotional triggers. When the body and mind are relaxed, immune function is enhanced and healing can take place.

Let's face it, staying at home is ROUGH... It's time to check in with your emotional well-being. Our ability to remain authentically positive during the toughest times is called resilience. This concept is essential to our wellbeing from our youngest age to our oldest age. Resilience is a skill that anyone can develop at any time and any age. Just like working out our physical muscles in the gym, we have to work out our emotional muscles as well. Research shows that resi...lience builds through positive emotions and coping strategies (for example: optimism, cheerfulness, gratitude, mindfulness). Resilience can help us have a healthier immune system (we are focusing heavily on this right now), lower risk of chronic disease, faster recovery from illness/surgery, improved stress management, less depression & anxiety. Secrets to improving resiliency are: 1. Be aware and catch declines in your emotional wellbeing early on 2. Focus on optimistic and positive thinking 3. Don't dwell on what went/is wrong, but focus on the opportunities ahead 4. Remember your accomplishments from the past 5. Breathe deeply and practice handling the small, daily issues better 6. Keep up with a sense of adventure, and break up your routines with unexpected activities and situations So join that skills class you always wanted to try (there are endless options for online classes right now), make something new for dinner, or surprise someone with an unexpected talent of yours. Exercising resiliency skills can significantly improve our wellbeing.
