Happy Valentines Day! This is a day that is promoted as a day of love and hearts and flowers. What if, it could also be a day to think of people important to us and say something or do something that the person might like? Many of us know the GOLDEN rule - 'do unto others as you would have other do unto you' - What if you apply the PLATINUM rule? 'Do unto others what they would want done to them'. Have a great day!.

Gong hei fat choy! Happy Chinese New Year. This is the year of the Rooster. They are known for being trustworthy, punctual & responsible. How is your new year going? We all seem impacted by the current political changes in the world. I came across this quote by Queen Elizabeth II - thought it was applicable - maybe it will resonate for you! 'Today we need a special kind of courage. Not the kind needed in battle, but a kind which makes us stand up for everything we know is right, everything that is true and honest. We need the kind of courage that can withstand the subtle corruption of the cynics, so that we can show the world that we are not afraid of the future.' Have a great year!

Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best in 2017. Many of us make resolutions for the New Year and then give up on them before the end of January. Set yourself up for success in 2017, if you choose to make resolutions, pick actions that you can accomplish. It's not easy to change how we think, feel or behave!

Idea # 10 Enjoy Solitude sometimes the holidays is filled to too much visiting and doing. Take time to be alone today take a bath, read a book, watch a favorite movie

Idea # 9 Set Limits know what you can and cannot do. Say ‘no’ politely when you are asked to do something today that is not a fit for you.

Idea # 8 Play Playing is not just for kids and playing with your kids or grandkids is good for them as well. Make time to play a board game, play outside or find an interactive game on your smart phone.

Idea #7 Exercise Some studies suggest that exercise is as effective as anti-depressants in treating mild anxiety and depression. Exercise can be as simple as walking; take 20 minutes to exercise today.

Idea # 6 Laugh Laughter is often referred to as the ‘best medicine’. Find ways to laugh today - watch a funny video or tell a joke.

Idea # 5 Drink Water Staying hydrated by drinking about 8 glasses of water today can help your body metabolize some of the yummy high fat, high sugar treats during the holidays.

Merry Christmas - yesterday I did not post any ideas for balance during the holidays. I decided to "Unplug" Social media is amazing but sometimes keeping in touch can feel overwhelming. ‘Unplug’ for a while today to be in the moment with family and friends. Enjoy.

Idea #3 for maintaining Balance through the holidays Sleep Sleep experts tell us to maintain a regular sleep routine - Going to bed and getting up at about the same time everyday. This can be a challenge during the holidays - try to follow your usual pattern as much as possible.

Idea # 2 Ask for Help No one can do it all; Ask for help with holiday preparations today some people wait to be asked instead of offering to pitch-in.

I am launching my company's Facebook page! For many of us the Holidays are a stressful time of the year. Each day for the next 10 days I will offer a tip for feeling balanced during the Holidays. Idea # 1 is - Breathe We tend to hold our breath and/or take shallow breaths when we are busy or feeling stress. Make time today for mini’s moments of paying attention to how you breath and taking some deep inhales.
