Think About Setting a New Type of Resolution
I would like to encourage everyone to consider adopting a different type of goal this year. This is the goal of shedding the “limiting labels” that you place on yourself. “I’m not thin enough…… I’m not pretty enough…. I’m not successful enough…I’m not smart enough”, are some that are most commonly adopted. As someone who used to talk this way to myself as well, I also understand that the thought of shedding these internal labels can seem nearly impossible. However, some simple behavioral therapy techniques are all that is needed. Then, as the limiting labels begin to melt away and you begin to remove your self-imposed roadblocks, inertia will take over in many areas and you can achieve your self-designed life.

Take Action for the Animals
Will 2018 be the year the plight of animals is eased because of YOU? Volunteer at an animal shelter! Whether you are motivated because of sadness regarding conditions animals face, an inspiring story of a rescue or anger resulting from an abuse case, take action. Some shrug the stories off, some say “what a shame” and some shed a tear for the suffering but YOU stepped forward and decided to ACT, to HELP, to MAKE A DIFFERENCE! The animals will benefit because you gave your time, your most precious commodity. May you always know the joy of caring and sharing!

Be The Ark
for insects, pollinators, birds, bees, and small wildlife of your garden. Their lives depend on the gardens and habitats we protect and create. Some urban areas of the U.S. now have more diversity of insects and pollinators than rural areas. Recent studies in Europe have found a 75% decrease in insect biomass in 25 years. Ask what plants provide the most food and shelter for insects and other creatures? How can I lovingly care for the soil, plants and animals of my garden? The beauty of a garden is in the answers to these questions. Linda Wiggen Kraft is a landscape designer who creates holistic and sustainable gardens, a mandala artist and workshop leader.

Learn to Relax and Improve Your Mood with Essential Oils
Essential oils are very powerful and can be used with wonderful results. Aromatherapy can change your mood, lift your spirits or totally relax you. Depending on the type of stress you are experiencing, you may want to try one of the following blends: For tension, lavender and orange are good choices. For anxiety, you may want to try cedar and ylang-ylang. For irritability or anger, try bergamot and chamomile. For relaxation or sleeplessness, lavender is the best.There are a variety of ways to use the oils, either by diffusing, in a bath, a sachet or just simply sniffing. With the exception of lavender oil, never put these oils directly on your skin without diluting in a carrier oil.

Do Things Differently For Change To Happen
Do you desire change in your life? What actions are you setting your intention to make? If we want different results, we have to do things differently! I would like to suggest that you look inward. We cannot change other people, only ourselves. We need to Be the change we desire. Maybe you are not sick, but are you enjoying “optimum” health? Why not schedule a thermography screening to monitor your health from a Holistic, Preventive perspective? Learn the self help tools of meditation, self hypnosis and imagery to be your emotional best and enjoy life the way you really desire.

Shop at Thrift Stores
One in six people are shopping in thrift stores for desire rather than need. So take time to browse purposefully and discover that lamp shade that can have a scarf added as an accent or those vintage jeans that can be dissected and turned into a hand bag. You can turn old broken jewelry into new statement items with a glue gun and a little wire. You can be the talk of the town for a fraction of the cost. It pays to be Thrifty.

Set Intentions, Be Grateful and Live Life of Abundance

Celebrate Past Year’s Work
We all look forward to a new outcome with each year, however, let’s celebrate the work that we have done in the previous year. As we move forward in our healing, we can continue to acknowledge the care and consideration of our holistic bodies. Let’s celebrate the discipline, thoughts, actions and work that we have put into ourselves, so that we can freely move into the next phase of healing. You must accept the current you in order to create the new you. Happy Solstice!

Get A Health Evaluation
Make 2018 your best year yet by getting a comprehensive health evaluation to determine exactly where you are in your wellness journey.

Figure out your starting point and then work with a qualified functional medicine practitioner to map out a plan to get you where you want to be. Your 2019 self will thank you.

Make Friends With Plants
My work with the plant is a lifelong process and has been key to my personal welfare. Plants are incredible tools for self-transformation. Making wreaths and remedies from the wild native plants living on our land has furnished me with the tools to heal my body, mind and spirit. The intelligence within the plant can deeply influence your life and aid your journey. Plants are not innate objects but living, growing green beings that react to your presence, your energy and your thoughts. Plants are wise teachers and faithful friends. It is a rewarding and sacred relationship.

Don’t Stress Over Resolutions
As 2018 begins, people are making resolutions to be a healthier “You”. However, it’s okay to make resolutions; but, try not to stress out about it. Getting healthy by changing your current habits takes time and is a slow process. So…. take your time, keep the stress down, slowly remove ‘bad’ health habits, replace with better ones and you will eventually get there. Let’s enjoy this Journey to Good Health. Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year. From the staff of Kim’s Herbs & Detox Center. 314-395-3767. www.herbshopstl.com.
Relax…
it is the first and most important principle of our t’ai chi practice. A person who is relaxed is more able to approach life with an open mind and attitude. One is more likely to see people as human beings, more likely to hear what they are really saying and thus able to assess with a calm mind instead of an emotional one. A relaxed body allows for better posture and improved balance which in turn results in less back and joint issues. The simple act of learning to relax your breathing has a calming effect on your whole body. The St. Louis T’ai Chi Ch’uan Association, taichistlouis.org 314-961-1355.

Keep Calm and Carry On in 2018
How can a stressed, busy person calm themselves quickly? Find a quiet place. Take a DEEP breath in. Hold it for a count of four. Practice now: INHALE… 1 – 2 -3 – 4 ….and as you EXHALE drop your shoulders. Then repeat this three to five times. You may find it helpful on each out breath to think of a word or an image that evokes peacefulness. What this simple exercise does is allow you to reconnect with your breath. The more connected we are to our breath, the calmer we are. Try it. Anytime. Any place. Including this moment. All is well. Peggy Levinson, LCSW, LMFT

Find Peace and Balance
Ever feel like a tight-rope walker trying to find your balance with no net underneath? As you teeter back and forth your progress is slow and tedious. But when you find that point of balance, you speed across the wire. As you step into 2018, find your balance. Slide through tough times, and savor the good times. Find a word or phrase that speaks to your heart. My word is peace. When I feel peace I find the balance that leads to possibilities and solutions. Find your balance – and your way will be made clear before you.

Walk Your Dog
Think of your dog walks as being enrichment experiences for your dog and not necessarily always fitness walks for you or for them. How many times have you walked your dog for miles and they’re still fired up when you get home despite the fact you’re exhausted? From a wellness perspective, it could be better to play some brain games with your dog or a good game of fetch or tug for their increased fitness levels or perhaps as a running partner. Remember that 15 minutes of puzzle play is the equivalent of a one mile walk. Never underestimate the benefits of mental stimulation. The challenge is to keep our dogs both mentally and physically fit. Exercise and the proper diet can keep our dogs nice and lean which is important for their joints and overall physical well-being.

See The Forest & The Trees
A “treemendous” year starts with getting outdoors and enjoying the wealth of benefits trees provide. Trees work for our well-being as much as they work for wildlife and the environment. Studies show that people who spend time around trees concentrate better. Contact with nature helps children improve their creativity, intellectual development and social relationships. Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime in the backyard, or a hike through the woods, get outdoors and see how trees work for you and your family. Discover all the ways trees and forests are working for you at treeswork.org. From the Trees Work program at the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Make a Vision Board
A Vision Board is a visual representation of what you want to achieve. It works by shifting the energy you are sending out around your intentions. To make the board, you will need a poster board, pictures and glue. Go through magazines and pull lots of pictures. Select the ones you intuitively want and lay them on the board, then glue them on. Some people hang their boards, so they can see them often; others put them away and pull them out a year later to see what manifested. The intentions on the board are strong; this is a great way to manifest change. Deborah Zorensky, RD, LD, CCN, , The Center for Mind, Body & Spirit

Make Time For Your Pets
Spending extra quality time with your pets after the anxiety of the holidays is very beneficial and can strengthen the human-animal bond. First make an appointment with your pet. A play date so to speak. Mark it on the calendar and don’t schedule anything else during that time. Second play interactive games with your pet. When engaging your pets mind, it makes you more interesting to them and will make them look at you for entertainment instead of perhaps a destructive alternative. This is relaxing for both you and your pet.Finally, spend time actually observing your pet. Really enjoy the essence of your pet. Concentrate on their feel, their sounds, their rhythm, their scent. You will be surprised what you see!

Treat Your Mouth Right
With the New Year approaching, you may have already begun to think about your New Year’s resolutions. Why not make your New Year’s resolution to improve your dental health? Brushing and flossing protect your mouth from tooth decay and gum disease, which is caused by your teeth’s most persistent enemy, plaque. Both brushing and flossing are equally important for good oral health. For this new year, resolve to treat your mouth right: improve your diet, quit smoking and improve your oral hygiene habits – your teeth and your body will thank you for it!
