You may or may not know this about me, but I donât believe in deprivation.
- I am a TERRIBLE dieter, and
- I donât deal well when Iâm deprived of sleep (or chocolate for that matter.)
Thatâs why the goal of the challenge wasn't to even consider saying NO to anything in this last part of the year.
Rather, it was to saying YES to all of the things we KNOW that are good for us (extra water for me please!) in an effort to âCrowd outâ the stuff that isnât good for us
Part of the âStuffâ that isnât good for you and me? Thatâs STRESS.
The last 90 days of the year has a LOT of stress associated with it, with all the holidays, shopping, parties, family gatherings, and dare I say it is stressful when itâs cold outside (or is it just me?!?!)
To help us stay on track for our Last 90 Days Challenge, I invited Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Doctor Jes Dwyer to share a little bit about stress and what it does to our bodies, and how you and I can use TCM to help reduce and even eliminate some of the trauma that stress does to our bodies. Jes wrote a super informative post about Stress and TCM just for us!
Stress has a pretty nasty way of working into daily life and the long term effects can actually be devastating.
Thatâs why, just in time for the holidays, Jes Dwyer is going to partner with our very own Evangeline Blair for a super stress-busting evening dedicated to helping us not just FEEL better but BE BETTER with a 90 minute workshop combining Restorative Yoga and Acupuncture specifically for stress!
This workshop really canât come at a better time, right before the Hustle and Bustle of the Holidays gets into full swing, come, join two masters at their trade as they help you to unwind, de-stress, and feel AMAZING. The workshop is October 18th at 6:30. It includes a 60 minute Restorative Yoga class with a 30 minute Community Acupuncture Treatment session with optional fire cupping session available afterward.
I invite you to stay connected, stay motivated, stay accountable to yourself and to your family. Come celebrate a little self-care time with a few of your favorite Thrive Tribe members as we #staystrong through 2019 and beat that stress!
Here is another opportunity to read Jesâ article on Stress and Chinese Medicine.
When youâve read this, be sure to come back and reserve your spot in our first Restorative Yoga and Acupuncture for Stress workshop to get prepped for the holidays!
