Many, Many Thanks

Hey there friends of The Center! We just wanted to first thank everyone who came to the art opening and meet-and-greet last Saturday. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. The combination of the peaceful atmosphere at The Center, the good company, the beautiful art and the sample services provided by Shelley Poovey, Michael Grego and Dr. Noam Sadovnik made for a wonderful event. We had a great time, Thank you!

On the subject of thanks, this happens to be the week for it. After a long week of family and food, it's time to take a moment to relax. Life is hectic, but the holidays shouldn't have to be. Take some tips from our practitioners who shared what they like to do to relax: 

Maya Carlet stays likes to stay active through yoga, outdoor recreation and dance but also loves to cook. "Finding time to create healthy and nourishing meals is extremely important way for me to de-stress and to support my own health and wellbeing."

Dr. Jada Turco chooses exercise as her stress relief activity. "Any kind of exercise first thing in the morning, walking, yoga, going for a hike, especially in the fall."

Shelley Poovey recommends meditation. "I love to meditate. I spend at least a half an hour a day or more meditating. I have a technique for breathing into my heart that cultivates an overall sense of peace and gratitude. I use it when I run and work out as well. I find that working this way keeps my stress levels low and a positive outlook more available to me throughout the day."

Whatever happened this Thanksgiving, take a little time for yourself, and you'll be better able to appreciate your friends and family. Hope you had a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
