You know your body better than anyone. When you self-regulate you pay attention to what your body needs, and can respond accordingly. For example, self-regulating during exercise means respecting your abilities and knowing your limitations. Rather than becoming frustrated at your performance or comparing yourself to a fitness instructor, learn to modify the routine to suit your needs. This means finding balance!
Educate yourself on how to modify an exercise routine. Tweak it to suit the needs of your body, and any health conditions that may limit your movements. A qualified exercise instructor or physical therapist can help you to do this. Professional help and guidance enables you to receive the benefits from exercise rather than risk injuring yourself, or worse yet, giving up on your fitness routine altogether. Take good care of you, invest in your health, and Be Well!

If you read my May 25th post I mentioned how we can strengthen ties and make use of social networks to help ease depression, provide comfort in times of grief, and ease the burdens of care-taking or illness. Connecting with others can also be a bit overwhelming when you are short on time and/or low on energy. As you strive to find balance and manage your time remember to connect with yourself! This mean spend time with you!
Enjoying your own company is a self-esteem boost, and having time to yourself can help you de-stress and relax. Solitude and being alone doesn't mean loneliness. Quiet time spent reading, taking a morning stroll, or practicing a favorite hobby rejuvenates the spirit. Ask yourself, "Am I allowing myself some alone time to recharge my batteries and feel my best?" If you haven't, here is some homework to consider...this Friday, June 9th, is the Full Strawberry Moon. Treat yourself to a moment of moon-gazing, try it solo or share with others. Hopefully the weather in your area allows for an unobstructed view!

Welcome to June! It's Thirsty Thursday and a time of year that I enjoy having fun in the sun! Read Brian Wilson's quote below the photo...his words ring true for me, my Disneyland trip is right around the corner! In regards to your personal circumstances, is sunlight helpful or harmful?
For hundreds of years sunlight has been used to help heal ailments such as rickets, osteoporosis, acne, eczema, neonatal jaundice, and depression (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Using sunlight as therapy is called heliotherapy. On the flip side, we know the risks of overexposure to sunlight, which can be attributed to ultraviolet rays and radiation. Additionally, there are some medications and health conditions that may place you at a higher risk for sun damage. Too much sun = sunburn (or worse). The question is...how to find balance during the summer months while also enjoying the outdoors and protecting yourself? This gets complicated! Always speak to your doctor about sun safety for your specific health conditions and educate yourself! Read more about heliotherapy, plus the pros and cons of sunshine here.

"Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun." - Brian Wilson
Social networks can ease depression, provide comfort in times of grief, and ease the burdens of care-taking or illness. Maintaining positive relationships can lead to long-term physical and emotional health benefits. There are a number of ways you can connect to achieve better health. One way is by using social media. According to a recent survey, 73% of adults over 50 are connected to friends and relatives with media such as Facebook and Linked-In. This type of interaction is convenient and especially useful when loved-ones are far away. How are you connecting? Check back in June for more tips to strengthen your ties.

Some days are tougher than others. My paternal grandmother passed away yesterday. There is a lot to do, my parents are overwhelmed, and we are beginning our grief process. We all share these life events, and each of us will handle it and perceive it differently. How to find gratitude when there is grief? For me, reading the words from A.A. Milne warms my heart. Piglet is correct, even the smallest space can contain a great deal of gratitude. I am grateful for the time I spent with my parents today, grateful that my employer provided flexibility with my schedule, and grateful for the mortuary staff who were so gracious and helpful.
What does a health educator have in their toolkit when they are stressed and sad? These are a few things that helped me today:
