Words of Wellness Wisdom
from Susan Greeley, MS, RDN,
National Director, Wellness Services
It doesn’t take long to get into the swing of a new year, and here we are in February, a month that brings our awareness to our hearts! American Heart Month, which is celebrated each February, is meant to bring about more awareness of and attention to our heart and cardiovascular health. For me, that means paying more attention to both mind and body, as our hearts are so susceptible to our feelings. Self-care is no guilty pleasure, but rather it is an act of love that needs to be practiced in our daily personal lives to feel and function well!
More specifically, however, I believe it means we truly need to listen to our hearts. When we do, we all most likely experience the knowing of what is best for ourselves in that moment. That can relate to all aspects of our lives, and while self-care is of course very individual, I hope to give everyone some options in this heart-health focused newsletter to help you take care of your heart!
We've added two new wellness Affinity Partners that I'm excited to share with Members. The Healing Table from Bridgmed Health is a culinary medicine platform available to all, and for a fabulous group or private yoga instruction, we've partnered with Yoga With Jake. See details of these offers below.
If you’re looking for new delicious, nutritious recipes, you will be happy to find them below. We develop monthly recipes for you, our Members, that support the four wellness pillars (sleep, exercise, nutrition, and stress management.) Don’t be surprised I focus on beans this month and what makes them so good for our hearts after all! In addition, listen to how good for our health coffee is, or how to start mastering stress in my latest episodes of the SENSe of Wellness podcast! (Subscribe on your favorite platform to catch each monthly episode.)
Finally, be sure to check out our member-exclusive wellness events. If you miss any, they are all recorded and can be found here. I hope to continue to inspire and empower all our Members to start and maintain simple, positive habits to help you feel and function better daily.
Most importantly, dedicate time each day to your own self-love, doing what you love, and spreading some love around you because, to quote the Beatles, Love Is All You Need.
In good health,
Susan Greeley, MS, RDN
