We are nearing the Holiday season; which can bring very mixed feelings for some people. The speed of life can seem daunting this time of year; and it is easy to get caught up in the busyness, and the impact and pace of so much change. One very helpful thing in times of stress is to simply take some breaks in Nature. Go for a walk, do some yard work, breathe the clean and fresh air outside – raining or not. We tend to spend more time than we need to sitting in front of a computer. Even just getting up to get a glass of water, or stretch your legs for a moment or two brings good health dividends. There is nothing I know that is better for the brain than to listen to music you enjoy – or, even better, play some music, by yourself or with others.
