Continuing our Wellness Journey - Finding Meaning
 This week our journey focuses on the power of Finding Meaning, the 11th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Finding meaning appears to be a unique human need. It is one of the most complex uses of energy in that it involves almost all of the previous energy forms. Since the beginning of time philosophers have asked these basic questions: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? What do I want? What is real? What is true? This section encourages you to find a deeper meaning in your life that can provide a powerful focus for directing your life-energy. View more
Simply Well - "Don't Play It Safe" - John W. Travis, MD, MPH
In "Don't Play It Safe" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., challenges you to express more of your tremendous potential. Health is a function of your participation in life. Those who play it too safe often end up lonely, isolated from others, or obsessed with their own health issues. Such attitudes limit one's world and weaken the immune system as well. How about it? When was the last time you took a risk? Did something uncharacteristic? Committed yourself to a great task? View more
Healthy Computing: "Expand Your Waist" - Erik Peper, Ph.D.
Our stomach expands when we sit down, however, we do not loosen our belt or waistband to allow for expansion. This constricts our abdomen and forces us to breathe slightly higher and more rapidly in our chest. This breathing pattern, punctuated with sighs, increases neck and shoulder tension and may contribute to cooler hands (poor circulation). Reduce neck and shoulder tension and induce slower and lower breathing when you "Expand Your Waist." View more

Nutrition Tips - "The Hidden Link Between Stress, Aging and Caffeine" - Caroline MacDougall
Although we reach for the coffee or tea cup hoping to boost our energy, studies show that we are actually inducing a state of stress. Caffeine drives the adrenal glands to produce stress hormones that can remain in the blood stream up to 18 hours after consumption. In "The Hidden Link Between Stress, Aging and Caffeine" Caroline MacDougall sheds new light on lifestyle practices that ultimately lead to fatigue, plus tips for kicking the caffeine habit.

 Kick the Caffeine Habit This Year - Destress with Teeccino Caffeine Free Herbal Coffee
Coffee drinkers may be surprised to learn that herbal coffee actually has nutritional benefits which help nourish and keep the body healthy. Coffee, on the other hand, only supplies the drug, caffeine, which stimulates your adrenal glands but does not provide energy - actually it could deplete the body's energy reserves. Teeccino, the first herbal coffee on the market, is a blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted, ground and brewed just like coffee. Dark, rich, and full-bodied, Teeccino brings you all the satisfaction of a robust brew with no caffeine reaction. Teeccino tastes mildly sweet from dates and figs, with only 15 calories per cup.
