Have you found your groove yet this year? We are almost a third of the way through 2017 and I can’t say I have quite settled in. There just seems to be something in the air…Maybe it’s our unseasonably cold weather or this terrible cold and flu season affecting so many. It could be the busy season schedule, or maybe it’s simply the evening news. I’m not really sure, but I am ready to turn it around.

I was reminded recently that when things seem unsettled, it’s often not what is taking place around you, but how you perceive those things. The unsettledness can come from within and sometimes all it takes is a simple change in perspective.

Some find this from a long chat with a good friend or a weekend away. I am reminded to return to meditation. Sitting in stillness each morning clearing my mind as the sun rises in our blue desert sky changes everything in the day ahead. It instills an unexplainable contentment that enables me to face every aspect of the day with order and ease. The stress and chaos that previously plagued me seem to disappear. All is good once again and I am ready to shine.

I hope that your year is full of brightness and smiles that come from within. If you are not quite there, take the time to find it once again. It’s there waiting for you.

As always, we thank you for reading Desert Health^® and hope you’ll share those smiles with us at the third annual Desert Health Wellness Awards on May 18th (see page 31). We are excited about this year’s event and the many deserving nominees we will be celebrating, so please join us!

Here’s to sunny days ahead ~
