What brings you joy?

Who or what lights up your heart?

For my nephew Justin and his girlfriend Katy, it was a seven month trip across country in their RV! Their first stop last September was at our place upstate and it was wonderful to see them return this past weekend. As I listened to their stories and narration of their photos, my heart lit up. If you know me well, being an aunt to 12 nieces and nephews is the greatest joy of my life – and they span 20 years in age!

And you? What truly lights up your heart?

To continue to flourish with an overall sense of health and well-being, take a moment and write a minimum of three things or people that light up your heart. Feel the dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins – the happy hormones –  surge through your entire body. Boosting these hormones results in an increase strength in your immune system, more peaceful sleep, and an overall sense of well-being.

Make an abundant list and be confident in your self-care!

So go ahead, light up your heart!
