Happy New Year to you!

Seeing friends and family this holiday season – some for the first time since 2019 – reminded me how important it is to have FUN! And while we continue to live in a rapidly changing world. it’s essential to keep the FUN factor in your life.

According to Minimalism Made Simple, there are numerous health benefits to having FUN!

  • Fun can reduce stress (that’s a no brainer!)
  • Fun can improve the quality of your sleep.
  • Fun can increase your creativity.
  • Fun keeps you feeling youthful!
  • Fun boosts your energy.

But more importantly, FUN boosts the happy hormones in your body. This article on Brain Chemistry & Your Mood offers ways to increase your happy hormones. Be sure you get your daily D.O.S.E.!

  • Dopamine
  • Oxytocin
  • Serotonin
  • Endorphins

The ability to have FUN and jump start your hormones naturally is important – especially during these dark winter months. It’s also an act of kindness to yourself – supporting your highest level of well-being.

May your new year be filled with FUN – physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally!

P.S. And of course our New Year #realpic card makes me laugh! I would do my handstand, David would place the (plastic) glass between my feet, fan my toes, say “3, 2, 1” and click his watch to take the picture! :)
