Take time for rest and relaxation

Hi Everyone,

Tonight my message is to take time to rest and relax your mind & body. Allow yourself to get into bed early and read a book or just snuggle with your lovie. This is a busy season, especially for parents with all the sports & school activities. Making time for recharging is essential! Here are some ways to recharge yourself, I encourage you to pick one:

walk your dog or yourself
read a great book (yes, it has to be great to make it worth it)
take a bath
stretch
breathe
unplug your phone, turn your computer off, turn your iphone off
get a massage
drink some herbal tea
go to sleep an hour earlier than usual
get out in nature. Lie down on your lawn or at a park & look up at the trees.

Okay, here's Dr. Phil's 9th step on his renewal plan and it's a powerful one:

#9 Who is standing in your way? The answer may be you. Reject self-loathing and treat yourself with the kindness and respect you would show your best friend. ( I think that may be my personal favorite).

Here's a yummy turkey burger recipe:

Noel's Tasty Turkey Burger:

1 package of Plainville natural turkey
1/2 red onion chopped
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp tamari
1 handful of chopped parsley
slices of cheese of your liking
slices of avocado



In a large bowl, mix the turkey meat, onion, cumin, tamari, & parsley together.
You can either place them on a grill or cook them on the stove top in a skillet. If on grill, should take about 10-12 minutes. On stove top will take longer, cook on one side for about 8 minutes and then turn over and cook another 8 minutes.

  1. It IS a busy time of year. I will do a ME thing today, as you suggest. My sweetie is going kayaking and I will listen to my favorite NPR show -- Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me -- while I take a nice drive to buy a baby gift for someone's new little one. But first, I will take a long (yes,I will waste water)hot shower with my favorite sandalwood bodywash!
    Thank you for reminding me, Lysa!
