Beat Anxiety with “Breath and Prayer” by Jennifer Tucker

In her book “Breath As Prayer,” Jennifer Tucker connects breathing and prayer to find hope amid anxiety. Although she uses a Christian perspective, spirituality doesn’t have to center around religion. I have been practicing meditation for many years but split away from praying until I found a group that encourages praying to a higher power (however they imagine that higher power to be). 

Breath As Prayer walks the reader through the beginning process of meditation. Often, people get scared to try meditation, but I’m living proof- the more you practice it, the better you will become. Meditation cards and other gear make starting your meditation journey easier. Meditation has changed my life and can do the same for you.

Care for Yourself Long Term

We’ve been spotlighting self-care, but the reality of being a Third Ager is that we need to think about how to take care of ourselves when we need help. Most of us probably avoid this conversation, but do you want to be worried how you’re going to pay for it? That’s why we’re looking at providing peace of mind for yourself and your family with long-term care insurance. And get a clear idea on what you need for retirement to be financially free. Let’s focus on our financial self-care.

Aging in Place is Self-Care

Did you know there are seven pillars to self-care? Each pillar touches on self-care and aging in place. Staying in your home for the next 20-plus years doesn’t have to be an unreachable dream, but you may need to reach out for help occasionally. Asking for help doesn’t make us weak; I would argue it makes us stronger. The number of services available to help seems to grow by the year. Technology, whether we embrace it or not, can make living in your home longer easier for you.

Self care is for you!

Live your best life with self-care that betters your energy and overall health. Self-care doesn’t have to be limited to bubble baths and manicures. It can also include slowing down and focusing on your mental health. You can change your entire life by learning how to bring calmness into your life. Colder weather often lets you focus more on internal reflection; with practical insights from the book The Self-Care Toolkit, you can turn the winter blues into something positive. Wellness retreats can help reset and boost your mental health. Discover relaxing retreats and hot springs that will leave you rejuvenated and ready to tackle the goals you have for yourself in the years to come. 

Beat Stress with Breaths

We are officially in the 2023 holiday season! Don’t let all of the hustle and bustle stress you out! I’ve put together a gift guide for you and yours… and the best part? Everything can be found on Amazon, making shopping a stress-free experience! I have been exploring breathwork, and after some practice, I am starting to believe that breathing is the key to good health. In her book, The Mind Body Stress Reset, Rebekkah LaDyne shares how to reset your nervous system and provides tools for calming stress in both your mind and body.

Memories in Motion

The holidays are right around the corner. Who is ready to get moving? Make memories with your family and friends by staying active this holiday season. Staying active doesn’t have to be complicated. If you aim to get in 10,00 steps per day, you can lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers. Walking and listening to Podcasts has become one of my favorite things. I made a list of three podcasts that go great with walking. Can you imagine taking a 15-year break from doing what you love? That’s exactly what Jane Fonda did. That break was just what she needed, because she came back even stronger with a passion for an active fulfilling third-age life!

Dance to the Bowling Alley

Are you ready to dance? 

Dancing is a great way to elevate your heart rate and make you smile. Everyday Health says it doesn’t matter how you choose to move as long as you raise your heart rate. So, put on your dancing shoes and head to our Facebook group to showcase your moves! Are you planning intergenerational get-togethers over the holidays? Bowling is great family fun. If you aren’t a pro, don’t worry! They even make it easy for all skill levels with bumpers and ramps.

Healthy Body, Healthy Mind (No kidding!)

Have you heard the best-kept secret to staying mentally healthy this winter?

It’s simpler than you think, too. The key is moving your body. Exercising, whether it’s a 30-minute walk or practicing yoga from your home, can increase your muscle mass. Staying active can help both your body and your mind fulfill a healthier life. Find what feels good for you, and follow it to the other side of the seasonal depression era.
