Happy Tuesday! I hope this post finds you well!
Last Tuesday, after I grocery shopped and put everything up, I did not feel like cooking. I am sure many of you can relate to this. We’ve been trying to eat a little better, so I also knew I did not want take-out. I remembered I had bought a few things for times like this. See below…..
What do you do when you don’t feel like cooking but also don’t want to eat out? What did you have that was taste recently?

Hi all! Happy Monday! Just like Monday is a state of mind, so is positivity. We all get to choose what our state of mind is when approaching any day or situation.
I deal with situations on most days in which I have to make the decision to put on my positive pants. It really helps the outcome be much better than my brain originally imagined. For example, I work in a pharmacy part-time. There is this one particular patient that is always grumpy and honestly a little nasty. After my first two encounters with him, I decided that I would be over the top nice to him in the future because I didn’t know what he might be going through. The next few times I saw him, I smiled big and very excitedly greeted him, thanked him for his visit, etc. After a few weeks had passed, I saw him exiting the pharmacy as I was enetering, and he smiled at me and waved! It was very touching and made my day!
Is there a specific day of the week or situation you are dealing with that you need to adjust your mindset? Are you choosing to wear your positivity pants today? I would love your input on this topic. How has changing your mindset/state of mind helped change the outcome of a particular situation?

Happy Wednesday! We made it halfway through another work week and to another Wellness Wednesday dedicated to Heart Health.
This month Bravera Hospital is doing a 28 day heart challenge. You can sign up for daily emails here and catch up on missed challenges here.
The Day 3 challenge was to Step Up and Get Exercising. Per the article walking 20 minutes a day for 15 weeks can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Are you a walker or a step counter? I aim for at least 5,000 steps a day and a few weeks back started walking 20 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. Share your step goal or exercise routine with us as well as anything esle you are doing this month for Heart Health.
Be Peaceful,

Just stopping by to share my Habit Tracker! One more successful week down means one more week closer to my goals!
A couple of days ago, I mentioned struggling with the time change. It’s dark more than it is light, which makes me sleepy. I restarted taking my vitamin D, and about mid-day I open the blinds; this has really seemed to help. I am not ready for bed at 6:30pm, the last 2 nights LOL. I also order a personal sunlight lamp, which I will start using tomorrow.
I would love to hear about your goals, habits, wellness challanges, wellness vitories, etc….

Hi all! I hope you had a great weekend!
Today was pretty low key. I grocery shopped, had to hit Sally’s, cooked, laundry, etc… We have a big weekend coming up next week, so I tried to just to get some downtime today. What about you? How was your weekend?
I noticed since the time change last weekend, I’m getting tired way too early. Does this happen to anyone else? I restarted taking my vitamins, especially my vitamin D! What do you do for winter time fatigue or blues? I’m considering getting a UV light.

I’m just stopping by to share my tracker and what I’ve been up to today!
So far, I am keeping up with my habits. Yay! Every time I check one off, I know I am one step closer to my goals!
Today started out very slow motion. Breakfast, reading, a load of laundry, reading, lunch, reading, LOL, then we went to the movies!! We saw Wakanda Forver. Now I’m home about to watch a Hallmark movie 📽 🎄😌!
How did your week go? Are you working on any habits or goals? How did your Saturday go? Anything exciting going on this weekend?

During the month of October, we are focusing on two deminsions of wellness each wednesday. Last week, we focused on the occupational and spiritual deminsions. Our final week will be environmental and financial.
Enviromental: Your wellness as it relates to natural resources and environmental preservation.
Financial: Knowledge, planning, and managing financies.
I am sure there are lots of things we can do to promote wellness in both of these deminsions. For environmental, we do recycle and make efforts not to waste resources. As far as financial, I believe in budgets and trying to plan ahead for things. I feel like these are probably the two deminsions that I need to put more focus on.
What do you do to support/promote your environmental and financial wellness? What demisions do you think you need to put more focus on?
Be Peaceful,

Peace, Life & Purple
