32. Whole Heart Living - What does this mean to you?

February is a month full of hearts… Chocolate hearts, candy hearts, paper garland hearts, and heart-shaped cards. And in the spirit of that tradition, we’re celebrating hearts this month on the Habit Thrive Podcast in our own way. We’re kicking off our theme of Whole Heart Living today by thinking about what “whole heart living” means to us. When we think about heart health, we usually picture the physical health of our heart. Anatomy, physiology, valves and blood flow. But heart health is so much more than that; it’s ... well ... emotional, too. Negative emotions like grief, depression, loneliness or anger can increase the risk for heart disease or actually do damage to the heart. That’s why it’s important to use our tools like journaling, yoga, exercise and meditation to help with stress management and creating some feel-good emotions instead. That includes taking care of ourselves, and on that note I want to share with you an amazing summit that is happening this month: Love the Skin You’re In, hosted by my friend and colleague Sherry Jibb. This free Women’s Empowerment Series is happening February 9-13, and there are so many incredible women signed on to share their expertise and help other women “embrace their true essence”! I really hope that you’ll join me as I chat about habits, rituals and routines that will help us LOVE the Skin We're In. So, take a deep breath (It’s good for your heart!), let it out slowly, and I will see you next weekend. Lorrie xoxox Sign up for the Loving The Skin You're In series here.
