Hey Muses! 
 
Happy February. January flew right on by and I've been feeling a bit unprepared for this month. February is Black History Month- go check out an exhibit at a local university or museum. It's also American Heart Month. How's your heart health, friends? Your heart pushes millions of gallons of blood to every part of your body and when it stops performing well, your quality of life significantly decreases. Take some time and consider:
  • How's your intake of fiber, cholesterol sodium and fats?
  • What's your daily and weekly physical activity levels?
  • What's your alcohol consumption?
  • Are you getting at last 2 cups of veggies per day?
  • Do you have family history of heart disease?
The American Heart Association is my go-to for heart related news. So if you go through the questions above and want more information go here- https://www.heart.org/ ❤️

Wellness Corner
Occupational Wellness- Can you network and mingle comfortably?  In early 2020, I was killing it, now I am SO uncomfortable at networking events. Be a croissant, not a bagel. 
Physical Wellness- 10,000 steps/day is recommended. How are we feeling about that number? There are MANY benefits to walking…simply walking. Aim to move a little every hour you are awake. If you're at a computer all day, set an hourly alarm to walk around. It's okay not to get 10k steps.
Financial Health- Over a decade ago I joined a Facebook group called Live Richer with The Budgetnista- That's Tiffany “The Budgetnista” Aliche. She has come a LONG way and was recently featured in a Netflix documentary about people looking to take control of their money. If you are hesitant about the next step or first step for you finances, check out The Budgetnista.
Environmental Wellness- Circle Compost and Bennett Compost are two local (Philly) organizations working to transform your food scraps. I compost and it's one of my favorite ways to be sustainable. If you want to talk composting, let's do it!  
Mental Health- A few reminders: Set Boundaries. Stick to your boundaries. Rest before your body forces you. And yes, you really do need connection, so text a friend or go out for coffee/tea with someone who has been on your mind. 
 
Remember: Wellness includes physical, occupational, social, financial, mental/emotional, spiritual, digital and creative health. It's all about balance!

That's your wellness corner!
