🌸 Positive Corner

"You are here not to shrink down to less, but to blossom into more of who you really are" ~ Oprah Winfrey

Oh, how this quote sings to my heart!

Oprah always knows just what to say, doesn't she?

It's a gentle reminder that we're here to unfold into the fullest, most vibrant versions of ourselves.

So, let's not dim our lights or hide our petals - it's our time to bloom, lovely!

🧘‍ Motivation in Motion

Imagine being 21 and hearing the words, "You have breast cancer."

Ooph - that hits hard, doesn't it?

That's Mia's story, a young woman who faced her diagnosis with a bravery that's nothing short of inspiring.

Through her journey, Mia found strength in music. In particular she fell in love with the tunes of Florence and the Machine. And she discovered a resilience she never knew she had.

Her story, shared on BSWHealth, isn't just about battling cancer. It's about finding light in the darkest of times. It's about the power of music to heal and uplift.

Mia's courage has inspired us. We hope Mia's courage inspires you to face your challenges head-on and whenever possible - and maybe with a song in your heart.

😊 Wellness Tip

This week, let's talk mood magic with the Hapbee mood-enhancing wearable.

Imagine having the power to shift your mood at the click of a button. Now that's what I call self-care sorcery!

The Hapbee uses ultra-low frequency to mimic the effects of substances like caffeine and melatonin, with zero side effects. Did you read that? ZERO side effects!

Whether you need to boost your focus, relax, or drift off to dreamland, Hapbee's got you covered.

How do we know?

Well, it wasn't that long ago...January... we were in a Zoom meeting discussing the upcoming week's schedule.

We noticed a distinct difference in the attitude of a team member. Normally withdrawn and quiet in the winter months (suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder).

Not during this meeting! Heck no! There was pep and grins and jokes for everyone. It really was noticeable that something positive was going on. Finally, someone asked.

And with a gentle pull on the shirt collar - a Hapbee was revealed. The blend used was New Year's Eve party and MoodLift. Trust us - this works!

Sure, it's a bit pricey if you think in terms of wearing it once. But with blends that help you focus, help you calm yourself, help you feel a bit more joy...well...check it out! and you can see why you’d wear it every morning or evening…add a little tech to your self-care toolkit.

Who knew feeling good could be so easy?
