The New Year’s resolution often is defined by health and wellness. Everyone wants to lose weight, start running or cut down on sugar in their diets. But these resolutions can fall flat.

Acceptance of Stress as a Form of Stress Relief by Sifu Ed D’Urso
The key to good health and wellness is found in our relationship to stress, not in the elimination of it. Conversely, the key to poor health is also found in our relationship to stress. A person’s ability to adapt to stress, while under stress, is the difference between feeling exhausted and feeling energized. Even seeking relief from stress, while on the surface can seem very inviting and sane, becomes a danger when it is the first reaction and deadly as the only response. If our response to stress is not empowering our ability to adapt to the stress, in real-time, it may be a part of what is ailing us. If we could adapt to the stress, we could harness it as a resource for greater health and wellness, and we would be relieved of dreading it. Stress is to a person what water is to a fish. Acceptance is key.

“I believe that it is our birthright to live our lives as the inherently vibrant, creative, passionate, energized beings we were made to be and teach this to our children by being living examples.

Simple Strategies for Serenity by Marsha Mandel
When we reflect on the times in our lives when we have felt a comfortable sense of calmness, we can see that our thoughts and bodies were aligned with this peaceful feeling. This is our natural state – for our thoughts, feelings and actions to correspond with each other. If we think of times when we’ve felt angry in the past, we can notice our thoughts and actions were angry as well. If we think of times when we felt anxious or worried, we recall that our muscles were tense, our breathing was shallow, our hearts were beating quickly, and our thoughts were likely focused on worst-case scenarios.
Holistic Doctor Offers Natural Alternatives for Sleep and Anxiety
Local holistic doctor John Lichtenstein, MD, knows that millions of Americans are dealing with sleep deprivation and anxiety disorders. “However,” he shares, “sleeping medications can be dangerous on many occasions. Some of them may cause serious memory loss in a percentage of patients. Also, anti-anxiety drugs, such as benzodiazepines, can be extremely addicting and cause rebound anxiety. Benzodiazepines can also cause a fatal withdrawal if stopped suddenly. Sleep medications and anti-anxiety medications can also cause drowsiness and unclear thinking.”
