Balanced Bodies, Balanced Brains

People often ask, "Where do you get all the hats?"  The funny thing is, at this point, they sort of "find me!"  :-)    For example, the hat I wore today was one someone was cleaning up and throwing away.  One man's TRASH is Mrs. Broam's TREASURE.  It has equal parts denim cloth, butterflies, tiger print, black and white checked, etc. and we talked today about how you can be all of the above (denim--comfortable,  butterflies--love the outdoors, tiger print--WILD, black and white checked--organized and tidy), but you can do too much of any good thing.  It's easy to OVERDO and be outta balance.

Happy Kid Habit #7 is Sharpen the Saw.  It's a reminder that you have to spend (1)  time with friends and family, (2) time to be active and move your body, (3) time to challenge your thinking and exercise your mind and (4) time for yourself, to calm and renew.

I purchased a t-shirt last week from Global Family Yoga with the words, "Don't just do something .  .  . sit there!"

"A relaxed body is healthy, vibrant, and feels great. A relaxed mind is creative, powerful, and unlimited. Stress reeks havoc on the body and the mind. So it is important to have tools you can use to reduce stress." Mira Binzen, founder of Global Family Yoga.

Find BALANCE in your life.
