Yellow flowers have a remarkable impact on mental health, offering both visual and psychological benefits. Their bright, sunny hue is known to evoke feelings of happiness and positivity, counteracting stress and anxiety. Yellow symbolizes hope and optimism, often uplifting the spirit and enhancing mood. Studies suggest that exposure to vibrant colors, especially yellow, can stimulate mental activity and boost energy levels. Flowers like sunflowers, daisies, and marigolds not only beautify spaces but also create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Incorporating yellow flowers into daily life, whether at home or work, can be a simple yet effective way to promote emotional well-being.

Food to Never Feed Your Dog
All pet owners are aware of the dangers of chocolate. But have you heard of these ones? Keep your pup away from the following: 1. Onions – Plants of this family, including chives and garlic, are not suitable for dogs. Eating these could cause your animal to develop anemia, weakness, rapid breathing and even death. 2. Grapes or Raisins – This fruit can cause severe liver damage and kidney failure. It’s been proven that even a few grapes can potentially be fatal for your pet. 3. Xylitol – Is found in gum, baked goods, and anything else that is sugar substituted. It is extremely toxic to dogs. Even small amounts can cause seizures, liver failure or even death.
Practice Positivity to Increase Happiness
The magic ratio of positive to negative thoughts and/or interactions for maximum well-being is 5:1. Unfortunately, we naturally have a negativity bias and are nowhere near this ideal number. This built-in bias is normal, but not always helpful. Some simple ways to increase our positive thoughts include reframing (for example – instead of thinking it’s raining today, so it will be miserable, think – it’s raining, the perfect opportunity to spend more time indoors and do XYZ). Other ways to increase positivity include connecting with others to hear different perspectives, viewing challenges as opportunities to learn, and finally, practicing gratitude daily. What will you do to increase your happiness?

5-Ingredient Date Snickers
20 dates – pitted; 1/2 c peanut butter; 3 tbsp peanuts; 1 1/4 c dark chocolate chips; 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Line a plate with parchment paper. With a small knife, make a lengthwise slit in each date, slicing about halfway down. Fill each date with peanut butter & sprinkle peanuts on top. Place dates in the freezer to firm up until completely solid- approximately one hour. Add chocolate chips into a double boiler over medium low heat, stirring as the chocolate melts. Add oil if desired to make the chocolate thinner. Drop the dates one by one into the melted chocolate, flipping to get it entirely coated. Let cool in fridge & enjoy!
Music Therapy & Cerebral Palsy
A diagnosis of cerebral palsy can result in many different challenges. However, music therapy can help! Although other types of therapy may seem difficult, music is so naturally fun and motivational that it can help improve various developmental skills. For example, reaching for or playing an instrument can improve flexibility and dexterity, improving gross and fine motor skills! Music can also ease muscle tension, and decrease stress. The rhythmic nature of music can help with gait, and singing can help them learn how to control their vocal muscles. This can improve communication abilities and increase self-esteem.
Hiring a Psychic Medium
Considering hiring a psychic medium? It’s a deeply personal decision rooted in seeking connection, closure, or guidance. Before taking the plunge, research thoroughly. Look for mediums with verifiable testimonials and ethical practices. Be realistic about expectations; readings are interpretations, not guarantees. You may want to prepare specific questions but remain open to unexpected information. A reputable medium will foster a safe and comfortable environment, respecting your beliefs and boundaries. Trust your intuition – don’t hesitate to disengage if something feels off. Ultimately, a psychic medium can offer comfort and perspective but should never replace professional advice or decision-making.
