Many seniors can benefit from spending some time outside each day. Take a walk over to the Golden
Circle when the weather is good. Be sure to dress warmly, wear comfortable shoes with good grips,
and get out your walking poles if you have some! Those who can’t make it out can open the blinds or
curtains in their home and sit near a window. You could even arrange to have one of our Brokered
Workers help you get more Vitamin D by trimming the trees or bushes that are keeping light from
entering your home!

Electro-magnetic Fields (EMFs)
Low-level radiation is one type of EMF exposure and is emitted from cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, computers, and even power lines. Some scientists report that this type of EMF exposure can cause sleep disturbances, including insomnia; headache; depression and depressive symptoms; changes in memory; and lack of concentration. You can reduce the risk by using the speakerphone function on your cell phone instead of holding it to your ear. Charge your phone in a different room at night, or put it on airplane/flight mode while you sleep. Products are also available that counteract harmful frequencies using healthy ones.
Communication Rule
Many misunderstandings and conflicts arise because of poor communication. Here is something to remember. Communication is made up of 7% spoken words; 38% of voice and tone; and 53% body language. The Enneagram is a tool that helps you be present in the moment – speaking and listening with your quiet mind (words), open heart (tone) and grounded body. How calm and open you are, can be far more important than the actual words you speak. Remembering this will not only help you be better understood, but it will also help build your relationships with your family members and coworkers!
