The holidays are a busy time, which can make it hard to stick to your healthy lifestyle and wellness goals. We all feel a little overwhelmed during the holiday season with the pressure to be happy and social.

It is a time of year that you do not have to lean into the hype and the traditions but rather you can find your own way to the new year!

Transforming Self-Sabotage into Self-Mastery by Brianna Wiest
Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Vibroacoustic Therapy for Dementia
The prevalence of dementia is increasing with the ever-growing population of older adults. Non-pharmacological, vibration and sound-based interventions were reported by the Lancet Commission in 2020 to be the first-choice approach for managing the behavioural and psychological symptoms. Vibroacoustic Therapy is a therapeutic approach that harnesses the power of vibration and sound to alleviate some of the cognitive and emotional challenges faced by individuals living with dementia. Vibroacoustic therapy can trigger positive emotional responses, evoke memories, and enhance communication among dementia patients. It offers a non-pharmacological complement to manage symptoms and enhance the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers, fostering a sense of connection and comfort during a challenging journey.
Why Drink Red Rooibos?
Red rooibos tea offers a plethora of health benefits and sensory delights. It’s naturally caffeine-free, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a soothing, non-stimulating beverage. Rich in antioxidants, it bolsters the immune system and helps combat oxidative stress, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Red rooibos is also appreciated for its potential to lower blood pressure and promote good cholesterol levels. Its anti-inflammatory properties may alleviate allergy symptoms and skin conditions. Furthermore, the tea is a source of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc, benefiting bone health. Beyond health advantages, its earthy, slightly sweet flavor makes it a comforting and satisfying drink.
Coping with Senior Isolation
One of the biggest issues for seniors is that their social circles begin to shrink as the years go by. Friends, spouses, and family members move or pass away. Even those who still live close may be inaccessible due to limited mobility, especially once a senior can no longer drive safely. Age-related changes in one’s physical condition, such as hearing loss, can make it so difficult to communicate that it doesn’t seem worth the effort anymore. Local senior centers or agencies are great resources providing home-visitation services as well as community transportation and outings. Do you have a loved one who may be lonely? Try to put in more effort to spend time with them.
