Sharpen The Saw
What strengths do you rely on when the chips are down? What can you do to improve/hone these strengths? What things will you need to let go of to find more time to focus on your strengths? As 2023 ends we spend December reflecting on our accomplishments and where we need to shore ourselves up. As awakened men, we focus on six life pillars (relationships, career, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial well-being. Following the concepts of Stephen Covey, Dwight Eisenhower and a powerful 90-day action planner/journal take this time to make 2024 your best year yet.
Fun Winter Activities for Older Adults
As outdoor picnics and waterfront walks yield to winter, the season beckons with a host of delightful activities for family and friends. The Courtyards of Linden Pointe suggests crafting hot cocoa jars—a charming gift or comforting treat with layered ingredients like cocoa powder, powdered milk, sugar, salt, and marshmallows. Transforming leftover jars into DIY snow globes adds a personal touch with distilled water, glycerin, glitter, and perhaps a mounted photo. Embrace the warmth of card or board game nights, fostering laughter and connection. Baking classic winter sugar cookies becomes a joyous bonding experience, whether with family, friends, or neighbors. Winter offers endless opportunities for shared enjoyment and creativity.
Handling The Holidays
Whatever holiday you celebrate this season, even if you’re surrounded by family and friends, it can be stressful.

Bioenergetics uses computerized testing and treatment to effectively determine and treat any imbalance or weakness in the body that is preventing you from achieving both optimal stress management and improved health. This holiday season, make sure that stress isn’t an unwanted gift that you can’t give back.

Preparing for your Quit Date
A new year is upon us, which makes it a great time to quit smoking. A little preparation can go a long way in ensuring your success. When planning your quit date, it’s helpful to remind yourself of the reasons you want to do this in the first place. There are major reasons to quit, such as reducing your risk for disease and cancer. What are your other reasons? Write down your top 10. Before your quit day, you may want to think of rewards you can give yourself, as well as activities which you can turn to if cravings get bad. Studies tell us that psychological preparation plays a large role in the likelihood of success with smoking cessation.
