There is voluntary movement like picking up an item and involuntary movement such as posture. Postural movement is a result of long-term patterns, emotion, and tissue health. It is hard to change your posture just from telling yourself to “stand up straight”. You can do exercises to strengthen weak areas and stretches but you can’t just think “stand up straight” and expect to be able to maintain that “better posture”. Rolfing helps to reset your body’s “neutral”. With Rolfing, finding good posture and efficient movement becomes easier and more natural which allows standing up straight to just happen naturally.

Strong relationships are built on the small moments we often overlook. When your partner does something thoughtful—making you a cup of tea, hugging you, or helping with a chore—pause to notice it. Then, go one step further and let them know what it meant to you: “Thank you for making dinner. It helped me feel cared for after a long day.” Expressing both appreciation and its emotional impact reinforces the behaviours you value while helping your partner feel seen and appreciated. Small moments of gratitude, shared consistently, create stronger emotional connection and greater relationship satisfaction.

Do you floss your teeth? Flossing is an activity that you should not neglect. It is as important to floss every day as it is to brush your teeth. Brushing alone can’t reach the bacteria in the tight spaces between your teeth and under the gum line. Proper flossing helps remove the plaque and debris that adhere to your teeth and gums. It also helps to control bad breath by removing the decaying food that may be stuck between your teeth. Make it a habit to floss at the end of the day. Your mouth will be cleaner, and your dental hygienist will be thrilled!

Even if you know you need to update your Will, it’s easy to find yourself letting your documents collect dust on the shelf. The good news is that going through major changes in your life doesn’t necessarily invalidate your will. The bottom line is: If your Will isn’t up-to-date, your end-of-life wishes may not be fulfilled in the way you would have liked. Your wishes may also have changed since you wrote your will. To avoid these pitfalls and the costs associated with updating your will, contact us today to order your free Estate Planning Kit which includes a Legal Will Guide.

It is important to wear sunscreen on exposed skin every month of the year. The UVB, or sunburn rays, are less intense in the fall and winter but can still damage your skin and cause skin thinning, skin cancer, wrinkles, and brown spots. A sunscreen of SPF 50 is recommended when you are outdoors, and it should be reapplied every two hours. If you are inside and away from windows, a reapplication may not be necessary. Be sure to use a generous amount! If you have never used sunscreen, it is not too late to start. It can make a big difference at any age.
