I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the idea of health as a whole package—body, mind, spirit; work, play, learning; self, family, community—so many triangles, so much to balance!

Despite our best-laid holiday plans, schedules change, children cry, and cookies burn. This December, how about trying an experiment? Wherever you notice an expectation of what you want to happen, replace it with wonder at what is happening around you.

November kicks off a season of holidays, celebrations, and parties. It’s easy to forget about regular exercise and healthy eating during this busy time of year, but we can use this time to practice cultivating balance.
