I believe the research that shows the value of a gratitude practice. But there is also power in training our minds to focus on things that simply delight us. This weekend, I was delighted by gorgeous fall weather, time with friends and a single, perfect glass of wine.

Even though our brains are only a tiny % of our body weight, they consume 20% of our oxygen. Walking helps to increase the amount of oxygen we bring in, helping to nourish our brains. #WalkingFactWednesday#99Walks#JettiFit
Today is National Simplicity Day and it’s a great time to remember that your walking practice doesn’t need to be complicated. You don’t need the fanciest new shoes or a new route. You don't need a new playlist. Put on your tried and true shoes and go for a walk.
You don’t have to do much more than put one foot in front of the other to understand the benefits of walking. The payback is almost immediate with benefits for your mind, mood and body. Add Jetti Poles and those benefits increase exponentially. https://t.co/e7w23Pem0y
You know what they say ... motion is lotion! I love how the research continues to mount that movement is not only key to strength and longevity but also to reducing and preventing pain. This week, the NYT reports on the most recent study.
