it's contagious.
Have you ever noticed that standing next to someone who is laughing heartily feels really good?
Or sitting next to someone who is truly listening to you feels so good?
Intellectually we know our energy is contagious. We know that when we feel good, everyone (including our pets) in our home feels our goodness.
The same is true when you take good care of yourself, everyone around you feels it and is encouraged to do the same for themselves. We know we cannot change how our friends and family care for themselves. We cannot force our loved ones to come to yoga, drink lots of water and eat food that is not processed. We cannot change the staggering statistic below shared by Dr. Mark Hyman.
"One in two Americans has pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, and our mental health crisis affects us all and is in large part caused or worsened by our ultra-processed diet and environmental toxins.” Dr Mark Hyman
But we can invest in our own health and well-being and know that as we care for ourselves, everyone around us is inspired, on some level, to do the same.
McDonald’s spreads low vibe energy and disease with their ultra processed food, but we can spread deep breaths, down dogs, whole foods, generosity and presence. We can be the carriers of feeling good in our bodies and the stewards of fruits and veggies, well sourced meat and fish as well as bending back and folding forward. We can spread the contagious nature of being present in the moment and listening to our bodies!
