Preparing for the Impending Holiday Season

11/6/2017

November marks the beginning of the holiday season rush. We are on the cusp of a cacophony of holiday music, tables full of filling feasts, and an overflow of holiday advertising and family cards in our mailboxes. Carols, candles, consuming of all kinds are commonly associated with this time of the year. For some, the holidays symbolize a time of joy, community, food and fun, while for others it is a sharp reminder of what they have lost or a bitter acknowledgment of what they may have but do not want.

As we shift into gear, be mindful to recognize that we all carry different stories and experiences, all significant and meaningful.
Practice being mindful of never assuming, staying curious, and trying to be open- hearted to yourself and those around you.
Invite a lonely friend over for a friendsgiving feast.
Wrap a gift and give it to a local charity.
Make a contribution to a foundation that supports a cause you are passionate about.
Make a commitment to your health by attending your favorite activity throughout this time of gluttony.
Be gentle with yourself and the people around you. Attend to the positive and actively turn away from the negative.
What do you need this Holiday Season?
Check out this article to contemplate your holiday intentions.
Wishing warmth and contentment to you!

Feeling SAD?

11/6/2017

As I changed my clocks to fall back recently, I became aware of the shortening days and the decline of daylight. This shift in light and temperature can have substantial effects on one’s psyche. Some may have dracular-like tendencies to hibernate, isolate and feast, while others feel refreshed and revitalized by the crisp dark air, and then there are also people who are prone to seasonal affective disorder; SAD.

To help treat SAD naturally, try :

Make your environment sunnier and brighter. Open blinds, trim tree branches that block sunlight or add skylights to your home. Sit closer to bright windows while at home or in the office.
Get outside. Take a long walk, eat lunch at a nearby park, or simply sit on a bench and soak up the sun. Even on cold or cloudy days, outdoor light can help — especially if you spend some time outside within two hours of getting up in the morning.
Exercise regularly. Exercise and other types of physical activity help relieve stress and anxiety, both of which can increase SAD symptoms. Being more fit can make you feel better about yourself, too, which can lift your mood.
Go on a trip. Budget to fly somewhere sunny and warm before symptoms are too overwhelming.
Seek professional help when you need some extra guidance and a boost towards out of the darkness and into the light.

The Mayo Clinic defines SAD as “a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you're like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Less often, SAD causes depression in the spring or early summer. Treatment for SAD may includes light therapy (phototherapy), medications and psychotherapy.”

Hello Intimate Inquirers,
Fall is in full swing as daylight savings shifted our schedules last week. The trees are more vulnerable in their leafless fashion, the temperatures are plummeting and the impending holiday fever is being blown in from the rockies. As autumn swallows the last of the summer season, other large shifts are underway.

My Niwot Office for Intimate Inquiries will be out of commission for the month of November.

For the next several weeks, I will be seeing clients at a satellite office in North Boulder.
My new temporary address is 2475 Broadway Boulder, Colorado 80304.

My schedule during this time of construction will be:
Monday - Wednesday 2pm - 7pm
Thursday 10am - 5pm.
Contact me for directions, questions, and appointments.
Your patience and flexibility is appreciated during this time of business evolution. Thank you for adjusting with this temporary inconvenience.
