A great list. thanks for posting this, i hope it helps others. i also would like to add that a proper diet consisting of green vegetables consumed daily would fix a large percentage of peoples issues. Dont believe me? try it for a week or two.
Hi RG, you are absolutely correct–a proper diet is essential for good health, both physical and mental. Thanks for your comment.
Great blog Cathy, love the tie in with #BellLetsTalk ! I’m going to take the dog for a run right now.
Thanks Reagan, glad you enjoyed the post and good for you for braving the cold! Seriously though, I find exercise a great way to de-stress and clear my mind.
