So many of us wish we could get more use out of our gym memberships, but with hectic lives and unpredictable schedules, it's not always so easy. If you find it too hard to get out of your house every day for a workout, why not bring the gym to you? Creating a gym in your home can save time and money -- there's no need to own the same heavy, expensive equipment found at a standard gym. You may be surprised at how easy it is to tailor a home gym to fit you personal needs. All you need are a few tangible pieces and a motivational vibe! Below are five necessities to start building your home gym. Atmosphere: Think about what you like most about the gym and figure out how to bring some of that atmosphere to your own space. If natural light is a must have for you, find a space upstairs with great windows to create the look you want.

Tips for Driving in the Snow

Be Careful Out There Vermont! As Vermonters, we are sure you all know how to drive it the snow! But...just in case you know so new drivers, transplants (those new to Vermont), or Faux-monters (Fake Vermonters) we thought we would share a few helpful tips on this beautiful snowy day!! Please Share!! Stay home. Only go out if necessary. Even if you can drive well in bad weather, it’s better to avoid taking unnecessary risks by venturing out.  Drive slowly. Always adjust your speed down to account for lower traction when driving on snow or ice.  Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Apply the gas slowly to regain traction and avoid skids. Don’t try to get moving in a hurry and take time to slow down for a stoplight. Remember: It takes longer to slow down on icy roads.  Increase your following distance to five to six seconds. This increased margin of safety will provide the longer distance needed if you have to stop.  Know your brakes. Whether you have antil...

Morning Mindfulness

How we wake up and start the day can greatly impact how the rest of our day goes. If you're looking for some way to start your day off more relaxed and mindful, try adding these into your routine! 1.) First Sounds Starting off the day with a loud alarm that makes you tense is a startling way to start the day. Instead, choose an alarm with soothing noises - chimes, bells, or relaxing music. This will allow you to slowly adjust from sleep to being alert. 2.) Hydrate Before Coffee When we wake up, our bodies are dehydrated. Instead of reaching for a cup of coffee first thing, try drinking a glass of water, then move onto the coffee or tea. 3.) Observe Nature Instead of reaching for technology first thing, go outside and take in the sky or trees. Watch the sunrise while you sip your coffee or tea. Then move on to start your day. 4.) Get Ready the Night Before Instead of rushing around in the morning, try packing your lunch, organizing your work bag, and setting out your ...

Bring More Self-Compassion to Your Day

-
Image
Cultivating self-compassion involves developing a kind and understanding attitude toward oneself, especially during times of failure or personal difficulty. According to recent research, practicing self-compassion includes three core elements: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Self-kindness is about being warm and understanding toward ourselves rather than overly self-critical. Recognizing common humanity reminds us that everyone experiences setbacks, helping to reduce feelings of isolation. Lastly, mindfulness enables us to acknowledge our thoughts and emotions without over-identifying with them, allowing us to process them more effectively. Practicing these elements regularly can help reshape our inner dialogue, making it more supportive and resilient. Self-compassion is closely linked to mental health benefits, such as reduced levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. Practicing self-compassion decreases self-judgment, helping individuals be more forgiving of their i...
