THE ALLURE OF HOT SPRINGS
EARTH’S GEOTHERMAL WONDER
•
Radiant Skin: Nitrogen, silica, and other minerals are excellent for exfoliating skin. Less Stress: As the warm water melts stress away, the magnesium and lithium improve your mood. Pain Reduction: Sulfate helps reduce pain, while hot water soothes muscles and reduces inflammation.
Soaking in the heated waters of a hot spring is an experience you’ll want again and again once you try it. And there is much more to this geothermal wonder than meets the eye. The naturally heated, mineral-rich water nourishes the body and mind, allowing you to shed stress as you easily float on the surface. HOW HOT SPRINGS WORK Hot springs are heated by geothermal energy. Water meets volcanic hot rocks, resulting in boiling mineral-rich water. Regions far away from volcanic activity can also have hot springs; those occur when a spring runs so deep that it hits rocks close to the Earth’s crust. These rocks are naturally very hot, which then heats the water. HOW MINERALS AND HEAT IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH The water in hot springs contains a plethora of minerals, so the water can be healthy and
rejuvenating, providing benefits for your skin, cardiovascular system, and more. Every spring has a unique mineral makeup and varied health effects, but here are four of the most common.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND HOT SPRINGS The western part of the U.S. has a higher concentration of hot springs, but if you look hard enough, you can find one anywhere. Some hot springs are deep in the mountains, so you’ll have to hike in. They often have specular views and are worth the journey. If you don’t want to trek up a mountain, you’ll find many spas built around hot springs that offer amenities besides the spring, such as restaurants and saunas. So, the next time you’re traveling, locate the hot springs in your area and put a visit on your itinerary!

For business owners, how you view challenges and opportunities can profoundly impact your venture’s trajectory. One transformative perspective is the adoption of an abundance mindset. This approach, contrasted with the limiting scarcity mindset, opens the door to exponential growth and innovation. But what exactly is an abundance mindset , and how can business owners harness its power? WHAT IS AN ABUNDANCE MINDSET? First created by Stephen Covey, the author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” an abundance mindset is rooted in the belief that there are enough resources and successes to share with others. It’s characterized by a focus on possibilities and opportunities rather than limitations and obstacles. This perspective encourages openness, creativity, and positive thinking, which can create a more expansive approach to business strategy and operations. For business owners, shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset means moving from a “zero-sum game” mentality, where one person’s gain is another’s
loss, to embracing the potential for mutual growth and success. Here’s how you can adopt this perspective.
CULTIVATE GRATITUDE AND GENEROSITY. Begin by acknowledging and appreciating what you already have. Gratitude shifts focus from what’s lacking to the abundance present in your life and business. Coupled with generosity, such as sharing knowledge or resources, it encourages a positive business culture. EMBRACE RISK AND INNOVATION. An abundance mindset sees failures and setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. It encourages taking calculated risks and innovating, understanding that the path to growth involves navigating uncharted territories with confidence and optimism. INVEST IN RELATIONSHIPS. Building strong, collaborative relationships with employees, customers, and other stakeholders is central to an abundance mindset. Viewing others as partners in success rather than competitors or obstacles can lead to synergistic growth and opportunities.
