Thoughtful Choices
I don’t know about you, but I seem to be constantly making choices that impact my health. I wish I could say I always choose the best option, but that wouldn’t be true. Here’s an example. Every day as I stand in the line at our cafeteria and look at the delicious food served at the grill and then at the fresh items in the salad bar, I have an internal discussion (OK, sometimes it’s an argument) over which way to go. Something similar happens when I walk around our building. I’ll look at the bright, shiny elevator and then at the door that opens up to the staircase and think: S hould I take the stairs or zip up five floors with the single push of a button? I know I’ll feel great after taking the stairs, but I don’t always do it. I think you get the picture. We encounter moments of internal discussion that affect our health and well-being all the time. They often seemminor in the moment. But they can add up and make a major impact. This edition takes a look at some of those everyday choices. Our cover story focuses on a few simple lifestyle changes that can make you healthier — and maybe even happier in the process. Our article on stress offers ideas on how you can add calm into your life. And our story on gratitude explores the mental and physical benefits that a gratitude practice can provide. I hope this issue will provide you with some insights can help you make healthier choices. I know it did for me.
