5 Reasons to Meditate

I try to meditate, I can't always clear my brain out

though between being bipolar and ADHD.

There are all kinds of benefits to doing it along

with different apps now. Below are 5 reasons

you should start trying to meditate.

Understanding your pain:

Mental pain and anxiety are a background noise that

can underlie much of what we do. Here's a chance to

see firsthand what's causing it.

Lower stress:

There's a lot of evidence these days that excess stress

causes a lot of illnesses and makes other illnesses worse.

Mindfulness decreases stress.

Connect better:

Ever find yourself staring blankly at a friend, lover, child

and you've no idea what they are saying? Mindfulness

helps you give them your full attention.

Improve focus:

It can be frustrating to have our mind stray off what

we're doing and be pulled in 6 directions.

Meditation hones our innate ability to focus.

Reduce brain chatter:

The nattering, chattering voice in our head seems never

to leave us alone. Isn't it time we gave it a little break?

You can't learn to block all the noise out your first try,

they say to meditate every day for at least 10 minutes.

Find yourself a quiet spot and use an app to start with

whether it guides you or just gives you soothing sounds to listen to.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
