Positive attitude sprinkled with gratitude! It is a good time to turn our attention to our overall well-being with the hectic holiday season growing near. It is tempting to loosen our hold on our positive thinking and give in to stress. During this month of Thanksgiving, let us take note for all that we have to be grateful for, forgive ourselves and others.

This month, our main article comes from the Mayo Clinic titled, "Stress: Unhealthy Response To The Pressures of Life," speaks of what unnecessary stress can do to our health. Enjoy our additional reads which feature articles titled, "How To Forgive Your Enemies," by Erin O'Donnell, explaining how long standing disputes can stress you out and cause disease and do not miss our article titled, "Take Control of Your Brain Health by Thinking Positive". - AARP.

Finally, enjoy this month's tips from our leading wellness expert Dr. Andrew Weil, discussing "How important it is to connect with ourselves, others, and the environment".

We hope you continue to find inspiration from this reading.
As always, stay healthy, and keep discovering your rhythm.

Chocolate lovers, take heart: A Japanese study finds that flavonoid-rich dark chocolate can improve coronary blood flow.
