I hope you’re staying cool and enjoying the summer! Have you ever wondered whether chronic stress is accelerating the aging process? (1) If so, then watch the http://yes2next.com/ podcast, where host April Hattori interviews me about how stress affects nearly every aspect of our health—and what we can do about it. In our interview, “Is Stress Making You Age Faster?,” we discuss how chronic stress can influence inflammation, hormone balance, brain function, immune health, cancer, heart disease and other health issues, and we give practical strategies you can begin using right away. ▶️ Watch my interview with April Hattori here: https://youtu.be/iYcq-Ar21sw A Great Resource for Gentle Movement April is also the author of the wonderful new book, 10-Minute Chair Yoga Exercises for Seniors, an excellent guide filled with simple, easy-to-follow exercises that make movement accessible to almost everyone, which help increase flexibility, strength, balance, and mobility. Chair yoga has also been found to decrease stress. (2) (3) (4) For additional tools and tips about how to manage and mitigate stress, check out my book, Don’t Mess with Stress™—it’s an easy read with simple actions to optimize your resilience and well-being. Remember: Improving our health doesn’t always require dramatic changes. Small, consistent steps—such as doing chair yoga—can have a profound impact on how we feel today and how we age tomorrow.

It’s been a few weeks since my last Newsletter— Thinking of You Before You Set Any Goals This Year. It’s easy to forget the questions I posed when they are not front and center: Are you stretching yourself in a way that feels healthy? Are you focusing on what truly matters to you?

It made me realize how rarely many of us allow ourselves deep rest unless we are forced into it.(1) (2) There is a difference between healing from illness and true restorative rest. Deep rest isn’t just sleep—it’s a state where the...
