Words of Wellness Wisdom
from Susan Greeley, MS, RDN,
National Director, Wellness Services
Long days of summer are right around the corner, and I am sure the thought of that alone evokes wonderful, relaxed feelings in all of us! As I write this, I cannot help thinking that we are at a place and time where we all can benefit from "pausing for peace."
The word peace can be experienced in a single moment if we can pause, take a deep breath in, and close our eyes. That peaceful feeling then leads to more of the same, with the goal of reducing stress and even creating more compassion toward ourselves and the world. My wellness advice during May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month, and leading into Memorial Day weekend is to make time daily to pause for peace, both internally and projected outward to the world.
As always, I want to point out the wonderful (and I hope stress relieving) events we have lined up in June and July, and please do take advantage of fresh, local, seasonal fruits and vegetables this summer to help you feel good both mentally and physically!
Read on below and mark your calendars for the upcoming SENS events you won't want to miss. To help you keep your meals light and bright, make some easy summer salads like the strawberry spinach salad below just in time for strawberry season.
Happy spring and summer start to all!
