Five Healthy Hacks to Help Keep You Well This Winter
Although colds and flu can occur anytime, winter is when these ailments begin to strike more often.

With the added challenge of dealing with Covid-19 this year, it’s more important than ever to take care of yourself and reduce your chances of getting sick. And even if you do get sick – good self-care will improve your ability to recover more quickly and easily. Many people are also suffering from anxiety about the threat of Covid-19.

I also think that batting in baseball is a good analogy for mindfulness.
