It's Mental Health Awareness Month and it is getting more and more evident how important this facet of our health truly is... we have all been through a lot this past year!
How can we help each other? Here are some simple tips you can take to help raise awareness about mental health in your community and/or circle of friends:

- Talk with everyone you know, ask how people are doing if you notice they are down.
- Educate yourself about mental illness, raising your own awareness helps your ability to recognize the signs.
- Focus on positive language in your conversations and on your social media posts.

Imagine how freeing it would be to see our journey through life as more than just time slipping away in the pursuit of youth and accumulation of possessions. Can you see yourself in a world where your beauty IS your age and experience? This presentation looks at moving from the generally linear perspective we have on aging in the West to the ancient sciences of the East to uncover the incredible cycles of life. From the birth of spring to the fire of summer, the refinement of autumn, and finally to the quiet of winter, each season of life offers us different gifts and challenges tailored to allow us the opportunity to “grow up”. What do I mean by growing up? For me, growing up means that we become more centered, beautiful, and valuable to the world.

Enjoy the journey as Alison Lively, Certified Health Coach and co-creator of the Best Years Group, takes you through each season with a fresh new perspective on aging.

Please share with anyone who stresses about their age or would like a fresh and positive outlook on our lives .

We’ve found that we need our Januarys to reflect on what has passed, to rest and restore for what’s to come, and to revise and re-tune our intentions. So, we really don’t get started with our new year until February!

Regardless of when you start it, every new year is like a blank book. It’s one more chance to write a beautiful new story for yourself.

Here are a few of our favorite quotes for reflection as we move forward:

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” -- Oprah Winfrey

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” -- E. E. Cummings

“What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t even happened yet.” -- Anne Frank

What story will you write for yourself in 2021?
