Daily Expansion - A Communication from Donna Letier, CEO of Gardenuity
August: The Midpoint of Change and Wellness
August, with its crisp beginnings and warm endings, feels like a fresh start and a bittersweet farewell all at once. It's midway between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox. But August holds more than just astrological significance; it's National Wellness Month, a time to prioritize self-care, manage stress, and establish healthy routines.
A journey, not a destination, well-being is a continuous practice of daily habits that promotes productivity, enhances our health, and increases happiness. Neglecting self-care because of deadlines or family obligations can delay the much-needed refreshment. National Wellness Month was founded on the understanding that to achieve big things, we mustn't forget to nurture ourselves.
In today's fast-paced world, slowing down feels like a luxury, but neglecting this downtime can affect our health and well-being. That's where GARDENUITY comes into play, offering an invitation to get a little dirty and indulge in the simple joy of nature.
Whether you're eyeing a desktop garden for your "back to school" workspace, planning a gardening event with your colleagues, or preparing a fall patio garden teeming with seasonal favorites, GARDENUITY is there to guide you on your gardening journey. So, take a deep breath, relax, and "live into August" indulging in the serenity of the season.
Share with me your favorite August activities and routines by sending an email to [email protected]. Until then, I'll be in the garden, finding solace in the earth.
