Heart to Heart

February is American Heart Month. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute this year has given a theme to each day of the week for us to have some fun, while taking care of our hearts.

  • #SelfcareSunday Set yourself up for success by creating a self-care checklist for the week
  • #MindfulMonday Know your heart stats, including blood pressure numbers
  • #TastyTuesday Enjoy a delicious, heart-healthy recipe
  • #WellnessWednesday Get your heart into your wellness routine
  • #TreatYourselfThursday Treat yourself to some fun and relaxation
  • #FollowFriday Share who inspires you to live a heart-healthy lifestyle
  • #SelfieSaturday Post a selfie with your favorite way to take care of your heart

Daily self-care goes a long way toward protecting your heart 🙂 Today is Sunday, let’s do this!

Here is a link to a Heart Health Awareness 2021 Special Report encouraging us to keep up heart health, especially during the pandemic. https://www.everydayhealth.com/heart-health/special-report/

Heart to heart conversations are quite a gift. Family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and our animals – the gift of real conversation, being kind and expressing gratitude is long remembered.

Sometimes those heart to heart conversations include topics about mortality we would prefer to avoid. While we would all prefer to avoid the topic all together, I’m here to report taking care of the business of life while we’re able and healthy is much preferred to the avoidance.

The Living Planner is here to help you understand what’s at risk, what you gain and how to approach this with realism, humor and compassion. For additional information about how I work, check out my website: https://thelivingplanner.com or Email me: Lynn@thelivingplanner.com.

Happy heart to heart month. Stay well –Lynn
