Your October odyssey.

Tap into the powerful health benefits of happiness and pure delight.

Remember the sense of wonder you felt when you were a child?  It’s still there, no matter what your age, just waiting to be re-awakened by you.

This month, we invite you to actively seek wonder and joy.  Visit an aquarium, a zoo, a park— or simply look up to admire the moon and stars.

Happiness improves well being and may even help you live longer.  It can work to reduce anxiety, protect your heart, improve your immunity, lower your blood pressure, reduce pain, and help you better manage the challenges of diabetes.

So make time for the things that make you happy.  Our quick planner and tracker – the Diabetes Gladiator Keep On Tracking calendar – provides just enough room to write out a few ideas to spark your enthusiasm and engage your sense of wonder.

Your monthly checklist.

Something important happens when you schedule a specific time to accomplish a goal or a task: you are more likely to do it.

This month, focus your attention on happiness each and every day.  Happiness not only improves your outlook, it is the spark of life that sustains all else.

Putting your attention on joy also encourages you to take better care of your health: eat more natural foods, lose a few pounds, improve your glucose control, get together with friends, stay more physically active…you get the idea!
