Of Habits & Hope

It’s May, and after having hit the snooze button way too many times, the world--or at least our little corner of it--is waking up from its winter slumber. Things that are new and green are making their way to the surface, reaching for the light.

It’s the same with us.

There are things, fresh and tender and alive with promise, just below the surface, aching for sunshine. Maybe it’s finally putting pen to paper and writing the poetry that lives in your soul. Maybe it’s finally putting one step in front of the other to start walking everyday. Maybe it’s finally putting to rest an old habit of negative self-talk to embrace compassion.
​
Whatever it is, Spring reminds us that the barren status quo doesn’t have to be, on either count. It’s a time to look with fresh eyes at the habits in our lives--to honor the ones that honor us, to release the ones that no longer serve, and to consider with optimism the beauty that can blossom if we let one or two of those green shoots take firmer root and grow. 

​We invite you to join us this month in a conversation about habits--how to celebrate them, let them go, or nurture new ones. Stay tuned for tips, fun facts, and inspiration--and don’t forget to share your own stories, ideas, and tips with us by tagging us at #chronicwellness and #cwquakertown.
