Hello Followers,

Happy Tuesday!

Dan and I are not addicted to herbs; we are just herb-tivated!

HAHA, I felt a joke was needed.

Herbal medicine is the positive embrace of self-care and well-being.

So, again do not underestimate the power of spices and herbs in promoting health.

For example:

 Another benefit of rosemary works as an effective cognitive stimulant, helpful for improving memory and mental focus.

It is even good at increasing brainwave activities and protecting neurodegenerative conditions again such as Alzheimer’s disease.

In a 2012 study published in Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology, researchers found that exposure to rosemary aroma can improve cognitive performance and mood.

A 2003 study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience also highlights the memory-boosting properties of rosemary.

How to use:

Breathe in the aroma of rosemary oil by adding 2 or 3 drops of this oil to your handkerchief or room diffuser.

You can also start drinking rosemary tea made from fresh or dried leaves.

To make the tea, add 1 or 1½ teaspoons of the herb to one cup of hot water, cover it, and let it steep for 5 minutes.

Tomorrow’s topic is how the healing power of rosemary can improve brain and neurological health.

Continuing today, Life’s a Journey, not a Destination.

Feeling disconnected from affirmations that just do not land?

This guided affirmation meditation introduces a gentler way to shift your mindset, not by forcing belief, but by asking empowering questions that open the door to change.

In just 5 minutes, you will slow down, tune in, and begin to rewire your thought patterns with ease and curiosity.

💬 What are askfirmations?

They are questions like:

Why do things keep working out for me?

Designed to invite your subconscious to find proof, not resistance.

This is a different kind of meditation, one that meets you where you are, and gently points you toward where you are going.

🧘‍♀️ Perfect for morning clarity, emotional resets, or any time you want to align with a more empowering inner voice.

Until Wednesday, in the presence of herbs, positivity dances with joy.
