Yes, this is the most wonderful time of the year, but it can be very stressful, too for a variety of reasons. I prefer not to get caught up in shopping and buying frenzy (sorry retailers), but giving more of myself. For me that is the true meaning of the season. Since this is the season of giving—I’d like to share with you some remarkable health benefits of giving from the heart.
Self-love is not only seen as core component of our emotional well-being, it is also as a protective factor that contributes to better health and positive social behavior.

It is seen to actively promote healthy functioning as reflected in life aspects such as achievements, success, satisfaction, and the ability to cope with diseases like cancer and heart disease.
A few days ago, I participated in a webinar and was interviewed by the owner of a great organic company Miessence (www.miessence.com), Narelle Chenery.
