We had an amazing Lunch and Learn yesterday with Dr. LaTina Epps Thomas. I think she inspired the room to learn more, get healthy, and destress. You guys, it was so good that we convinced her to come have a follow up lunch and learn. She is open to a topic of our choosing. We tossed around the idea of natural vs synthetic… Please let me know your thoughts and we will get something planned.
My major take-aways that I would like to apply for my family:
- I want to buy her book – The Health Coach Collective (she will have it at our November meeting)
- Superwoman is a myth. She may save lives and look good in tights but she never had to go to the grocery store.
- ‘Far more is caught than is taught’ – While we busy ourselves and pile more than we can handle on our shoulders, little eyes are watching and will mimic our behavior when they grow.
- Be ok with how you are feeling. Don’t judge yourself or others for the feelings you or they have.
- Youtube a breathing exercise (4-7-8 breathing) and practice it daily.
- BUY ON GUARD!
- Just because it says natural doesn’t mean it is natural with what you thought you were buying.
- Be unapologetic, set boundaries, find what makes me happy, and find relationships that help me through life.
Dr. LaTina Epps Thomas included this in her email:
