Homesteading Update: Garden Gratitude & 2021 Experiments

11/28/2021

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

As fitting for this year, our weekend didn't quite go as planned due to weather... I had hoped to finish cleaning up the garden and spread all (or most of) the wood chips, as we usually place our new hay bales out in the garden this time of year.

Alas, with rain and chilly, windy, snowy conditions, I didn't get to spend much time outside at all - although I did bundle up and move the chicken pasture to it's winter location. Next weekend looks better, and I will just have to try to get as much done as possible while I can! The snow has already flown a few times, so despite our long, warm, fall, winter is definitely upon us now.

However, I thought it would be a good time to do a quick update on the homestead activities for 2021, as well as a few notes about gratitude as I usually share this time of year...

[Video] How to Think Like a Monk for Peace & Purpose

In our modern, fast-paced culture, it seems we are encouraged to always be chasing happiness. The next shiny object surely will be the answer we seek (or so the marketers tell us). In this never-ending quest for peace, happiness, and balance, we often neglect or ignore the very things that would give them to us. Instead of focusing on building strong and fulfilling relationships, serving others, or appreciating the wondrous world around us, we constantly chase after the images in our minds of what "success" should look like, or what accomplishments we should be achieving.

This is a vicious cycle, which not only leads to stress, dissatisfaction and unhappiness, but which can also impact our physical and mental health.

I have greatly been enjoying the book Think Like a Monk, by Jay Shetty, and I was excited to find an interview with him to share with you. In this episode of The Doctor's Farmacy, Dr. Mark Hyman talks with Jay about how to uncover your true passion and purpose, and live a life that is deeply meaningful to you, rather than constantly chasing an image that you believe is expected of you by others.

During their conversation, Jay shares important lessons he learned during his years as a practicing monk, and how we can apply them in our own lives to help reduce stress, improve our relationships, overcome negative thoughts and habits, and tap into the deep well of calm, peace, and purpose that we all hold within us. Check it out below!

In recent decades, anxiety has become the most common mental health issue of our time. If you don't suffer from anxiety, you probably know someone who does. Women (most commonly), men, teens, and even children may experience anxiety on a regular basis.

Anxiety is your body's natural response to a threat - either real or perceived. But in today's world, anxiety has become a chronic condition. There can be many causes for anxiety, but chronic anxiety is typically manifested in an imbalance of brain chemicals.

What causes this imbalance is the subject of much debate, but there can be many factors - some of the most significant being related to diet. In fact, substantial amounts of research have found a close connection between gut health and anxiety (as well as other mental disorders). If you've been medicated for your anxiety and have never been told that your gut health may be a root cause, it may be time to take a closer look - and perhaps seek another doctor...

The upcoming Anxiety Summit will focus on the gut-brain connection, and delve into the research-based anxiety nutritional solutions and practical steps that you can use to determine your root causes, ease your anxiety and prevent it from coming back. The event is going on this week, and you can register here for free access. In the meantime, grab your copy of the free e-Guide below to discover 9 nutritional solutions for anxiety and improved gut health.
