The real question in life is not, “What do you do for work?” but rather, “What do you do for fun?”

It’s Sunday! Traditionally a day of rest, my Sunday posts are dedicated to “Vitamin R.” In naturopathic philosophy, Vitamin R means rest, recreation, relaxation and rejuvenation. It is just as essential to good health as deep sleep, exercise, meaningful relationships and healthy food. Each Sunday I post about things that help me rest and rejuvenate. It is very important to cultivate these habits and hobbies. I cannot tell you how many of my patients draw a total blank when I ask them: “What do you do for fun? Or for “you time”? Or as a hobby?” Make sure you have an answer to these questions.

My “quarantine craft” was to take up Diamond Painting! This slow craft eventually produces beautiful paintings, one small gem at a time. It gives me a break from my busy schedule and lets my mind rest. I found it a delightful way to have a creative endeavor and a little “me time.” Addressing self-care, creativity and mental well-being is just one way that I treat the whole person.
