FEATURE Recipes for Wellness FAWCO members from across the globe share their own personal recipes for wellness Sleep After emerging from a second health crisis, I’ve discovered my recipe for wellness is sleep, gratitude, and creativity. Sleep makes us healthy, gratitude makes us happy, and creativity gives us purpose. Laughter yoga gives me a surge of creativity, and sharing laughter with others brings me tremendous joy! (Celeste Brown, AWC The Hague, FAWCO Counselor (President 2007- 2009)) Exercise My 100 year old mom insists it’s exercise and laughter for wellness and longevity. I’d add that it’s the journey too, not just the destination. To that end, I always insist on a relaxing view to help me gain serenity in an active life. (Suzanne Wheeler, FAUSA, FAWCO Foundation Counselor (President 2017-2019) 60
Getting a Physical The “physical me” finally got attention this past year. I got a complete physical to figure out where on the “imaginary to serious spectrum” my aches and pains were. (I have several things to “monitor,” but overall I’m good.) I found a diet that I am learning to live with, lost a lot of weight (no fad diets, it took 11 months) and now walk everyday. Feeling better physically has led to fewer worries. I got a haircut (and my nails done) - also good for a wellness list! (Plus avoiding the foie gras.) (Judy Furukawa, AWC Brussels, US Citizenship Committee.) A Recipe for Wellness INGREDIENTS · A bird table · Anti-squirrel protection devices · A selection of bird food Set up your bird table with a variety of sumptuous food for birds. Make sure you add special anti-squirrel devices to prevent acrobatic visitors from getting at the food. Sit tight for a while until the birds realize what this new contraption is. Enjoy watching the birds, especially the robins and blue tits. Result: Time spent watching nature at work promotes wellness within you. (Liz MacNiven, member of AIWC Cologne, <strong>Inspiring</strong> <strong>Women</strong> Editor) 61
