This Thanksgiving week, we're focusing on giving yourself permission to prioritize YOU.

Have you ever wondered why Europeans are often considered healthier and live better lives? Well, I’m currently in Grindelwald, Switzerland, and I think I’ve cracked the code..

So, why are Europeans healthier?

It's all about stress management. They live less stressful lives and handle stress better. It's ingrained in their daily routines, culture, and even vacation habits.

For example, the food here is different. I’ve been eating bread without the usual brain fog and stomach issues. They don’t use the same food processing techniques as in the States, which makes a huge difference.

Yesterday, we took an amazing tour with a private guide, saw waterfalls, and just relaxed. It took me four days to truly unwind, which made me realize my routine back home needs a revamp. I wasn’t putting my well-being first, prioritizing work and emails over self-care.

Our guide mentioned that people here take three to six weeks off at a time, no big deal. In the States, that’s unheard of! Their daily routines prioritize relaxation: a big protein breakfast, a calm lunch, and a leisurely dinner.

No rush, just enjoying the moment.

So, my takeaway? We need to slow down and live more intentionally. Find that balance between working hard and truly relaxing. Call yourself out if you’re not making your well-being a priority.

Stress, pain, and injury are all connected, and managing stress is key to a healthier life.

Take a deep breath, relax, and live. You deserve it.
