Did You Know?

DID YOU KNOW that September is Classical Music Month?

If classical isn’t your thing, keep in mind that if not for Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, we’d not enjoy the music of Paul McCartney, Elvis, Elton John, and Hans Zimmer.

I typically listen to classical music when I write, since songs with words are a distraction.

Classical for Studying is one of my favorites. You may like to give it a try next time you have to focus on a project, and you can’t be tempted to sing along. 

At least this month anyway.

You may also discover that it helps reduce your stress level. It’s calming. Could be helpful for Self-Improvement Month—also in September. (See last week’s blog if you missed it.)

A piece that you may recognize is “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” by W.A Mozart. Also known as “A Little Night Music” and “Serenade No. 13.”

A September activity: Play classical music in the background during dinner one evening. You might even like it. Choose Classical for Relaxation to help slow down your eating.

Speaking of Eating

DID YOU KNOW that sometimes migraines, headaches, anxiety, hives, rashes, acne, depression, digestive disturbances, brain fog, and much more can be caused be a food sensitivity?

The trick is determining WHAT food group could be guilty of causing trouble.

Of course, serious illness should be ruled out by a doctor. However, if there seems to be no organic cause, consider what you’re eating.

Common foods that people are sensitive to include cow’s milk, gluten, eggs, yeast, MSG, food colorings, preservatives, corn, soy, caffeine, alcohol, and fermented foods. 

And this list isn’t complete.

Add stress, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, environmental allergens such as fragrance and chemicals, and it’s tough to know where to begin.

If this is you or someone you love, I’d like to help. It may be simpler than you think.

We’ll begin the process of figuring out the puzzle together.

Sending you some classical love,
