My husband was honored when he received a hand made valentine from a kiddo on his mail route this week.
It’s incredible how a sweet gesture can light up a person’s day!
After seeing his valentine I started thinking about this Hallmark Holiday, heart health and love.
I don’t traditionally go all out on this national day of love.
My husband and I haven’t done anything since we attended a memorable benefit dinner at a golf course a friend of mine was hosting in Washington State.
Half of the kitchen staff quit mid-way through the 7 course meal and what was supposed to be a 2 hour event turned into a very entertaining 6 hour dinner.
We figured we’d caught up on a lifetime of Valentine’s dates at that event a decade ago!
Yet, this little angel has me thinking about how small gestures boost heart health and spread the love.
In Chinese Medicine – Heart Qi or heart energy, the vibration of the heart is central to your wellbeing – mentally and physically.
When your heart qi is down you’re feeling depressed, irritable or anxious.
Common symptoms of hormone imbalances in peri-mneopause-menopause and beyond!
How can you increase your heart qi?
Give yourself a little love or spread some love.
Did you know…
A little stretching can help you improve your circulation and reduce blood pressure? (research HERE)
Qi Gong for 10 minutes can support circulation and uplift your mood
Give a hug
Pet your dog or cat
Compliment a person on something
Hand out the old school Valentines or make ones yourself (I just cut out hearts for my crew at the office here in Wisconsin).
So this Valentine’s Day I’m forgetting my biases toward commerce cashing in on a holiday and instead looking at how I can use this day to truly spread some love by boosting my heart qi and hoping to share some love too!
Whether feeling this Valentine’s Day or not know I’m sending hugs your way.
Big hugs to you all,
Dr. J

This Valentine’s Day, I invite you to show yourself the ultimate act of love: healing for the sake of being able to DO more of what you want in your life and business! ✨
If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns or beliefs that don’t align with the life you desire, it may be time to look deeper.
Generational trauma can shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world—but here’s the good news: you can break the cycle. 🌿
