PLENTY magazine Autumn Harvest Season 2022 | Page 44

I ’ m pleased to see that personalized well-being is an emerging priority among employers and insurance companies . They are seeking to make enduring health and vitality a reality . Although they are taking a broad view of what it means , they are beginning to listen to us . And we must demand that time in nature , is a part of the equation .
Time in nature leads to better outcomes , better patient experiences , lower costs , and greater clinician satisfaction . It is the wisest investment that health care dollars can buy . n Restorative Sleep and Rest . Without 7 hours of solid sleep each night , I am less attentive , less social , and sloppy with my eating habits . During the day I need breaks from the busyness and endless to-do lists .
Inside the Ag Reserve : I slow down , breathe deeply , and allow myself to daydream along country roads and at secluded picnic spots .
n Fulfillment and Purpose . The care and feeding of myself require clarity , hope , and meaning . Making time and finding space for envisioning , faith and learning allow these to unfold .
Inside the Ag Reserve : I tour charming studios and meet the artists and their muses , to explore their passions and expressions of life .
Through fall ’ s exquisite colors and winter ’ s quiet magic , I will embrace the wonder , awe , and mystery of the Ag Reserve — a continuing slice of heaven . I will renew and reset myself as the seasons change around me .
Nature frames my wellness wheel . It reminds to me to find balance , to seek patience , and to harness my vitality . With or without cancer .

So come on by for a cold one and try some of our fabulous farm-to-table fare . There are plenty of picnic tables , adirondack chairs and even some adorable miniature donkeys for your family and friends to enjoy . Pooches are welcome too !
