Hello Maavee Community!

As November brings us deeper into fall and with the election behind us, moving forward feels right on time. Take a moment to shake off any lingering stress and look ahead with energy, optimism, and (dare we say?) a touch of humor. Oh, and it’s now safe to turn the TV on again.

The direction of our momentum is a choice. What follows in this edition of MyLife are opportunities to get on getting on — to move forward with purpose, resilience, and humor. Let’s see where the month takes us – individually and as a community. Remember, wellness isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about everyday choices that add up to a life you love.

Until next time, keep moving, keep laughing, and keep living well.

🍜 Noodle on this…

Wholly you! 🫵 

Read on for tips, tricks, products, and experiences that may just inspire your forward momentum this fall.

We’ve voted, the ballots are counted, the ads have finally stopped, and we can all go back to our regularly scheduled programming. In the wake of election season, November is the perfect time to mentally recharge and move forward. For some, the political marathon might have been thrilling; for others, a test of endurance.

What matters now is that we take a deep breath — The Komuso Shift works wonders — and settle our minds. Moving forward doesn’t mean ignoring what’s important — rather, it’s about cultivating a mindset that lets us focus on the future, engage in meaningful discussions, and regain some peace (even if it’s just the joy of a political commercial-free evening). Need a little extra support? Find a mental health therapist with Calmerry. A touch of therapy can go a long way in finding your light.

This month, we embrace the noble art of facial hair, not just because beards and mustaches are great for those chilly mornings, but because Movember puts men’s health front and center. So whether you’re growing a mustache, supporting someone who is, or just here for the awareness of it all, let’s move forward together for better health. If you do grow some face whiskers, keep it neat and tame with men’s grooming products from Blind Barber.

Movember started as a quirky way to raise awareness about men’s health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. And while you don’t have to grow a mustache to participate, we would love to see yours if you do. Send us a pic and we will give you $5 Maavee Cash and add you to the Movember collage in the Maavee app. Let’s do this, Maavee community!

At a minimum, explore the Men’s Health Journey, get moving with a workout, check in with a friend, or book that overdue doctor’s appointment. Every little action moves us forward in creating a healthier community. And hey, a few good laughs over the best throwback 1970’s stache can never hurt! Check out the new Giving Back carousel and consider making a donation to Movember today. Giving back feels oh so good!

If you’re anything like most of us, life rarely goes exactly as planned. This month, moving forward with soul means letting go of rigid expectations and embracing the path as it unfolds. Some of the most beautiful growth happens when we’re flexible and open to surprises.

Moving forward can also mean taking a break from striving. Reconnect with something that makes you feel truly alive, be it a quiet walk in nature, journaling, or an honest chat with a friend. It’s so important to align your energy with what you want in life. To get started, think of three things you want in your future that have nothing to do with politics. Write them down in the Manifestation Journal by Aya Paper Co. and make it a daily practice. Soul growth isn’t a sprint; it’s a journey that lasts a lifetime. As poet Mary Oliver said, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Need some soul guidance? Consider a “Soul Session” from Seeking Center.

With the holiday season approaching, moving forward financially means balancing enjoyment with a little bit of prudence. It’s so easy to get swept up in the spending wave, but the goal here is to keep calm, set a realistic holiday budget, and find some good holiday sales. It might be worth refreshing your knowledge and flexing your skills with help from The Financial Gym!

Moving forward for the planet doesn’t mean you need to overhaul your whole life overnight. Little actions make the most impact when done collectively. Let’s go Maavee community…this November, we encourage everyone to make one small change that can have lasting effects, like cutting down on single-use plastics and avoiding microwaving in plastic containers. Here are three Journeys to explore in the Maavee app:

The best part? These small shifts often end up enhancing our own lives, too. There’s a special satisfaction in knowing you’re part of a global effort to make a difference. Moving forward is about progress, not perfection – so let’s all take it one eco-friendly step at a time.

With the new year fast approaching, now’s a great time to pause and check in on how work aligns with what matters to you. Are you moving forward in a way that brings you closer to your goals, or does it feel more like a hamster wheel? Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, pursuing passion projects, or doing your own thing, give yourself credit for every small step forward.

If you are feeling a bit lost, out of steam or just lacking energy and purpose, find out what drives and drains you with the Plum Assessment Journey. The truth is, no one has it all figured out. But taking stock of whether you are spending your energy optimally is a step forward that will most certainly bring some clarity and relief. That alone is a victory worth celebrating!
