Get a Cup of Tea and Let's Hang Out Together!
It's almost here! The Inner Peace, Outer Glow workshop is here to help you learn easy ways to manage stress and anxiety in your body and mind.
It's happening in person at North Dundas High School on March 24, 2024, from 1:00-3:00 PM.
You'll learn simple breathing and mindfulness practices that...
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "My mental health is just as important as my physical health."
Repeat it often.
It's easy to think that our physical health is all that matters and that caring for our brain/mind is secondary.
To be fair, we can't see our brains, so it makes...
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "I Add Before I Subtract When Changing Habits."
Repeat it often.
When there is a habit you want to get rid of, try adding something positive to slowly begin to push that undesirable thing out.
You'll feel good building new habits and avoid feeling...
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "My Habits Might Need to Change, My Core Being Doesn't."
Repeat it often.
At this time of year, we're bombarded by ads selling a 'better you', or similar nonsense.
You don't need to change - you're already good enough.
Habits that devalue you have to change,...
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "DIY self-care is just as good as purchased."
Repeat it often.
At this time of year, we're bombarded by ads selling what promises to be the 'best' version of self-care, often with a hefty price tag that can make us feel 'less-than' if we don't have a lot of...
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "My boundaries keep in what is good for me and keep out what isn't."
Repeat it often.
We may think of boundaries as a fence to keep people out.
It can also be a way to preserve what is good and keep it in.
By getting rid of energy drains, you have space...
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "Even 5 minutes of self-care counts. Anything is better than nothing."
Repeat it often.
We often get caught up in the all-or-nothing mentality.
But even a few minutes of mindful breathing daily is better than 90 minutes of yoga done once per year.
Over...
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "Setbacks Are Not Failures. I Will Get Past Them."
Repeat it often.
It's easy to see roadblocks as the end of something.
In reality, they're just a way for you to problem-solve creatively.
You can do this.

Hey there, friend,
Life has a funny way of throwing obstacles our way, and sometimes, the biggest hurdles are the ones we create ourselves. We're often guilty of pushing ourselves too hard, even when our bodies and minds are whispering, "Rest, please."
One such obstacle is the reluctance to slow...
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Repeat after me, "I allow myself to rest when I'm not 100%."
Repeat it often.
'Tis the season of runny noses, coughs and colds.
It's also when we often ignore our bodies the most and "just push through".
Make this year different, and listen to your body.
Let yourself rest, it's...
