We must take care of ourselves, but sometimes we get caught up in the busy of life and then we find ourselves drowning in all the things we need to do.
It’s okay to be selfish in taking care of ourselves so we can take care of others. For me, it’s waking up at 5am, so that I can take care of myself, and it allows me to take care of my family. Knowing I did my workout and took time to be quiet makes me feel so good. Exercise is my medicine. Here are my other best tips for positive mental health. Read More→

Happy New Year. I hope you had a restful Holiday season. Here’s to an amazing 2024. Those mild temperatures were quite enjoyable, but this week has us digging out the parkas, grabbing the shovels and seeing the temperatures on the thermometer drop down below zero.

The clocks have gone back and when the alarm goes off all you see is dark. It’s normal to want to roll back over, to stay warm and cozy. Some days extra sleep is needed, but if you get into this pattern, then the morning workouts stop and more than likely you won’t go out at night because you will have one hundred excuses of why you can’t. Here are my tips for beating the dark, cold, rainy weather this season and still making sure you get those steps in.
- Go to sleep earlier – if you are finding it hard to get going in the morning, then go to bed a bit earlier. This will at least give you an extra boost for those dark mornings.
- Find a buddy – if you struggle more in the fall and winter months to work out – see if you can find someone who will meet you regularly to walk or run.
- Set a goal and reward yourself – if you get out 4 mornings a week, reward yourself with your favourite warm drink on the weekend.
- Be flexible – if your schedule is flexible, then wait until it’s light and then do your morning walk. Be consistent.
