wellness
The state of being in great health, and continually striving to attain all of your goals.
My Path to Wellness
When I think of a resolution, it feels like an ending. A resolve to something. But as human beings, are we ever really fully resolved? I feel like I'm always evolving instead. I like to view my wellness as an ever expanding, ever growing, living, breathing thing.

THE HEART CHAKRA- Anahata Chakra
The name of this chakra signifies the state of freshness that appears when we are able to become detached and to look at the different and apparently contradictory experiences of life with a state of openness (expansion). This energy is specific to cooperation and integration, which brings peace and a new perspective in a world which, up to this level (considering only the energies specific to the first three centers of force: Muladhara, Swasdhistana and Manipura) was made only of a more or less conscious confrontation between opposite forces.

Fresh start
I welcomed this new year in hope. I know the world we are living in is seemingly daunting and most people are doing their best to get by. I wanted to promise myself one thing for this new year. In 2021 I will be ringing it in to host a new wellness ideal for myself and to possibly inspire others too. In 2021 I will welcome a new outlook on life and health. I will be starting to pay for my doctor's visits while living here in Canada. Why you might ask? To be frank and endearing; it is to harness my health issues and to find an honest doctor. You see I have struggled with finding a good doctor who is truly honest and will listen to concerns. So I looked into a completely different idea in its own based off of curiosity. I now have an Naturopathic Doctor who specializes in whole-self health. Mind, body and spirit connection to living a fulfilled lifestyle. I have had struggled with health issues in my not so far past that left me with no answers. So I decided to look into using herbal remedies to supplement the body’s natural processes. I will also be exercising more and literally attacking the idea of it in a fun way. I will be using a virtual reality headset to learn how to box and really grab exercise by the horns so to speak. Enough about the physical though. Mentally I will continuously embark on feeding my mind with healthy thoughts and affirmations. I use to feed it poison with hate speech and attack myself on the daily which spiraled into a vicious circle that would only make my mental health dwindle by the hour. To give my mind the medicine that it needs to grow stronger every day and build a health self-talk and lingo. To feed my mind with knowledge and help it grow sharp and rigid like a sword. Now spiritually is where a lot of others may not agree but I feel it is the most needed personally. The spiritual side will be filled with nature hikes and practicing Indigenous Culture & Ceremonies. This beautiful side of my heritage has proven to help me feel whole and fulfilled. Practicing smudge in my own home and sharing this with my children is something that I am proud to now know. I have journeyed from my lands in Nova Scotia to Alberta and have been blessed to meet Elder's and truly beautiful people to help build my knowledge of practice and be able to share with my family back home. Beyond will only tell in time where my journey will take me but I feel like I have finally found my path. My running shoes are on to embrace the journey ahead instead of hide in fear. My hopes and aspirations are flickering bright like a camp fire in the night. I know that my path is filled with rocks that may cause me to trip and even fall but I am motivated to keep pressing on. I envision my beyond in years to come to house successes like promotions at my job or even as great as being able to teach and help in Cultural Ceremonies while on the Sacred Land. To be able to help others embrace this beautiful Culture and find joy and peace in it as I do. My path has always been in the direction to help others and I will bring the well-rounded health and wellness that I practice to the table and teach others whenever the opportunity is granted!

My Path to Wellness
My Path to Wellness Finding my way to a healthy body, mind and spirit This is the story of my chosen path to find my optimal health. It started when I was a child. My mom was obese, and when I was 5 she told me “you just wait, one day you will be fat like me.” I heard it as a threat. She was always in a moo moo dress and the kids at school would laugh at her as they would ask who's mom she was. I was walking home alone shortly after first grade started. Not because I wanted to, but I didn't want to listen to the kids making fun of her any more.

The Five F's of Wellness
So often, the word "wellness" becomes synonymous with a healthy weight. To me, however, wellness encompasses so much more. While nutritious food choices and an exercise regimen that work for you are important, I believe that wellness should also consider the mental and spiritual aspects of living. My wellness resolutions for 2021 aim to improve all areas of my life that I consider important. My "Five F's" of Wellness for 2021 are food, fun, faith, family, and fire.

Feel All Your Feelings To Transform Your Life
Let me start with a narrative that almost all of us experience in our heads sometimes: We sense an uncomfortable feeling arising inside us. As soon as we sense it, our mind starts weaving a story around that feeling — Why do I feel this way? I shouldn’t be feeling sad, fearful, anxious, {insert any uncomfortable feeling}.

In Praise of Doing Nothing.
Switch off attention; engage your Default Mode Network. My early morning run usually takes me to Richmond Park or along the river Thames. On either run, for at least six months of the year, I get the sunrise on my face as my 6-kilometre loop brings me back home. The only decision I make is before I start; deciding which route of several to take. After that, it is almost entirely unconscious. My playlist prepared, my earbuds plugged into my ears, I have 40 minutes of doing nothing except listening, putting one foot in front of the other and watching the sunrise. A moment to switch off, be in the moment, relax and prepare for the day ahead.

My Wellness Goal
Last year was quite an emotional rollercoaster. This year started off with the same level of intensity. The general uncertainty of political and health related issues made me realize one fundamental fact: I do not control much. However, what I can control is myself, and to a lesser extent, my home environment. Armed with this knowledge, I have resolved to improve myself to the best of my ability. I plan to become more healthy in 2021 than I was in 2020. I am a big fan of setting goals that are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and on a timeline.
