Listen to Your Body – and the World Around You
July 24 is International Self-Care Day – a reminder that taking care of yourself includes paying attention to your hearing health. Untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation, cognitive decline, and emotional strain. Regular hearing checkups are just as important as eye exams or dental visits. Whether it’s turning down the volume, using protective gear in noisy environments, or exploring hearing aid options, small steps can make a big difference. Prioritize your hearing as part of your self-care routine and enjoy staying connected to the people and sounds that matter most. Your ears will thank you!
A Clean Home, A Clear Mind
With Love by Beccs knows that a clean space isn’t just about appearances—it’s essential to your health and well-being.

This July, take a load off—let With Love by Beccs handle the cleaning so you can focus on what matters most. Clean with care. Clean with love.
BodyTalk is Self-Care
Your body knows you better than anyone else. BodyTalk has the ability to get Yes/No feedback from the intelligence within you. The information gathered assists with communication and connection within. The BodyTalk system has a roadmap to lead the practitioner to the priority. Genetics, past events, emotions, energy systems, body parts and environment are all on this roadmap protocol chart. Even old beliefs may be contributing to the current unpleasant experiences within you. Specific techniques highlighted in treatment include tapping the information into your nervous system. Once aware, changes can be made.

Prioritize You & Your Health…
True self-care goes beyond the occasional indulgence—it’s about intentionally supporting your whole self: body, mind, and spirit. That means nourishing foods, restful sleep, meaningful movement, and moments of stillness. At You and Your Health… First, I encourage you to check in with how you’re really feeling—physically and emotionally—and honour those needs without guilt. Whether that’s taking a break, setting healthy boundaries, or reaching out for support, self-care is not selfish; it’s essential. When you care for yourself intentionally, you’re better equipped to show up fully in every other part of your life. Let’s put your health first—together.

Move Well, Live Well
Summer is the perfect time to prioritize your physical health. Whether you’re gardening, walking, or enjoying outdoor sports, proper movement and posture can prevent pain and injury. A physical therapist can help you improve mobility, balance, and strength through personalized exercises and techniques. If you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain, now’s a great time to take that next step in your healing journey. Acupuncture can also provide relief from pain and inflammation while supporting the body’s healing response. Regular movement improves joint health, circulation, and overall well-being—so don’t wait until something hurts to get assessed. Stay active, stay safe, and make the most of summer!
More Fun Than a Treadmill: Try Dancing
Let’s be honest — dancing is way more fun than a treadmill workout or lifting weights. It’s a fantastic way to stay physically active, while also giving your brain a boost. Learning to lead or follow in partner dances challenges coordination, focus, and memory. Best of all, it pulls you away from screens and into real-life social interaction. Interested in giving it a try? Just search “UofSBDC” for the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dance Club. With six decades of experience, they offer affordable, well-structured dance seasons. Dance for fun, fitness, and friendship—your mind and body will thank you!
