Nurture Your Four Aspects
Our four aspects – mind, body, spirit, and soul – require nurturing and attention throughout the day. Our mind and body are self-explanatory – both require nurturance in their own way. Our soul is our connection to our higher self, or whatever aspect you pray to. This connection is as unique as you are! Our spirit is what makes us truly unique – who we are day to day, and this above all requires our individual attention and connection to be whole. It’s possible that depression results when we lose the vital connection to these aspects. What will you do today to nurture them?
How Much of Your Health Depends on Emotions?
The chances of developing a physical condition for somebody who is constantly angry and dissatisfied,
are greater than those who manage positive emotions and thoughts. The immune system of someone
who is neutral to positive on their thoughts or emotions is much stronger than those of the negative
mindset. The constant triggers of neurotransmitters and hormones in a balanced way, promotes healthy
physical processes and maintenance. When we are constantly angry or worried, we develop an
addiction to the release of adrenaline and cortisol, causing negative effects in the body. Be aware of
your thoughts and adjust accordingly. Awareness heals.

Supporting Mental Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a noticeable impact on the mental health of Canadians, and the federal government has taken some good initial steps towards addressing this with an economic recovery plan and the free Wellness Together Canada portal. However, about 1.6 million Canadians were living with unmet mental health needs before the COVID-19 pandemic. The Canadian Mental Health Association is working to expand and adapt its virtual services and supports countrywide, and is also calling on the federal government to take further action to support Canadians’ mental health needs.

However, research has shown that when meetings start with intentional gratitude and a short debrief at the end, collective intelligence and productivity increase substantially. How does it work? Put a standing item of reflection/gratitude/quick win in the agenda template and assign someone to share a positive note. When the meeting is over, check-in to ensure you met your objectives, everyone was heard, and everyone is ready to move upwards and onwards.

Tips for Better Immunity
Maintain a strong, healthy immune system with this 3-pronged approach during the current pandemic and beyond: #1: Lifestyle: Limit stress, turn off the TV or computer, and get at least 30 minutes of exercise 3-5 times per week and 7-8 hours of sleep per night. #2: Nutrition: A diet high in lean protein, fruits, vegetables and the right macronutrients is the most important element to overall health. #3: Hydration: Without adequate hydration and the right electrolyte delivery system, your body doesn’t get the nutrients it needs to recover from illness or infection. Proper hydration is key to a well-functioning body.
