Today is Canada Day, and this year it is a time of Today is Canada Day, and this year it is a time of both pride and despair, regret and celebration. We are acknowledging a dark history of our beloved country and doing so within an international pandemic where hope can feel hard to come by. No matter how you need to commemorate July 1st this year I invite you to hold space for each other. To recognize that this generation may not be responsible for what has happened within the Residential Schools of our past, but we have a new responsibility to never allow this to happen again. That you may not have caused the pain and trauma but you can be active today in validating the experience of those still suffering and pledge to stand with them in their journey forward. Be kind, be aware, be respectful, and as a nation, let us be better. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿงก

๐Ÿ˜ฑ Ever get caught thinking about the worst case sc ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Ever get caught thinking about the worst case scenarios? It's a super common (but unhelpful) thinking habit and can make you feel even worse!

When you notice that you're focused on all the 'what ifs', and making mountains out of molehills, ask yourself this question ๐Ÿค”:
"What's MOST LIKELY going to happen?"

Sometimes this is enough to shift our thinking to focus on what's really going on - instead of all the terrible ideas our brain can come up with!

It's the start of your week, so here's a quick rem It's the start of your week, so here's a quick reminder on #mindfulmonday to practice staying in the moment! Breathe in, notice the air in your lungs, and then let it all out. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ Even 2 minutes of mindful breathing (That's about 12 breaths) can have a huge impact on your mental health - it reduces anxiety, improves your mood, balances your nervous system and even helps you think more clearly!

So pause - breathe - and then go kick butt this week! ๐Ÿ’ช

Note the second set of slices, cooking once I realized I had abandoned my snack from 2 hours previous and was attempting to eat again.

This is the life of the easily distracted, the constantly multitasking, the mentally divided. Can you relate to that sort of day? Starting one task and then getting side tracked and forgetting entirely where you started?

Somedays I feel like I have 30 tabs open in my internet browser and my brain! ๐Ÿง

Human beings are awful at multitasking and yet we strive for that all the time.

Reminder to do one thing at a time and take care of your own needs. You'll probably burn less toast that way ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿž๐Ÿ”ฅ #mentalhealthmama #mentalhealth #easilydistracted #mindfulness #adhd #attentiondefecitdisorder #multitasking #multitaskingproblems

Being supportive and empathetic is all about meeting people where they are at - validating and acknowledging their experience and pain instead of jumping straight to 'making them feel better' or spinning their words into a quick positive.
