New Year's Resolutions
The celebration of the New Year has long been a time for looking back to the past and more importantly looking forward to the future. We know that the Babylonians celebrated New Years Day over four thousand years ago which coincided with the planting of their spring crops. The Babylonians believed that what they did on the first day of the New Year would have an effect throughout their entire year. |

Holiday Stress Enjoy And Be Merry
If you want to avoid that stressed-out feeling this holiday season try implementing some new strategies and avoid some common mistakes. Like many we tend to let our expectations, poor planning, and over-indulgence get in the way of truly enjoying and de-stressing during our "down-time". The key to success in avoiding the "holiday blahs" is to recognize those activities that energize, motivate, and please us, and to delete or change those activities that irritate, disappoint, and anger us. |
Holiday Blues
The ‘holiday blues’ are not as serious as depression, but left un-checked it could lead to a downward spiral that may bring about the symptoms of depression. Feeling tired, overwhelmed, anxious, sad, and guilty or having a complete lack of interest in things may indicate that you are experiencing the blues. |
Handling Job Stress
Almost half our waking hours are spent earning a living. For many people, a job provides more than just an income; it is a significant portion of their identity. It can determine their self-worth, their accomplishments, and successes. It is not surprising then, that many Canadians experience an enormous amount of stress from their workplace. |
Future Shock Stratgies
According to the Angus Reid Group, 14% of Canadian workers identified new technology in the workplace as a significant source of stress. Never before have individuals been asked to adapt as rapidly. Instant communication and exponentially growing technology lead us to one of the few absolute truths – Technology change is constant. Technology has reconfigured the nature of work and our social relationships on the job. |
From Kid To College Bound
Parents are bound to worry when their kids go off to post-secondary school. Will they eat, go to sleep and wake up without their supervision? Will they be able to keep up with the work? Will they make friends or socialize too much? Will the pressure to use alcohol or drugs be too great? |
Food And Mood
Most of us instinctively reach for sweets or caffeine to give relief from the morning sluggishness or afternoon slump. We use sweets as a way of helping ourselves through stressful times. Those strategies might help, temporarily, but there is a downside to these methods. |
Feelings Emotional Wellness
One often forgotten component of overall optimal health is our emotional health. Our feelings have important implications for how we view ourselves, our relationships and the world around us. This ability to maturely face and express these feelings can help us to meet life’s challenges without becoming overwhelmed or hopeless and without the need to dominate and force those around us. |
