I like to remind people - and myself - to "talk to and treat yourself like you talk to and treat a good friend." 💫

Feeding our mind with positive messages helps the neuroplasticity of our brain to sculpt & strengthen new neural networks that will serve us in healthier ways.

As a person who has lived with depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD (and self-medicated my illnesses with alcohol and other drugs for many years) - I am now grateful & privileged to be aligned with LifeRing, Dr. Low's Recovery Method & legacy of Recovery International, and SMART Recovery.

These peer-to-peer mental health support groups are led by trained leaders who have regained and maintained their mental health with the methods they learn in meetings.

I encourage you to attend an online or in-person meeting - see what resonates for you. We all require different things at different times. I'm always happy to answer any questions.

We have an 🙌 in-person 🙌 SMART meeting every Sunday in Goderich. Message me for details.

Keep learning, keep growing, keep showing up for yourself.💫

May the force be with you,
and remember...
YOU are the force!

WHEN YOU FEEL OVERWHELMED:

✨Remember this — you don’t have to solve everything at once.

Just focus on what’s in front of you.
One step. One task. One moment.

🪷You can’t control how long it takes, but you can control your focus.

- Breathe.
- Slow down.
- Stay here.

Because progress isn’t made by rushing everything... it’s made by doing one thing well, at a time.

🕊️Trust the process.

You’ll get through it... one calm, focused moment at a time.

I often get messages from people asking about how to deal with the shame and guilt they carry because of how they behaved in the past...
especially when their loved ones keep reminding them of their past behaviours.

Sadly, there's no shortage of guilt & shame on this ride.

It does get easier, when we're willing to delve into the darkness to heal the hurts of the past - instead of just managing/medicating the symptoms.

But, there's also the consideration that the past is best left in the past, isn't it?

I like using the analogy of the donkey in the ditch. It doesn't matter how it got there... we just need to help it out of the ditch and teach it how to not fall back into the ditch.

Caring for yourself with love & compassion is a great place to start.

May the force be with you,
and remember...
YOU are the force!

Your life is shaped by the choices you make every day.

Some choices are small, some are big, but all of them slowly create your reality.

Change does not happen overnight.

It begins with one new decision.

💫 A better habit.
💫 A healthier boundary.
💫 A new direction.

When you change your choices, you change your path.

Over time, those small decisions can create a completely different life for you.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself...
and keep making good decisions ❣

Since December, I’ve been showing up at the dojo ~ afternoons, evenings, through the winter months ~ offering group Tai Chi classes to our community.

And there’s something humbling about standing alone in a space you hoped would be full… and realizing that effort doesn’t always equal engagement.

So, I’m making a shift.

I’m stepping away from group classes. Our last class at Goderich Martial Arts, Hakko Denshin Ryu Jujutsu is Monday the 30th from 6:30-7 PM.

I'm offering both in-person and online sessions ~~~ energy is everything, and everything is energy. 💫

Darkness does not leave by waiting.

It leaves when you decide to become the light.

Instead of expecting others to change your life, you begin with yourself — your thoughts, your words, your actions.

When you choose kindness, you shift your energy.
When you speak with care, you heal more than you know.
When you act with purpose, you create change.

Light is not something you find outside.

It is something you become within.

And once you become that light, your world begins to change with you. ✨🪷

Some excellent suggestions.👏

A structured routine can help navigate the waves of life in healthier ways.

Our April positive change calendar encourages you to proactively make positive change in different areas of life with simple ideas and activities.

There is a whole month of activities to try. See which ones make a difference for you. For ideas that really work, you can think about developing a more regular routine.

Use the calendar to be proactive, creative, and positive next month.

Today's SMART meeting explored the topic of Unconditional Acceptance for Self, for Others, and for Life - and how difficult it is for us humans to reach that state of complete acceptance.

I love how Peter Crone delves into these complex issues with compassion & clarity.

What you’re about to hear are excerpts from Peter's Mastermind. Three beautiful humans bring very different challenges, each shaped by their own circumstance...

A massive thank you to everyone who is showing up for Tai Chi FLOW. Your presence turns the evening into a powerful practice.

Let's continue filling the room with that energy for the final group class on Monday, March 30th, at 6:30.

Tai Chi FLOW is a simple way to build strength, improve flexibility, and regulate your nervous system - all at the same time. It's a great form of exercise - without feeling like exercise! WIN~WIN~WIN 💖

Hope to see you Monday at Goderich Martial Arts, Hakko Denshin Ryu Jujutsu ~ side entrance on Anglesea, and the glass door closest to Cambria.

This group experience has inspired me to create Mind Mojo™ Private - Therapeutic Tai Chi for Stress Recovery.

I've met so many people suffering with:
🔸 Anxiety that won’t switch off.
🔸 Burnout that sleep isn’t fixing.
🔸 Emotional overload.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 people who need more than talk-therapy.

Limited private sessions available each week, but if you don't find a time that fits your schedule, let me know and I'll work with you to make times that work for you.
