Hello Wellness Works Family,

I hope everyone has been able to make a little time to relax over the past few weeks. With the amount of turbulence we've all been having lately, It's important to find ways to bring ourselves back to calmer waters, daily.
I hope this resource will help bring you all home for a moment: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD2VwEx-D7ttER-zmsp7MRQ/videos

- Calming stress, anxiety, or panic attacks.
- Rebalancing an over-active nervous system.

- Cooling the body

Try relaxing and breathing for 10 minutes using this visual aid. inhale as the shape increases, exhale as it decreases. Speed can be changed through settings on the lower right corner of the video:

There is one thing I like to do to help manage stress during busy weeks - meal prep!. Once you get the hang of it, meal prep is a big time saver.
If i don't have time (or don't want to) meal prep for the week, I at least like to cook up a batch (or two) of my favourite soup for easy dinners.

If you'd like to give it a try, pick your favourite soup from It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken's blog, and be sure to share your favourite time or stress-management tips with the Wellness Works family:

Creamy, noodle-y, hearty, and spicy soups to warm you from the inside out. Vegan, dairy-free, vegetarian.

Getting rest is so important for our wellbeing. Sleep is the body's way to repair and regulate. If you're not getting enough quality sleep, chances are your body is not getting the time it needs to heal. Although the amount of sleep each person needs can vary, there are a couple of things you can do to ensure a good quality sleep.

Check out this short post by Lunah Life on creating an ideal sleeping environment:

Times have really changed! With all of the technology, lights everywhere, growing cities (means growing noise and pollution), our bodies are trying to keep up and change with the times. Its hard though! Supporting your body as much as you can, means it doesn’t have to do so much work, and it can f...

We are all connected to each other, and to nature. A lot of people find peace in being in nature, whether it's out in a forest enjoying the fall colours, or near (or in) a body of water.
Check out this short post by Eoin Finn where he talks about the connection between yoga and environmental health.

With the weather cooling, I'm often looking for healthy ways to give my immunity a little boost (and -let's not kid ourselves- stay warm!).

Here is a lovely article by Insiya Rasiwala-Finn that introduces us to the Ayurveda concept of immunity being connected to our gut. She shares a few tips on how to improve the state of our Agni (or digestive fire), and even shares a recipe for a delicious tea you can make at home.
