This view is from the window of my newly appointed treatment room at Ossoyos Indian Band Health and Resource Centre

There is a beautiful adobe style building in the background which is the Band Office and this lovely green space runs between the two buildings

Often in the mornings deer come through and once or twice they have used the foot bridge over the creek

So sweet 💕

I spent the better part of three years working in another room on the other side of this building and today it occurred to me that it was a big change, not just for me but for my clients aswell
But with this change came this window 🪟

Change is good
Change is necessary

And when we go with the flow of change we receive gifts unexpected

A moment of carelessness can equal a lifetime or generations to heal

I struggle with this, not as much as a used to, but I am often the stone breaking the surface if the water

Be still in the chaos

Don’t push the river it flows by itself

It’s 9:30 am and we have high heat in my area
I wanted to jump on here and post some heat coping strategies

1/shade! obvious to most but I’m speaking about creating your own shade. You could close the window blinds of the house, dark equals cool. Wear a hat with a brim to shade your face and neck
Use the car window shade it does make a difference

2/ water!!! And lots of water in many forms. Carry drinking water on you. I keep water bottles in my freezer and grab one or two for my outings. Room temperature water is better than none. Take wetted face cloths in a zip bag and bring it out to place on your pulse points. A misting bottle to create coolness on your face and skin. I like a good foot bath of cool water, this is also a great treatment for resetting the vagas nerve in painful bodies. Unpopular advice but avoid alcohol and caffeine. They sound like a good idea but both are adding to the fire element that is already in excess and are dehydrating. Go to a body of water and swim or dip your feet in the water. It’s cooler by the water and it’s good for what ails you. Take a shower to cool down !

3/ plan your day to be inside or out of the heat between 3:00pm and 5:30pm as this is the hottest part of the day. If anxiety visits you then you should know heat makes it more intense so plan accordingly

4/ Plan small light meals, as digestion is hard and creates heat in our bodies. If you must cook that Sunday roast cook it in a slow cooker or in the early hours of the morning and simply reheat at dinner time.

5/listen to your body!! The signs of over heating come quickly and are just as quickly followed by heat exhaustion or stroke.

Start the day cool and do all you can to maintain the cool 😎
