Arise and Shine YEG

Good morning Arise and Shine! I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoying the warm temperatures! Here is your quote for this week:... Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one. C.S. Lewis I felt this quote suitable for this past week. I think that having friends and others around us with whom we can share, laugh and cry is as essential for our mental health and well-being as sleep and exercise. Let's all celebrate the friends we have in our life and create space to meet new friends! #yycmentalhealth #yegmentalhealth #yqlmentalhealth

Good morning Arise and Shine, Happy Family Day! This week’s quote is the following: Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow.'... -Mary Anne Radmacher, American author and artist Sometimes we may not always figure out a solution to a problem or a challenge and have to try multiple times before we succeed. This week I found the approach of being gentle with myself when I failed at something and yet persistent to try again a different way made a huge difference to getting more things complete than I had planned. Failure in performing an activity or a goal does not mean failure of an entire person. I found separating those two ideas also helped. I hope you all have a lovely family day weekend! #mentalhealthalberta #yycmentalhealth #yegmentalhealth #morningsunrise #inspiringquotes

Good morning Arise and Shine! Here is this week’s quote: Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do. -Brenee Brown... No matter what challenges we encounter along the way, returning to self love if we face obstacles is a great practice. We need to love, nurture and care for bodies, minds and hearts in order to live life to the fullest and to overcome obstacles. All the best for the upcoming week! #yycmentalhealth #yegmentalhealth #yqlmentalhealth #reddeermentalhealth #medicinehatmentalhealth #vancouvermentalhealth #victoriamentalhealth #saskatoonmentalhealth #reginamentalhealth #torontomentalhealth #quebecmentalhealth #newbrunswickmentalhealth #halifaxmentalhealth #newfoundlandmentalhealth #peimentalhealth #sunrise #inspiringquotes

Good morning Arise and Shine! We wish you a very good first full week of the year and good mental health! Today’s quote is: Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. - Gail Denvers... I think at the start of anything new it’s important to focus on the future and envision a positive outcome. Each of our visions will be different and there may be parts of it that seem desireable yet difficult to achieve. That is where faith in the future, trust in ourselves and a well thought out plan to get there come in. Let’s vision build and share our hopes and desires with others. #yycmentalhealth #yegmentalhealth #yqlmentalhealth

Good morning Arise and Shine! This week’s quote is by Juansen Dizon: I hope you realize that every day is a fresh start for you. That every sunrise is a new chapter in your life waiting to be written.... As we head into a new year this week, let’s think about new beginnings and what a fresh start for us looks like in different ways. Let’s look ahead with hope, and optimism. Best wishes for the new year 2021. #yycmentalhealth #yegmentalhealth #yqlmentalhealth

Good morning Arise and Shine, We had a wonderful sunset walk yesterday in more ways than one and shared some great vibes while keeping ourselves safe and protected. Our weekly quote was: Hope is being able to see the light despite all the darkness. Desmond Tutu... We wish that each of you find your way to see the light in these challenging times. Keep searching, even if we lose it for a while always return back to searching for it. We can overcome this. Being outside in the fresh air and looking for beauty in nature each day is one way I’ve found to find hope and light. Have a really good week may you find the light as often as possible! #yycwalk #yycmorning #yycquote #yycmentalwellness #yegmorning #yegquotes #yegmentalhealth #yqlmorning #yqlquotes #yqlmentalhealth
