This #MindfulMonday, try a mindfulness body scan practice to ease tense muscles, let the stress that often builds up in your body drift away, and feel calm all over! From tight shoulders to tense toes, this simple technique might be just what you need: 1. Find a quiet place to sit or lie down 2. Start at one end of your body (feet or head) and focus your attention on each body part, one-by-one ... 3. Notice any areas where you feel tension or discomfort. Imagine each area softening & relaxing 4. If a thought or emotion arises, notice it without judging, then let it go 5. Continue until your whole body feels completely relaxed #heartniagara #mindfulness #healthydailyliving

#CPRAwarenessMonth: How To Use A Pocket Mask! In any rescue you take part in, it’s important to remember that your safety is your number one priority. So, if you come across a person who you do not know that’s in cardiac arrest and you feel comfortable helping them, you must always protect yourself. If you have a pocket mask, you can provide CPR with ventilations, NEVER give mouth-to-mouth to someone you don’t know. If you don’t have a pocket mask, you should provide hands-o...nly CPR.

It’s important that we all do our part to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by following government safety guidelines... Wearing a face covering in enclosed public spaces is required by-law throughout Niagara. Make sure that you are wearing your mask properly by following these tips Remember that wearing a mask doesn’t make you invincible and isn’t a replacement for other health measures. The most effective measures to protect yourself and those around you is to always be... mindful of your health. If you get sick, stay home and get tested, cover your cough/sneeze, continue to maintain a two metre physical distance from others, avoid non-essential trips in the community/gatherings, wear a face covering if you cannot maintain a physical distance, avoid touching your face, clean and disinfect high touch surfaces, and frequently clean or sanitize your hands. LET’S ALL DO OUR PART TO HELP STOP THE SPREAD See more
