This post was borrowed from local Lavender Farm Terrebleu.ca I loved the gentle sentiment COVID WEARY Stay Safe be Kind to yourself as well as others... WE ARE ALL FEELING IT. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! HOW TO PROTECT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IN A TIME OF COVID This feeling likely resonates for many of us at this point in the pandemic. Months of isolation, fears and lifestyle changes have taken their toll. In turn, following COVID-19 safety guidelines has begun to feel like a daily challenge. Canadians have been telling doctors and pollsters that they are increasingly stressed and burnt out which according to medical experts is to be expected. It is therefore important for us to recognise that this is a normal response to a prolonged stressful event and to look for ways to help reduce the negative psychological and overall health effects. Doctors recommend a good night’s sleep, good nutrition, regular exercise and to find activities that bring you to a better place mentally. Everyone is different but here are a few things that might help you cope: try meditating on a daily basis, get outdoors even for a short walk, focus on the things that are going right in your world, create calming moments and settings in your day to let you mind escape, call a friend and just chat on the phone being active in a conversation means that your mind can't focus on other things. There are so many simple things you can do to add a little joy to your day.

Happy Halloween 2020 style

This year will probably be a little different for most of us Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all of our members.

Life its yours to live......
