Sometimes you need to step back, put your feet up and breath deep.

Are you directionally challenged? I am, on occasion. To help make your arrival less stressful, we have some instructions for 9th Ave access when your appointments are not between 8am-5pm.

The past is behind you. Learn from it, and let it go.

Today we are taking a look at the STRONG skills! This is an easy acronym to remind you of how to reduce your emotional vulnerabilities. By keeping your baseline needs met, you are better able to cope with whatever else life throws at you. Here are 6 things to monitor: S - Sleep. Getting enough rest for your body is critical! The benefits of adequate rest are so important to us and our functioning. T - Take medications as prescribed. If you are on any sort of regular medicatio...n, continue taking it as prescribed. R - Resist substances. If you have a tendency to push your limits when it comes to drugs and alcohol, perhaps consider scaling back if that is available to you. O - One thing competently. This step is all about recognizing something that you did well that day. Showered? Great! Checked something off your to do list? Awesome! Par yourself on the back for doing at least one thing well today. N - Nutrition. Fuelling your body adequately is key in getting through your days with ease! G - Give back to your body. Whether that means through exercise, a massage or physio (), or resting, listen to your bodies needs and do your best to act accordingly. Do you have any go-to’s for keeping yourself well? Let us know below!

Join us Thursday for our third installment in our virtual women's wellness series. Please email [email protected] to register. Did you miss a session? We have the last two sessions and information available on our website in our blog!

It truly is a waste of time and effort. #yycphysiotherapy #yycmassage #yycfitness #yycrun #motivation #yycstrength #yycphysio #yycpelvichealth #iamdowntowncalgary #supportlocal #pelvichealth #yycsport #yycwomen #yycwomenshealth #yycnow

Set goals. Dream big. No compromise.

For today's Mental Health Monday we are taking a look at a skill developed by Marsha Linehan. This skill can help in situations of intense emotion in relationships in order to communicate effectively, or in choosing a healthy behaviour over a not-so-healthy one. S - Stop. Immediately take a moment to stop what you are doing and pause. T - Take a breath. Inhale, exhale. ... O - Observe your thoughts. What kinds of thoughts are playing in your head? Are they based in fact or are they perhaps exaggerated? What sensations are you feeling in your body? What kind of emotions are you feeling? P - Proceed effectively. This is your chance to rephrase what you were about to say, choose a new behaviour, or choose to take some time before responding. Let us know how you feel after trying this technique!

Did you miss last week? We have you covered! Check out our blog page for the recording! https://movementsportsclinic.ca/womens-winter-wellness-vir/

What a great perspective! #Repost @mindfullyevie (@get_repost) When you look at this piece of paper, what do you see?... Five years ago my meditation teacher asked me and twenty others this question and we all came back with the same obvious answer - we see a black dot on a white piece of paper. My meditation teacher then went on to tell us that the black dot represents all the bad things in our life, and the white part of the paper represents all the good things in our life. ~ The first thing to note from this exercise is how immediately drawn to the black dot we all are, and the same goes for life especially with COVID right now. Its so easy to just focus on all the bad things and forget how much good stuff there is, and it can get to the point where all we can see is the black dot. Where all we can see is the pandemic and the fear that brings, and forget there is life around it. ~ The second thing I took away from this was trying to then learn how to focus on the white part of the paper, aka the good stuff. If you ignore the black dot or try and pretend its not there, does that make it easier to see the white surrounding it? For me, I found by trying to convince myself the black dot wasnt there meant all I could see and think of was the black dot. But when I started accepting the black dot was there and I saw it as it was, this allowed my mind to let go of the thoughts surrounding the black dot and move my focus to the white stuff surrounding it. ~ The final and biggest thing thing I learnt from this exercise was accepting that the black dot will always be there. Some peoples black dot may be a lot bigger than others, and your own black dot will continuously vary in size throughout your life, years, days and even moments. But no one can avoid not having their own black dot because suffering is an inevitable part of life and it is something everyone experiences in many different shapes and forms. ~ Whenever I find myself getting caught up in thinking about all the bad stuff in life, I remind myself of this exercise.

Excuses. It is easy to think of a reason why we shouldnt be active. In the end, our excuses can lead to bad habits and less activity. Sure, you might be tired, change your workout to yoga or a short cadio session. Even a little bit of movement will make you feel better.

Take a step back. Put down your phone. Turn off the computer, TV and/or tablet. Sit in quiet for a few moments. Take and good look and analysis of your body. How do you feel? Is there any tension? How does your digestion feel? How is your energy. Take the time to analyze how you truly feel. #yycphysiotherapy #yycmassage #yycfitness #yycrun #motivation #yycstrength #yycphysio #yycpelvichealth #iamdowntowncalgary #supportlocal #pelvichealth #yycsport #yycwomen #yycwomenshealth #yycnow

FITsplints provide support for your back, belly, bladder, hips and pelvis during and post pregnancy. "When a mom runs while pregnant (4+ months), there is increased belly motion. Stabilizing this motion can help reduce the stress on the connective tissue, bladder and back. Wearing a support will reduce the stress loads and provide a smoother gait." - Celeste Goodson ReCore Fitness founder, pre and post-natal trainer, and ACE Medical Exercise Specialist Are you curious? We stock FITsplints in the clinic!

You are what you think. Fuel your mind, think positive, encourage and look on the bright side. #yycphysiotherapy #yycmassage #yycfitness #yycrun #motivation #yycstrength #yycphysio #yycpelvichealth #iamdowntowncalgary #supportlocal #pelvichealth #yycsport #yycwomen #yycwomenshealth #yycnow
