When someone says it better, you use that. This is from Matt Haig book Notes on a Nervous Plant. If you are looking for an impactful and accessible read, please please please get this book! And so the content to accompany this image: Look up to the stars, goes like this: When looking at the sky, all our 21st-century worries can be placed in their cosmic context. The sky is bigger than emails and deadlines and mortgages and Internet trolls. It is bigger than our minds, and ...their illnesses. It is bigger than names and nations and dates and clocks. All of our earthly concerns are quite transient when compared to the sky. Through our lives, throughout every chapter of human history, the sky has always been the sky. And, of course, when we are looking at the sky we aren’t looking at something outside ourselves. We are looking, really, at where we came from. As physicist Carl Sagan wrote in his masterpiece Cosmos: The Nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff. The sky, like the sea, can anchor us. It says: hey, it’s OK, there is something bigger than your life that you are part of, and it’s literally cosmic. It’s the most wonderful thing. And you need to make like a tree or a bird and just feel a part of the great natural order now and again. You are incredible. You are nothing and everything. You are a single moment and all eternity. You are the universe in motion. Well done. #nervoussystem #anxiety #covid_19 #pandemic #starstuff #breathe #sky #stars #depression #nature #healthylifestyledesigner

NEW EPISODE: I’m always a week late in posting the new conversations. It is what it is. I have a sense that NOW may be a good time to dive into a conversation around herd immunity. This topic can be controversial and that’s why Janet and I decided to talk about it. The main key point missing in this debate is the compassion and ethics around saving lives. In our modern medical era, herd immunity is practiced when we have a tested and functioning vaccine. That way we can fee...l confident that we are protecting our vulnerable population. Without a vaccine, herd immunity becomes risky when dealing with large populations. The idea is to fortify enough individuals so that the virus no longer has anywhere to go. With an unvaccinated population, we are risking lives, period. Get curious. Get informed. Do the work. Be mindful where you get your information from.

NEW EPISODE! Listen, in order to dismantle systemic racism and the patriarchy, we need to take care of ourselves. I’m totally serious. Body, mind and soul. We are no good to ourselves and our community if we don’t practice healthy boundaries and take care of this vessel we move in. Janet and I have a nice little chat about our friend Fibre. This humble nutrient is key to a healthy functioning body as it supports the gut and reinforces a strong relationship with the brain. And... it takes out the goddamn trash! Diet trends skip over this hunky bulky nutrient because it’s found in fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. If you are trending on keto or paleo, then you may want to check your fibre. AND supplements are not going to cut it; they do not deliver all the other essential nutrients that you will find in whole foods. Since I’ve been focusing more on fibre, bloating has decreased substantially and my, ahem, hemorrhoid situation has gone away! No joke. As we battle to be more kind + compassionate, grab more fibre, get regular and take down the patriarchy with ease! Healthy Lifestyle Design is a member of @alberta podcast network - Locally grown.
