LONG WEEKEND FEELS :: does the end of the long weekend have you feeling refreshed & reaching for the stars... or heavy as a rock dreading the week ahead? Ease yourself in, setting a goal each day the next 4 days to do 1 thing for fun/pleasure (5 min walk outdoors, long hot shower & your favourite body lotion, try a new food, wearing an outfit that makes you feel damn good!) 1 thing that leaves you feeling accomplished (make your bed, folding a basket of laundry, sending an... email you’ve been putting off, rearranging your work space at home for a change of scenery) & 1 point of social connection (walking coffee date outdoors, doing a virtual sweat date workout with a friend, a phone call or letter to a friend that lives a distance away). . . @radmencreative . . #health #wellness #balance #mindfulness #mindfulliving #mentalhealth #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #psychology #healthypsychology #goals #goalsetting #intentionalliving #intentionsetting #intention #planner #workingmom @iamwellandgood #wellnessjourney @runwild.mychild @kidswhoexplore @tourismcalgary See more

MINDFUL MOMENTS :: these times are stressful & unsettling. Whether taking 5 mins or a full day walking, snowboarding, XC skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, skating... make time in your schedule daily for it for your mental + physical + emotional + spiritual health! Being stuck in the same space at home for work, rest, play can feel stifling. You can move your mood & mountains! Tap into your senses, taking in the awe-inspiring natural beauty you see around you, scents of nature, f...eeling of the cool fresh air on your skin & filling your lungs, the sounds & sensations as your feet connect with the ground below... If you need a challenge to build in accountability & tracking, join me in the @runcalgary #wintermoves challenge! It’s for all ages, our whole family is registered for the 40 & 80 hours moving outdoor challenges this winter season . . . #getout #getoutside #nature #mountains #mountainmama #mindfulness #youvegotthis #winter #snowboarding #outfam #outfamcommunity @sheshredsco @sheshredscommunity #health #wellness #mindfulliving #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #canada @explorecanada @nationalparkscanada @albertaadventuregirls @peaksnowboarding @radmums_ @travelalberta #rockymountains @sunshinevillage @burton . . . my sweet friend & mama to @ridin_little_princess from a good physical distance

KIDS ARE WISE :: listened to my kid today... mama it’s good to feel fast when everything feels soooooooooooo slow & I’d add to that in watching my eldest shred it’s good to feel weightless when everything feels so ... HEAVY Find an activity that helps you feel weightless or that you just fall into the ZONE doing. I am taking in everything from my mindfulness for athletic peak performance trianing at UCSD a few years back & learning how to drop into the zone as much a...s I can these days. Today it was hitting @shredssv @sunshinevillage & finding my way across features.. check out my stories or DM for activity menus if you’re stuck on where to find your flow. . . . . gear #gifted by @burton . #sportspsych #pandemicpsych #thezone #findflow #snowday #snowboarding #snowboard @sunshinevillage @ampacademysnowboard @snowboardcanada See more

FINDING THE FUN :: it’s #fridayfamilyfunday over here & we’re finding the fun in the mountains. Staying safe with our @buffcanada filter masks & homemade lunches with all the goodies from @spudalberta we had delivered to our doorstep... doing what we can to make it through this winter that’s gonna be like no other. It’s a lot of work to get a whole family geared up for safe outdoor adventures but I promise it’s worth it. We choose @burton for super durable clothes for the w...hole crew, & even gortex for kids gear which they need with closed or limited access to indoors on ski hills this season. If you have any questions how, I’m happy to share as an outdoor fam with 3 kiddos! DM or comment below Stay safe out there friends, & find your fun . . . #findyourfun #getoutside #outfam #adventure #outdoors #nature #mountains #rockymountains #outfamcommunity #wintersports #ski #snowboarding #snowday #fridayvibes #weekend #momlife #snowboardingfamily #canada See more

HOW ARE YOU? :: Everyone is going through this transition, we’re all trying different ways to stay connected in our families, neighbourhoods, & the global community. It is important to take care of our mental health. The ability to recognize psychological issues in ourselves & others is going to be critical this winter. It’s customary to ask people how are you doing & this has become just a part of our dialogue we often don’t wait for a response or are crafting our next c...omment in our mind while the other persons responds. I’d encourage you to make eye contact, & TRULY ask those around you (zoom or physically distanced) how they are doing. Make eye contact, slow down, just be with them. Hear them (which you can do at any distance!). Not everyone is comfortable or able to access the help of a trained mental health professional. Likewise many (I find especially moms) are taking care of others & don’t attend to or feel their experiences are worthy of reaching out for help. Right this moment make a list of 5 people who will be YOUR PEOPLE this winter. And for each or those people reach out to them today to ask hey, how ARE you?. You may see them post perfection online but there may be more going on behind the scenes. . . #wellness #mentalhealth #support #supportnetwork #help #askforhelp #youarenotalone #howareyou #connection #love #kindness #bekind #mindfulness #mindfulmama #psychologist #healthtips #lifestyle See more
