Happy Monday everyone! We have another #motivationmonday quote for you all . Today’s quote is all about positivity! We should all try to find something positive in each day, even on the harder days when we aren’t feeling our best. Something as simple as making a list of things you are grateful for can shift your entire mood. We live in a time that is so fast paced and it is so easy to get overwhelmed. Taking a step back and finding some positivity to your day can go a long way! Let us know in the comments what’s positive about your day today . . . . #wellness #dentistry #dentist #womenindentistry #inspiration #wellbeing #wellnesseducation #toronto #womenwhoinspire #womeninspiration #mindfullness #positivity#motivationmonday

No matter your choice of activity, whether it be yoga, going for a run, indoor or even outdoor cycling, we'd love to hear what ways y...ou're staying active so we can motivate each other as a community.

Calcium is such an important part of the healthy development of your teeth! This is Virginia Holsinger, she studied lactose products and was a huge part of the development of lactose-free milk products for those of us who are lactose intolerant! Posted @withregram @stemfellowshipyorku Happy #WomenInSTEMWednesday! Virginia Holsinger was a chemist who studied dairy products. Specifically, she created a grain blend that when mixed with water, would provide food for those affected by war, drought, and famine. Through her study of lactase, she also developed the basis for commercial products that allowed milk to be digested by lactose-intolerant customers. #STEM #WiSW #WomeninSTEM #STEMFellowship #science #inspiration

Social media is known for its highlight reels and positive posts. But sometimes too much positivity can make you wonder why things arent that way for you all the time. The important lesson is that it really is just that: a highlight reel. Youre seeing all the good, and none of the bad. So dont let your ice cream melt while counting somebody elses sprinkles :). . . . #positivity #inspiration #womensdentistry #womenindentistry #icecream #love #womenleaders
