Struggling to See My Own Strengths: A Journey of Self-Acceptance

Personal Journey, True Stories

A Reflection on Shadow Work, Body Image, and Finding My True Self So far, I’ve been talking about my fears of showing myself, standing up, and standing out. But on the other side of this, is the challenge of embracing who I am, with my values, strengths, qualities, and even what I might call my weaknesses (as I’m learning about shadow work). And that’s been difficult too. Last week, I dug deeper into shadow work, especially for women. I started watching a workshop called The Shadow Side of the Feminine by Maanee Chrystal, and I was surprised by what I learned. I knew but couldn’t connect to what women have been going through, and still are. This adds another layer of trauma to an already long list....

Reflect and integrate As we wrap up this series of 6 articles, it’s time to reflect on the journey we’ve taken together. We’ve explored various strategies to manage our news consumption and enhance our mental well-being. How have you felt about the changes we’ve discussed so far? Remember, this process is about progress, not perfection. Here is the first article if you missed the series. Here are some reflective questions: What have you learned about your news consumption habits? Which of the practices introduced felt most impactful? Have you noticed any changes in how you feel daily since beginning these new practices? Here are some more tips to integrate those new habits in the long term (did you guess I love tips and lists?!): Habit Stacking: Inspired by...

Reduce the amount of news that doesn’t serve you “News is to the mind what sugar is to the body.” - Rolf Dobelli In a recent podcast, I was reminded of a striking fact: our brains are wired for negativity bias, meaning we tend to favor negative information. This inherent predisposition means that negative news often has a more profound impact than positive news. Therefore, removing negative influences can often be more beneficial than merely adding positive ones! Also, in our daily lives, much like in the poignant Zen story of the Angry Young Man and the Buddha, we encounter the “gift” of news—often negative. The tale involves a Zen master who refuses to accept a gift of anger from a young man, illustrating a profound lesson: just...

Yesterday, I tried to get some help from ChatGPT, but it wasn’t working. The page wouldn’t load or react at all. I was using Safari, so I decided to switch to Chrome to see if I’d have better luck. And then ChatGPT greeted me with this message: "ChatGPT is at capacity right now As you read this message, please take a moment to pause and breathe. Notice the sensations in your body and the rythm of your breath...

The Importance of a Daily Wellness Routine to Support Our Emotional Well-Being

November 26, 2024

We all know this deep down: having a daily wellness routine is essential to support our emotional well-being. Yet, for so many reasons, we don’t stick to it. Maybe we feel like we don’t have the time, or perhaps things are going well, and we assume we don’t need it anymore. But inevitably, life throws us a curveball—a tough day, a challenging moment—and we’re reminded of how valuable that daily practice really is, even when we’re feeling okay. Here’s how I explain it to my clients: Think of it like preparing for a concert on the piano. You wouldn’t just show up on stage and expect to play beautifully without regular practice—it would be terrifying! But it’s not just about practicing a lot; it’s about consistency. Practicing...

National Child Day Canada

A few months ago, I was thrilled to receive an invitation from Children First Canada to participate in National Child Day 2024, coming up on November 20th. They asked if I could share mindfulness practices for their event, and of course, I said yes! National Child Day is a fantastic opportunity to support the well-being of children across the country, and I’m honored to contribute. Mindfulness can be such a powerful tool for young minds, helping them cultivate focus, self-compassion, and resilience. Whether in a bustling classroom or a quiet homeschooling setup, these practices offer children the space to slow down, connect with themselves, and navigate their emotions with more ease. I'll be sharing a series of mindfulness practices tailored for the secondary program. These practices are...

Last year, Alexandre Lamic from Radio-Canada contacted me to do a short video of me and my work teaching mindfulness to children and teens. I'm happy to share the final video :) it's very short, only 2 minutes, I have so much more to share! This is a start. It came out in July 2024, and it's already almost November. As you can tell I'm either busy or procrastinating, or both. I'm sorry. I'll try to do better. Here it is, in French. I'll do my best to share a translation soon.

Raving testimonial from a dad practicing mindfulness

I'd like to share an unusual story-testimonial involving a client I had the pleasure of teaching at the start of the year. The transformation he underwent was remarkable, and it was incredible to witness his growth and shifts along the way. Truly inspiring! That's why I asked him for a longer testimonial than usual—to capture and reflect on the journey we both experienced. I also decided to write my own account of the events, so we could have a complete perspective on what transpired. I've changed the names to maintain anonymity. You'll find my story below his.   Peter's testimonial: "My journey in mindfulness started unintentionally. My first session was about supporting another family member by tagging along. Now I think back on it, such a purposeless attitude probably gave me...

Help! How do I get my kid to wear an eyepatch?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You: "Help! How do I get my kid to wear an eyepatch?" Me: "Co-Regulation and Self-Regulation To the Rescue!" About a month ago, one of my clients asked me for advice on how to deal with her 6-year-old daughter who resisted wearing her eyepatch. Her parents had already searched online and tried everything they could find, but nothing seemed to work. I was tempted to do the same search and hope to stumble upon a solution they missed, but I decided not to go down that route. I knew I had to think outside the box or simply admit that I had no clue. So, I told the mom I'd think about it and let her know if I had any suggestions. Since I teach mindfulness to kids and...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A few month ago, just before summer, a few parents showed interest in me teaching mindfulness to their children during the summer 2021. Although I was looking forward to 2 months "off" (off teaching, but working on my business), I wasn't going to let a few children who needed help be on their own. So I said Yes! Teaching a 7yo boy and his dad I taught a sweet 7 year old boy. He is very smart, knows a lot of the practices already, but attention is not his forte. It was a pleasure to help him discover some new mindfulness tricks. The best part was to see him do it with his dad. I taught them both together. It was very sweet to see them send...
