New Mini-Series: Self-Care Spring Cleaning w/ Dr. Pearson

May is Mental Health month, so we thought it was the perfect time to launch our new Self-Care Spring Cleaning mini-series. The first webisode is tomorrow night and Sarah and I are so excited to talk to everyone about how to declutter and tune-up our emotional and mental health - including strategies we use personally and in practice. There is still time to register at www.drblakepearson.org/events 

Huge thanks to Tyler Kula at The Observer for helping us get the word out.

Common Signs of Distress - Remember the Five M's

To say we're facing challenging times, may be an understatement; however, now more than ever, it's important to stay mentally and physically strong.

Last week we shared our Five M’s to help you cope with any COVID-19 related anxiety you may be experiencing.

As we head into another week of physical distancing, it’s also important to recognize the warning signs of distress in yourself and your loved ones.

Heightened levels of stress are extremely normal in times of turmoil and the Five M’s can help you keep anxiety levels at bay. However, if distress impacts your daily life for several days or weeks, don’t hesitate to contact your doctor, counsellor or local CMHA branch. 

We're all in this together. Stay home & stay safe…and if you need to talk to someone, know that there are people out there to help.

Lockdown Learning Series: Free Virtual Event

As we head into another week of physical distancing and at-home isolation, it is critical to connect with others and practice self-care.

I’ve teamed up with experts in the fields of medicine, fitness, nutrition, relationships, and more, to bring you a live e-learning series that will bring us together and keep our minds and bodies strong—all while having a little fun!

In our first session, I’ll be joined by nutrition and fitness expert, Adam Vanhoogenhuize from O2 Fuel, and we’ll be sharing our top tips for boosting your immune system, managing pain, improving sleep, and adding a little activity into your day, while you’re not able to take part in your regular activities.

Learning something new and engaging in activities you enjoy are the foundation of self-care and key to helping you stay positive & healthy at this time.  We can’t wait to connect with you at our first event!
