Resilience assists us in dealing with stressful situations without being overwhelmed and shutting down. Resilience and self-compassion can be built by: 1. Finding like-minded people at workshops and retreats who can introduce you to new coping skills and reinforce the skills you currently have. 2. Making time for yourself (even a couple of minutes) to turn your attention inward. Self-care isn’t selfish. 3. Being kind to yourself. The last few years have been difficult, and burnout is a real thing. Remember, you cannot give from an empty basket. We’re now booking for our upcoming Resilience Rebuilding Workshop.

The Offline Dating Solution
Online dating can be exhausting, dangerous and demoralizing. Hours of searching profiles, followed by unsuccessful date after date can result in dating ‘burn out’. Furthermore, when it comes to online dating, you never know who you are really meeting. You have no idea about their actual age and relationship status, their true intentions or if they have a criminal history. Online dating can be extremely dangerous. This is why I recommend a professional matchmaker. An experienced matchmaker will introduce you to the right match, who is screened, and handpicked for you. Finding true love is important and hiring an experienced matchmaker with a proven track record, could be the best decision you ever make.

Best of all, music is a great way to bond with your child and form connections that can last for many years to come!

Fitness Q&A

A: Working out is important for many reasons, including improved strength, endurance, and flexibility, which improves our quality of life.
