23 December 2021 by Esther Kane

Eating mindfully at Christmas dinner

Now that we’re in the midst of full-on holiday celebrations which include buffets of all the foods you can’t resist, combined with the stress of increased socializing, present-buying, and family get-togethers, I’m guessing you aren’t paying that much attention to how much you’re eating, what you’re eating, or … [Read more...] about Holiday Celebrations: Practising Mindful Eating

Three Easy Steps to Minimize Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

19 December 2021 by Esther Kane

This is my busiest time of year. Why? Because a lot of people are feeling really blue and they don’t understand why. They come to me feeling desperate in the hopes that I will help them get their “pep” back.

narcissists

It seems we've hit the cooler weather with grey skies that often keeps us hiding indoors wrapped in a blanket by the fireplace. It is during these months that my husband and I turn to playing board games when we cannot enjoy walking outside much or riding our bikes, let alone sunbathing.
