What Are You Working For?

What Are You Working For?

Posted on April 28, 2022April 28, 2022 by Heather

Last night my daughter had her first lacrosse game (they won 16-3) so I didn’t have time to write a blog post in the evening. I’m taking just a few minutes to write this morning before leaving for work. While making my smoothie and getting my stuff together for the day, I listened to Todd READ MORE

Give Others The Same Consideration

One of the things that I do at the university is teaching courses to instructors on a variety of aspects of teaching. Frequently they will apologize for needing to miss a class or for not getting an assignment done one time (there are no grades, but still assignments) or for needing some extra help with READ MORE

Block Time and Untouchable Days

Posted on March 31, 2022March 30, 2022 by Heather

It doesn’t matter if you keep a paper to-do list or use an app of some kind, if you don’t have the time to do what’s on your list, it’s pretty pointless. I’ve written before about needing to give yourself time to breathe throughout the day, as well as giving yourself regular time to create READ MORE

Attitude, Awareness, and Authenticity

I’ve been listening to the audiobook of Neil Pasricha’s You Are Awesome (it’s a lot less cheezy than it sounds). I’ve read two other books by him and came across his TED Talk the other day. I watched it and found it thought-provoking, while also funny. I shared it with my teenager and even she READ MORE

Reducing Social Media For Mental Health

Reducing Social Media For Mental Health

Posted on March 8, 2022March 8, 2022 by Heather

A couple of weeks ago I woke up in the morning with my anxiety spiking. I worked out and felt better while working out, but not after. I took my medication, which I do every day. I did some breathing work. No change. Thankfully, I had an already scheduled appointment with my therapist. I told READ MORE

I was listening to a recent podcast from Luvvie Ajayi Jones in which she was talking about not being a “new you” in the new year. There’s a lot of ads for fitness equipment, diet programs, etc. that talk about how their product will help you be “a new you”, but Ajayi said something that READ MORE

Yesterday was Family Day here in Saskatchewan so we had the day off, and as of today I have lived in Canada longer than I lived in the U.S., which is where I was born and raised. We’re calling it my Canada Day and I’m spending it with my family. As such, this post will READ MORE

Saying 'Yes' to Being Consistant

Saying ‘Yes’ to Being Consistant

Posted on February 15, 2022February 15, 2022 by Heather

For the first Better Me Podcast of 2022 I talked about trying to be consistent while not beating myself over some stumbles here and there. Some of the things that I’ve done well at being consistent at during the first six weeks of the year include: I’ve meditated every day for at least five minutes. READ MORE

I’ve written before about my ongoing quest to find a planner that really fits me. I stumbled across The Self-Care Planner from Simple Self and ordered myself one of the Daily Planners that has enough pages in it to last for six months. I’ll write more about the planner later because I like it a READ MORE

Asking Myself Four Questions

Asking Myself Four Questions

Posted on January 20, 2022January 17, 2022 by Heather

I was listening to an episode of Todd Henry’s podcast early last week and it struck a nerve with me. In it, he recommends asking yourself four specific questions to start 2022. He does this every year, but the questions change. The questions this year are: What is my defining question right now? What do READ MORE
