Jason’s Mental Health Tips
Splitting is the inability to see circumstances, relationships and situations as having both good and bad qualities. This polarized view of looking at the world can take a toll - when in reality, the good and the bad can, and often do, exist together.
Song: Portland Maine by Donovan Woods
With Covid-19 restrictions changing, the horrors of the traumas of residential schools through the discovery of buried children, and the forest fires plaguing British Columbia, it is perfectly acceptable to have mixed and many emotions.
Jason wants to encourage you to feel your emotions; you can start to process them in doing so.
This month with COVID fatigue rearing its head, I want to encourage you to tend to your health and wellness holistically. With the entire world having gone through a year of uncertainty, economic disruption, social connections being distanced and growing mental, physical, and spiritual health concerns, it is important to tend to each part of the self to experience continued wellness.
This means more than just eating kale and chia seeds (though those can have health benefits too!), and includes each part of yourself.
Look at the Wellness Wheel below, I would encourage you to take inventory of where your levels are at and strategies ways to increase your experience in the areas that might not be so full. A round wheel functions the best. What we want to see are whole and full sections representing health in all areas!
