In this series, we find and follow the thread that binds biology, psychology, and theology (aka the body, mind, and soul). Many are suffering from the symptoms of being identified as the body and the mind. But we are not these things; we are the knower, the experiencer, the witness. The first step to releasing suffering is to remember who and what we are, and understand the beautiful tools, or instruments, that the mind and body were created to be. Join us as we explore the physical body and the subtle body – made up of mind, intellect, and energy – and the experiencer of it all.

Post-holiday debt can pile up quickly. Rising interest rates and the cost of living, food and fuel can become very overwhelming. Sometimes gambling can be seen as a quick fix to achieve financial relief. When we’re vulnerable, gambling can cost us more than money; it can also cost our relationships, our mental and physical health. If finances are tight, seek credit counselling; talk to your bank or financial advisor. Gambling is meant to be entertainment and not a solution to financial problems.

Unfortunately, many older adults fail to recognize the symptoms of depression, or don’t take the steps to get the help they need. There are many reasons why elderly depression is often overlooked. You may assume that is just part of aging, or you may be isolated with few people around to notice your distress. You also may be reluctant to ask for help. Of course, when you’re depressed, putting steps into action can be hard, but taking a short walk, for example, can boost your mood for the next two hours. By taking small steps day by day, you’ll find yourself feeling more energetic and hopeful again. Reach out for help if you are struggling.

Q: I wear progressives most of the time but I take them off for reading. For my next set of glasses would it be ok to get them just for distance vision?

A: Maybe, but it sounds like you’ve adapted well to the progressive lenses and you’re probably using them a lot more than you realize – for looking at your dashboard, glancing at your watch or phone, and doing tasks around the house or workplace. You would save money by not getting progressive lenses, but you would lose convenience.

The new year is a great time to make positive resolutions to improve your health.
