Celebrating 100 Years!
It was the third charter in all of Canada to be formed back in 1921, and on November 26th, the Lions Club of Winnipeg officially celebrated 100 years of existence. Hitting the century mark is a big milestone and the service organization celebrated by holding a Gala Dinner at the Hotel Fort Garry on November 20th. The Winnipeg landmark was also the site of the Lions’ very first function, as well as their 50th anniversary. For details to become a member, or to apply for a volunteer position on the Board of Directors with Lions Housing Centres, call 204-784-1236.
Clean Homes and Safe Gatherings
December is a busy time for everyone, with activities like sports, shopping for the holidays and with the New Year soon approaching. Hosting family gatherings requires a lot of work and preparation, and cleaning is a big part of getting things ready for those events. Having cleaning professionals take care of getting your home sparkling clean and ready for your guests can help take some of the pressure off, so you can focus on other things. Keeping your guests safe and healthy is also important and high-touch disinfectant services can help keep your home bacteria and virus free so you can relax and enjoy the day!
Stress and Your Nervous System
Humans cannot withstand being in a long-term state of emergency. When we encounter a stressful “event”, we have an expected physiological response (heart rate increases, pupils dilate, blood shuttles to our extremities and away from our organs), and after a few hours, we should return to a more balanced state. Research shows blood flow increases in our “hindbrain” away from our “forebrain,” meaning we become more emotional vs. rational. Talk to your chiropractor about how stress manifests in your nervous system and what they can do to help. In the meantime, work on lowering stress levels any way you can!
Avoid the Winter Blues
The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines suggest adults should perform at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, as well as two sessions of muscle and bone strengthening activities, to achieve physical AND mental health benefits. With winter coming, and the challenges of leaving home, this can seem daunting! Your physiotherapist can tailor an exercise program designed specifically for you to do inside with minimal space (to help avoid the cold weather!), and with equipment everyone has around their home. At 30 minutes per day, the benefits of exercise are countless, while the side effects are minimal.

Stress Handling With Bioenergetics
Supply chain shortages, new restrictions, inflation – these are just a few of the distressing things that we are bombarded with every day. Add to that, the “normal” stresses of daily life, and there is no doubt that even the strongest can feel overwhelmed. Unmanaged, stress contributes to many health issues such as anxiety, exhaustion, insomnia, depression, and a weak immune system. An alternative approach such as Bioenergetics is highly effective in handling stress. It detects imbalances, or weaknesses, in the stress handling areas of the body, and in turn, stimulates the affected areas to help the mind and body process and handle stress better.
Making Peace with Yourself
Making peace with yourself is simple yet profound. It’s about being comfortable in your own skin and enjoying your own company. Knowing and humbly admitting when things go wrong and gently forgiving yourself for the mistakes you’ve made by learning from them. Knowing what others think of you is none of your business, yet offering your love freely and daring to share your emotions and vulnerability with those you care about. You are fully enough and yet there is a desire to shine even brighter knowing each day is an opportunity to learn and grow. Treat every day as if it’s your birthday and welcome the opportunity to give birth to all of who you want to be.
