I don't know about you but I sure don't need any more sources of stress in my life! I think I will keep my carbs, thanks.✌️⁣ ⁣ 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴.

Did you know our body has an entire endocannabinoid system?!⁣ ⁣ The link to the article can be found in my bio.⁣⁣ ⁣ Have you ever tried CBD? I'm curious to hear about your experiences.🌿⁣ ⁣ Sponsored by @icaria.co, a woman-owned CBD company committed to empowering busy female professionals to practice #ConsciousSelfCare

For example, maybe it's related to exercise because we're often moving when in nature, or maybe this finding has to do with financial status (having access and time to take in green spaces). But studies show that it's not about exercise or money!⁣ ⁣ One study found no relationship between access to green space and the amount of exercise that people did. In addition, another study found that when people moved to greener areas (with no change in income), their mental health improved each year for three consecutive years.⁣ ⁣ It appears that just 20 to 30 minutes of a "nature pill" can reduce stress hormones.⁣ ⁣ Are you getting outside today?🍁⁣ ⁣ 📷: By me at Watersprite Lake, Squamish, BC.

I am often asked "What is the best kind of workout for PCOS?" My answer is whichever one you will gladly do!⁣ ⁣ I'm confident there is some form of movement out there for everyone. We're all different so what gets me fired up may not be your thing, which is totally okay!⁣ ⁣ Being a badass in the gym sets my soul on 🔥. I find getting stronger physically fun! I see dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, and ropes and it feels like I'm a kid at the playground again.⁣ ⁣ You'll even see I mess up during the last exercise. I was trying a new exercise I saw @ufitnesstrainer doing. Well, the kettlebell gets caught on my booty #JLoBootyProblems, and then I laughed at myself. It's not about being an all-star in the gym. It's about enjoying myself. That's what keeps me coming back.🏋🏻‍♀️😄
Instagram post 18075242665190886 #WorldMentalHealthDay 🍁🍂⁣ We live in a world that people don’t want to live in anymore, and that breaks my heart. This isn’t an individual issue, it is systemic. I see well-meaning posts aimed at mental health sufferers like “reach out” or “get support”, but, as a mental health sufferer myself, I recognize how these sentiments are only a start. First, these suggestions assume that we all have the physical, mental, emotional, and/or financial ability and means to reach out for support. Secondly, these statements assume that mental health sufferers aren’t reaching out, but many of us are. I was diagnosed with major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, and panic attack disorder during my PhD. I openly shared my experiences with friends, family, co-workers, partners, etc. Guess what? I met far more people who didn’t understand than people who did. I was treated differently from that point, and this led to various unfortunate outcomes. I experienced the stigma we are hearing about today. This is where the problem lies.⁣ ⁣ “People suffering from mental illness and other mental health problems are among the most stigmatized, discriminated against, marginalized, disadvantaged and vulnerable members of society.” – Dr MJ Johnstone ⁣ So my plea today is that we⁣ 1) LISTEN and BELIEVE people when they share their stories. 2) If we have the capacity, we check-in with others. They may be having a dark day. Ask them what they need from us in this moment.⁣ 3) We choose when, where, and who we want to reach out to. There ARE people who will understand us and provide the support we need, so keep looking. Once I found those people, my feelings were validated and I am extremely grateful for them.⁣ ⁣ 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦.
