On Wednesday this week, I had a lab seminar to attend at Rouge Restaurant in Calgary. The Seminar was put on by Rocky Mountain Analytical Labs. The title was Conventional Serum Testing Case Review presented by Jeanette Queen, NP. The seminar was a great review of conventional testing in practice. What was interesting to me is what happened when I was walking home. I know it is important to pay attention to what shows up in your environment to see how the universe might be guiding you. Your environment around you is always talking to you. If you pay attention to it, you may start feeling more connected which is important at this time. I try to pay attention to my environment and what it might be telling me. I decided to walk to Rouge for my exercise. It took me much longer than I thought it would 45 minute walk each way. When I was walking home I was tired but what showed up was a huge beaver walking on the upper trail back. It was beautiful. It almost looked pregnant to me. Because I was more focused on walking back before it got dark I did not take a picture of it. I knew that was a sign to me because that is not something that happens. When I got home, I looked up a beaver and what it means to see one. It talks about your goals and if you have been putting them off or seeing more obstacles in your way. I think the pandemic certainly has interfered with my speaking business. That is a goal I need to recommit to. Beaver energy can be difficult to sustain so asking yourself if you need to rest and reprioritize some things is important as well. Beavers are determined and purposeful, resourceful and committed to their family. Making time for your loved ones is just as important as working all the time. I need to create balance in my life. I tend to overwork and push myself beyond my limits all the time. I am grateful to see a beaver this week to help me reestablish what I feel are important goals without overtaxing myself in the process. Can you pay more attention to your environment so you feel more connected in your life. Hope you are enjoying the warmer weather.

Non-Negotiables
With today’s amount of chronic stress and unpredictable situations that may arise that we have to respond to on any given day, we need to have some non-negotiables in our daily lives to ground us and keep us accountable. I suggest that you create some non-negotiable practices in your daily life. I do a daily meditation to keep me accountable and to reduce my stress. I do a meditation that is from Deepak Chopra. It takes me twenty minutes to do it. I do it every day and it is non-negotiable. It helps me feel connected to my source. I call my source God but you may have another word for your source. Everyone has their own beliefs about life. It comforts me to have a relationship with God. This is a non-negotiable for me. I also have to exercise daily at least 30 minutes per day. I like to walk and may try to start running a little as the ice and snow are melting in Alberta. This helps me sleep really well at night so this is another non-negotiable for me. M nutritional habits are a must for me to remain in remission so my diet is free of gluten, dairy and sugar. I eat a mainly plant based diet but I am flexible. My partner brought over a roast last night for dinner and I enjoyed eating a slice as it was slow cooked and delicious. I had made a large salad with cabbage, broccoli, carrots, kale and pears and it complimented it perfectly. Spending time with people that you love is a non-negotiable. Connections are important for optimal health. Lastly, giving thanks is a non-negotiable. Gratitude practices are associated with optimal health and longevity. Spending 5 minutes in the morning being thankful for all my blessings and spending 5 minutes at the end of the day being thankful for all my blessings is non-negotiable. I hope you can come up with your own non-negotiables to make your life one in which you can thrive. Until next time, be well.

Last Post about Treating Eating Disorders
Hi everyone- I spent some time at the Okotoks salvage yard on the weekend. While my partner looked for salvage bikes that he could buy, I looked through all the books. They have an incredible volume of used books that are for sale for next to nothing, Because my partner gets caught up with things, I thought if I can find some books to read, that will occupy me for a time. There are plenty of used comfortable chairs to sit in close to the books. I love to read so this is like a vacation for me. I found a book published in 2018 called ‘Starving in Search of Me’ by Marissa LaRocca. I read the entire book yesterday because I had the time to… It is a valuable book that I feel can help those struggling with an eating disorder. She talks about feeling different from a young age and details her struggles with fitting in and finding her identity. She argues that what people most need who are struggling with an eating disorder is love and acceptance for who they are. I can’t agree more. Thank you for writing this great book Marissa. I highly recommend reading it if you are struggling with an eating disorder. I wanted to let you know that I have a special rate on my Emotional Freedom Technique and counseling for the hour right now. My rate is $80 for the hour if you book 4 sessions. I really love the work I do with clients and feel it is so valuable for the clients that I see. To book a session with me, call Parallel Wellness at 403-232-1283 Kind regards, Dr. Robin Vinge, ND
