Not a day has gone by in the last 6 years that I haven’t put effort into my well-being. With depression you gotta do what you gotta do. But it’s good stuff: exercise, connection, meditation, nature etc. Find what brings you light and repeat, repeat, repeat. #defeatdepression

Twitter 2009. I like apples. I like pears. That’s cool. Yeah. Twitter 2018. I like apples. So you’re anti pears then. No, I just prefer apples. So you hate pears. I never said that. Fucking pear hater. I don’t hate pears! Yes you do. You make me sick. Scum.

The Ontario government recently gave 43 of their MPPs a $16,000 raise, bringing their salary to $132,500/year. So why are they refusing to provide a decent wage to Ontario’s lowest paid education workers, who make $39,000/year & are just asking for a $3.25/hour raise to survive?

Sending out love on World Mental Health Day. If you’re struggling, you are not alone. Hang in there. You never know if tomorrow is the day things will get easier. 💛

When stress strikes I feel depression peaking it’s head around the corner & I recommit to the habits/supports that saved me the first time ‘round. I remember that depression is not me, it’s something I go through temporarily. Having that objectivity helps.

Since recovering I’ve re-engaged with life, joined team sports, found my dream job, set healthy boundaries, and jumped back into community. Learning about well-being is my passion. I have passion!! What?!? I had no idea in that darkness that I’d ever be filled up like this again.

When you’re struggling you can’t imagine life will get easier. I lived with depression for 2 years & life passed me by while an invisible elephant sat on my chest. I did all the things one is supposed to do and it made no difference. Until one day it did and the darkness lifted.

The treatment is simple: be totally patient & kind with yourself cause you’re the boss of your own well-being 💛

Covid Stockholm Syndrome: when a pandemic traps you at home on-and-off for years and eventually you begin to identify with your captor and then even when they set you free you’re like: “but I got used to being a recluse! It’s weird out here!”

With depression I needed 1st to feel heard & believed about the storm in my head, THEN I was ready to push forward in therapy. If you love someone who is struggling, start with “I’m sorry. That must be hard.” It helped get me back to my carefree, dorky self a little quicker. 💛

If you’re going to try quiet quitting to find more balance, don’t fill up your new spare time with screens & tasks. Leave time open for walks & daydreams & tea sipping. Get bored. Breathe deep in silence. Otherwise you’re just swapping out one type of busyness for another.

Best description of #empathy that I have encountered. P. 123

@BreneBrown

#atlasoftheheart Much more nuanced than “walking in someone else’s shoes”. This is life-changing 💜

We need to dispel the myth that empathy is ‘walking in someone else’s shoes.’ Rather than walking in your shoes, I need to learn how to listen to the story you tell about what it’s like in your shoes and believe you even when it doesn’t match my experiences.

I love sharing my grandpa’s advice “you do the best you can with what you know at the time. Then you forgive yourself and move on.” Speaking from experience; forgiving yourself is easier when you stop holding grudges against others. Grace is a beautiful quality & benefits all.

Folks, I hope you’ll take a moment to love yourself for all the hard work you do to make it through challenges. You’re stronger than you think and you’ve made it this far. Breathe & celebrate the wins. Sending peaceful wishes your way. 🕊

I am stronger & more informed than before. More compassionate to others & kinder to myself. I’m grown wiser to you depression & I see you coming a mile away. You are something I experience but you don’t define my life. Thriving after setbacks like you; THAT defines my life.

Pope Francis begs forgiveness for abuses at residential schools: A close look at the papal apology

In an address before thousands in Maskwacis, Alta., the Pope gave a formal apology for the church’s role in Canada’s residential school systems. The Globe’s Patrick White, Willow Fiddler and Tavia...

I use Insight Timer cause I’m cheap and it’s free - just type in what you’re feeling and poof - there’s (usually) a meditation for that! 💛

While there's no meditation for such specific issues as "anxiety related to passport renewal wait times" or "I get nervous at the dentist office", there are meditations for the broader stressors in life and it's still a lovely way to unwind.

I sing in my presentations to shake things up & celebrate life. Sometimes you gotta start your own party 🎉 even without an invitation. Hope you’re finding time to do something that makes you feel alive & in-the-moment. And don’t worry about looking goofy - you get used to it 😉.

When my kids were little and I’d bring them to the paediatrician’s office, the doctor ended each visit by saying “Jess, you’re doing great.” I was doing terribly, but I loved the reassurance. So whoever needs to hear this: “Hey (insert your name here), you’re doing great!” 💛
