  • Wellness Corner: mental health habits to keep in 2022

     

    We made it to the penultimate day of the year. Let that sink in. There have been many highs and lows as the year progressed. There were a few silver linings along the way: it was reconnecting with nature, family or friends, recalibrating how you approach work and rediscovering what’s really important to you. As we look forward to the new year, what are the healthy new habits we can adopt to help us improve our daily routines? Conversely, what are the unhealthy habits and patterns that we are leaving behind in 2021?

  • Wellness Corner: Narcissism and Mental Health

    Every parent believes that their child is the best and the brightest, particularly in the earliest days of their parenthood journey. However, the process of nurturing of this new life should not grow into a narcissistic attachment that impacts the child’s later emotional development. Some parents are driven to control their children and wield their power in the family hierarchy, often using their children in a variety of ways to maintain the narcissist’s sense of self and inflated ego.

    As the new year draws near, there are several ways in which we can let go of the things that no longer serve us in order to receive new prosperity or abundance.

Our next guest will assist us in identifying what it is we can keep, toss or store
