We all have off days. It can be hard to find mental balance, whether it's due to a stressful situation, personal life issues, or just being in a funk. 

The good news is that there is one practice that you can use to help improve your low mood—taking in the good. Taking in the good is a 4-step process developed by Dr. Rick Hanson. Its main focus is to take the time to recognize and savour beneficial experiences. It is supported by a peer-reviewed study on learning to learn from positive experiences, published via the Journal of Positive Psychology.

In this episode of Punks Unite Podcast, I share how to apply these steps to your day-to-day life.

Taking in the good isn't always easy when we're feeling down or overwhelmed by daily stressors but making an effort towards actively recognizing small moments of happiness throughout our days will go a long way towards improving our overall wellbeing and mental balance. 

Try incorporating this 4-step practice into your daily routine so that when those low days come around again, you'll have more tools available for coping well!

Wintertime can be tough for those struggling with anxiety or depression. The days are shorter, the weather is colder, and it feels like everyone is happily celebrating while you're stuck feeling down. But don't worry, there are things you can do to lift your mood this winter! In this episode I share one of my favourite tips: dancing. Dancing is a great way to boost your mood and get moving, plus it's a lot of fun. So give it a try and see how you feel (moshing in a pit is included in my definition of dancing).

Improving flexibility is the main goal of any stretching. However, knowing what stretches to do and when to do them to achieve the most optimal results is not always easy.

In this episode of Punx Unite Podcast I take a look at how to improve flexibility of the body. It’s important to note that to improve your flexibility and motion you need to do a range of types of stretching. However, today while I will mention other types of stretching, my main focus is dynamic stretching.

We’re going to look at what is dynamic stretching including types of dynamic stretches, when you should do dynamic stretching, how it improves flexibility, and the difference between dynamic stretching and static stretching, and how to incorporate it into your workout, yoga practice or if you’re in a band, when and why you should do it before going onto stage.
