As Dan Harris says, "There's no point in being unhappy about things you can't change, and no point being unhappy about things you can."

So ... if we are fortunate enough to have choices in life, how about saying YES a little more to the stuff that can make us feel happier?

Abundant research shows us that behaviour that is repeated with accountability and community sticks. The Wellness Intelligence Collective is an online space where you will find me every day .. together, we are a community of people who are creating a better feeling world. May was (another) great month in The Wellness Intelligence Collective (TWIC) ... below is an at-a-glance recap that will hopefully inspire you to spend a little time scrolling a space that feels happy and hopeful.

SNAPSHOT OF THE MONTH ... 

If you aren't a client who comes into, or has been to, my office in Toronto and only sees me on zoom, you might think my office is super tidy and everything is in place. Thanks to my son, Ryan, for laughing, capturing this photo, and for calling me ridiculous for having everything from deodorant to cacao, krystaline energy tools to a cast iron pan, and castor oil on my desk. It was for a session I was teaching ... it's not always like this. :)

LESSONS IN EMPATHY ECONOMICS

Every Monday, I share one Lesson in Empathy Economics in TWIC to help guide you to do better with what you use and/or consume ... one little (or big) thing at a time. I have already shared over 100 Lessons - these are what I shared in May.

+ Not All Chewing Gum Is Created Equal
+ Not All Workouts Are Created Equal
+ Not All Coffee Is Created Equal
+ Not All Bandages Are Created Equal

EXERCISE AND SELF-CARE SNACKS

Are you stacking them yet? Self-Care Snacks and Exercise Snacks are shared every Tuesday (alternating weeks). You do NOT need more time, any equipment or tools besides yourself to move better, move more or take care of yourself. I will prove it to you. These are the 'Snacks" we "stacked" in May.

+ Tadasana with Grisel Medina 
+ Doorframe Stretch with Veronika Nemcik
+ One Minute Green Colour Therapy
+ The Shower UnMeditation 
 

FAVOURITE THINGS

It's all about Empathy Economics! Every Wednesday I share one of my Favourite Things, often with a deal for TWIC Members. In May we were quite food focused with a little music too, June kicks off with protective jewelry and an amazing caffeine-free coffee alternative!

+ Michael's Tigernut Milk
+ Give It Time by Goose
+ Emily's Golden Chocolate
+ Lani's Gluten-Free Sourdough Bagels

GOOD HUMAN INTERVIEWS

I share one new interview with a "Good Human" every Thursday ... you'll be inspired by these written interviews with photos (quick skim or in depth read). We learn so much from each other .. you might find guides, clients and/or collaborators, too!

+ David Womack 
+ Ishta Devi
+ Al Bernstein
+ Michael Mosuwaifo
+ Maria Bertrand (and Happy The Sparrow)

AND ... Every Wednesday we are LIVE for a Wellness Intelligence Break at 12 noon EST
Spend 20-30 minutes live online with other members - and most often a special guest! Come see what this weekly virtual gathering of fun/networking/learning/ranting/raving/connection in community is all about.
