November meeting with Lanark County Mental Health's Director

We have finished SFT

Strengthening Families Together is done for the season. Six people took the course and the responses have been mostly positive. I learned about some relaxation exercises to do for self care. I have often tried to find an hour or more to put aside to do meditation, but there are many ways we can learn to relax our bodies and quiet our minds in a shorter timespan. Unfortunately, relaxation doesn't rank high in priority when dealing with our busy work and home lives, so finding ways to let some tension go during our day is important.
Here is a link to a WebMD article listing many ways to incorporate a relaxation habit into your day. I like number 5.
