November Of Mens Mental Health

 Another November month is coming and going and if it is any indication, mens mental health remains a top prority even amist a pandemic. Checking in on one another is crucial and men are not easy to open themselves up to other people. Yes there is Movember, which is a cause you can partake in if you wish to grow facial hair but not everyone wants to grow a so called Mo, so supporting such initiative with financial compenstion is okay to do as well. 

This November, the mental health of many has been and continues to be tested in every facet of life. Society at large is testing everyones patience and being calm in the storm of craziness is very key. The mental health of men has been impacted by many issues, scenarios and personal growth accomplishments that month and it is not that easy to put into words when I say "If you need to talk, there are avenues in which you can take". In turn, talking to someone will reinforce you with the recondition that someone is there for you and therefore, up your positive self esteem and make you feel more confortable with yourself. 

As November becomes another memory month, the holiday season is fast approaching and this is extreamly hard for some. The holiday month of December is very hard for some coping with other mental health struggles but some can find comfort with avenues and groups to connect to. 

I give you just one task that you can do from your phone either via email, text or call and that is "make it your mission to check in with at least one person a week or if you are more of a go getter, a day" This little exercise, in turn will positivly help your mindset and help ease your mind as well as the human connection is almost the most powerful trait that we have and that nobody or nothing can break. 

Life as we all know it is very hard but if you put your mind to something or someone and really care about one another in society at large, a plan will be set out for you and you can/will in turn fulfill that plan. 


Happy Almost December, Hope You Had A November Of Impactfulness And Have A Happy Holiday Season and Remember To Take Care Of Yourself. 

"You only have one body, mind, personality and emotional tract, use it wisely and take care of yourself and treat whoever you come across with the utmost respect and enlighten someones day"

Cheers, 

Gord!! :)

Take The Time!

 We often do not take the time that is needed to heal ourselves from the hustle and bustle that life throws at us. In fact, we say that we embrace the challenge but we often do not know what that is doing to our mental/overall well being.  When you are young, you think you can go forever and although that may seem true to most, it is not at all the case. I am a strong believer in the saying "age is just a number" because in hindsight, it is just a numerical value you are given everyday at your birth that keeps going up and up.  How you feel inside and your overall spirit really determines how you really feel. What you put into your body that is like a machine, how you take care of yourself and what you spend your downtime on really is the determination/deciding factor on how you are going to feel. Yes, we all have challenges in life and in situations that we are put in or get put in, but if we remind ourselves to just live everyday like it is our last, we will all have a ...

CONTRAST BETWEEN SPORTS AND INFLATION

 With every facet of your life costing more and more and trying to balance everything like a teeter totter, the one area that is often overlooked is the inflation cost of sports . Working in a industry that is promoting sports for the bettermint of ones health and well-being and being an avid soccer player myself even if it is just house league adult soccer , my mind often shifts to the fact that some people can't afford to play as a result of the rising impact on inflation in sports and it pains me to see this.  Yes, we have funding programs for kids that want to participate in sports but we have to make concrete solutions not temporary fixes and we have to come up with solutions fast. The solution on inflation the cost of a program going up is not clear to navigate and just becasue the cost of something gets in the way of what a child might love to do everyday, doesn't make it right that they cannot play the sport they love. Yes, life is cruel and society is pressing, but so...

Inflation, Spending Habits and Your Positive Initiative

 Do you ever wonder how much inflation has impacted our spending habits and our overall society? It is often a question that I have pondered when going out in about and observing the prices at stores and peoples spending habits.  I really think about my own spending habits and wonder where I can save money in different avenues of my life while still maintaining a social life but I realize that life costs money and if I want to live, I must spend a bit to fulfill some sort of happiness.  The pandemic along with different life events have shaped the Canadian economy for years to come and this will be our new normal but it isn't all bad some will say. We are living, have a roof over our heads and can get to the next day without having to think about what could be or what if something happens.  Some people are not as fortunate and it's definitely tough out there for a lot of people, so be courteous of others and spread a smile or 2 along the way this holiday season. Life...
