What are you practicing?

[This landed in my inbox today as part of James Clear’s weekly 3-2-1 newsletter (author of Atomic Habits).]

"Two simple rules:

1. You get better at what you practice.

2. Everything is practice.

Look around and you may be surprised by what people are “practicing" each day. If you consider each moment a repetition, what are most people training for all day long?

Many people are practicing getting mad on social media. Others are practicing the fine art of noticing how they have been wronged. Still more have mastered the craft of making plans (but never following through).

But, of course, it doesn't have to be that way.

What are you practicing?"

Bill C-59 received Royal Assent yesterday, so Registered Psychotherapists no are longer required to charge HST on Psychotherapy as of today. This brings our services in line with other health care workers and Registered Social Workers.

This applies in regulated provinces, which includes Ontario.

Did a little more work on my office this weekend, and a huge smile came across my face when I walked in this morning!

I had originally intended to keep the large front room open for things like yoga classes, but I’ve been leaning recently towards creating a more comfortable “lounge“ space to offer things like group sessions. Finally finished plumbing in the new sink and moved these two leather couches in this weekend… super excited about the possibilities for the space!

I was also delighted to find the temperature in here “Goldilocks and the Three Bears just right” this morning, which is important in the heat and humidity we’ll be experiencing this week :)

It was a pleasure leading a Healthy Movement & Stress Management workshop for the gang at Frolic Design’s staff day yesterday. It’s always wonderful to see employers who demonstrate their care for their team through tangible action. Thanks for the opportunity :)
