Feeling stressed with tasks and responsibilities? Stress can pile up in our lives if we struggle to keep everything in order. If you’re looking for a way to improve your time management, consider using a planner to organize your time! Writing out tasks is a great visual aid to help us manage daily responsibilities and ensure that we are keeping up with all that life throws our way. Have a great week, Argos!

Get out for a walk! Going for regular walks can have an array of benefits such as improving circulation, supporting joints, and strengthening muscles. Consider walking around your neighborhood, on a treadmill, on a trail or at the beach. Keeping track of your steps can be a great motivator for daily walks. Try for 8,000-10,000 steps per day. Track them using a fitness watch, pedometer, or steps tracking app such as Pacer.

Yesterday, June 21st was International Yoga Day! Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice originating from India. ‘Yoga’ is a Sanskrit word meaning unite. The union of the body and consciousness helps cultivate a balance within. Just 15 minutes of yoga every day can lead to improved respiration, increased athletic performance, improved cardiovascular health, and injury prevention. How did you celebrate International Yoga Day? Have a balanced week! 🧘🏽♂️🧘🏻

The week of June 15th – June 21st is Men’s Health Week. This week is a time to discuss and bring awareness to health issues that disproportionately affect men. According to the Men’s Health Forum the focus of last year’s Men’s Health Week was diabetes which can occur more severely in men causing a higher number of amputations in these cases. The focus of this health week is to raise awareness of the presence of diabetes, cholesterol, prostate, colorectal cancer and other diseases that may affect men and to encourage them to continue to get their annual physical checkups for early diagnosis and treatment. Lastly, it is a way to encourage men to be open in discussing any health issues or health concerns. Remember! Early diagnosis and early treatment often end in a better outcome for our health!
