NATURAL + NON-TOXIC LIVING
EARTHING CANADA
The Earth is like a gigantic battery that contains a natural, subtle electrical charge. Earthing, also known as grounding, is simply making physical connection between the electrical frequencies of our body with that of the Earth.
Think barefoot on the grass or the beach. When you are electrically grounded, you feel balanced, less tense + less stressed.
Scientific research has shown that earthing can help decrease levels of inflammation and pain, improve circulation and reduce stress.

PRODUCTIVITY
FOCUS BOOSTER
Have you heard of the Pomodoro technique?
Set the timer for 25 mins, focus and work until time’s up, then take a 5 min break. This is 1 Pomodoro.
You can do more than 1 Pomodoro for each task. For every 4 Pomodoros, take a 30 min break.
Believe it or not, this can really help you up your time management game.
You can do this with your kids as well and adjust the Pomodoro to 10, 15 and 20 mins depending on their age and concentration span.

It’ll improve your productivity by reducing distractions and up-leveling your time management.
