Get Social with GenWell Project.org

4/27/2022

Hi everybody Yvonne Heath here from Love Your Life to Death.

I am taking a little break outside, as I always encourage people to do.
 Five minutes of fresh air, listening to the birds, watching the squirrels and the odd turkey running by.

Today, I'm sharing something very special with you.

My friend Pete Bombaci
is an amazing human who started the GenWell Project
that is focused on generating wellness.
They are addressing social isolation and loneliness
in a world of over 7 billion people.

There are so many in silos of silence and isolation.


We may not be even aware that maybe it's our neighbour next door.
 So twice a year, The GenWell Project encourage us to have
a GenWell Weekend.
This year, 2022, it falls on May 6 through 8th, which is coming up soon. They encourage everyone to have a face to face, social human interaction. Not digital, especially after two years of a pandemic.

(Yes, I know it isn't completely over.) Yet we can still gather even if it is with two people having tea with a neighbour who is lonely.
  Pete and I are so on the same page, we want you to take it even further by just showing up for even more than one person or more than one time.

Better yet, host some sort of social gathering and make it a priority.

It is happening on Mother's Day weekend here in Canada and the United States. Perhaps there are mothers who are lonely, perhaps they cannot be with their children, or perhaps their children have died. Maybe they could just want to celebrate.

 So, let's get everyone together.

Please click below on the video link,
where it explains a little more about the GenWell Project. 
Then please go to the website, you will find that link below, too.
Think about what you might be able to do to increase your social connection and reach out to somebody who perhaps could really use a little company. And of course, then I encourage you to just keep thinking of doing something wonderful to just show up for just one more on a regular basis.

We know that social connection makes a huge difference for people.


 I'm excited on that weekend, I am going to invite my new neighbours to come over to our backyard and have a potluck with appetizers, drinks, music, and the fun of getting to know one another.
  I'd love to know what you are going to do.

Thank you, Pete, for all that you do with the GetWell Project.

It is incredible.

​ Please post what you are planning to do or what you did, I so look forward to reading more about what everyone planned on their special weekend. Thanks everyone. Bye for now.

Gratitude

4/13/2022

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here from Love Your Life to Death.

I am so full of gratitude!

I am so grateful for all of those who have followed our weekly vlog
since May 2016.


2016! It will be six years, next month!

 Incredible how so many of you reach out to me to comment and say thank you for the information I've shared.
It truly has meant the world to me, and continues to mean
the world to me.

As we grow and evolve,
as we navigate this journey we call life together,
Love Your Life to Death is now focusing on a few different projects:
our flagship program is Get Ready For Grief and we're going to start to do new webinars. And of course, I have my wonderful weekly show  at Win Win Women called Navigating Grief with Heart and Humour 

Here,  I would love for you to join me every week.
It's 30 minutes of content and then following we get to have a real-time conversation for 30 minutes. It’s live on Wednesdays at 10am EST.  

Now, gentlemen, you are welcome to go into the archives and watch the shows because navigating grief with heart and humor
applies to everyone.

Therefore, in thinking over all the projects we are doing,
I've decided post my vlogs every other week instead of every week.

 I can continue to connect with you while still focusing on my shows and everything else I will be doing. With this in mind, I would love to hear what you would like me to focus on and also let me know which vlogs have meant a lot to you. Especially, those which were very helpful, because I want to continue to learn as I share information.

Evolve and grow.

We are all in this together
as we prepare for and navigate
grief transitions and end- of -life.

Let’s not forget the heart and humor.

So... thank you, thank you, thank you for Just Showing Up!
Every time you share a comment, it is the fuel that keeps me going.
As I said, we can support one another, we can learn together, and we can do this differently. We can do better, can't we by normalizing conversations and addressing the elephant in the room?

Take good care. Reach out anytime.  You know that I will always just show up for you. Thanks, and bye for now.

Taking a Social Media Break

4/6/2022

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here from Love Your Life to Death.

  I just wanted to share that a couple of weeks ago
I found myself very overwhelmed and overstimulated.
There's a lot going on in the world, and a lot going on in social media.
I decided to take a social media break…
like a weeklong vacation from social media!
 And I have to say, at first, I felt this weird sense of panic,
FOMO (fear of missing out) or I didn't want to miss saying
"happy birthday"to someone because it's meaningful.
I didn't want to miss someone who was struggling
and maybe needed me to reach out.

 
  I let that go. I took that break.

 I took a whole week off away from any social media. And I have to say that it was incredibly rejuvenating for my brain. It's something that I am going to continue to do maybe one day, during the week, on the weekends, whatever, to just not engage in social media, as wonderful a platform as it is. We all know we can go down the “rabbit hole” and spend so much time and get lost in the negativity-- which I do my very best to avoid. But it really is, it is good for our brains.
 
 We are overstimulated. 24/7.


 I just wanted to share that with you and I wanted to encourage you to think, "Hmm, where could I take breaks from social media?" 
We all can,we can survive without it.
It has become a part of our lives ,it's a wonderful part in many ways. 
I still believe we should take breaks every week, every day,
and putting your phone away before bed. Just have a quick look,
be more intentional, and pay more attention about how much time you spend on social media. Give yourself a break.
 Live in the now.
Just be present physically,it's just something to think about.
 
I'm really glad I did it.
I'm going to be incorporating that into my life even more.
Thanks for listening.
​I'd love to hear from anyone about their social media breaks.
 
Take care bye for now.
