Well-being Advice
Disconnection
Why not take advantage of your stay at the Lièvre Rouge shelter to have a digital detox? The adverse effects of long exposure to screens are plentiful and well-known.
On a physical level, studies have detected links between overexposure to blue light and myopia, decreased physical activity, and increased stress levels.
The benefits of taking a break from screens for as short as 24 hours are numerous for mental and physical health, but it also allows us to realize how much space technology takes up in our lives. Slowly learn to consciously reintroduce the use of your devices into your everyday life!
This break will also allow you to reconnect with your loved ones offline and replace your FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) with JOFO (Joy of Missing Out)!
Back to the Roots
The post-pandemic era certainly positively affected society and our usually hectic life habits. Returning to our roots and disconnecting are once again top priorities for many of us. We come back to the foundation and undertake a return to nature and everything magical it has to offer. Adopting the offline way of life and staying in the heart of Quebec’s abundant nature are both crucial to reach balance and find ourselves again.
You just need to breathe fresh air, admire the beautiful landscapes, and watch the birds and animals be in perfect harmony with nature. So simple, but so powerful.
Shinrin-yoku
Are you familiar with the Shinrin-yoku concept? Invented by the Japanese in response to modernity, it’s a conscious practice where you have a forest bath during a 2-hour walk, throughout which all your senses are stimulated.
In addition to all the physical benefits, forest baths stimulate creativity and inspiration.
