Many answered the call! Here are some tips that contribute to the mental health of Le Monast\u00e8re’s employees. Let yourself be inspired!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

“Over time, I\u2019ve developed the habit of turning to various wellness tools when I need to alleviate stress or navigate challenging periods. Here are the top 3 that I use the most:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The RespiRelax+ app<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

I first experienced cardiac coherence at Le Monast\u00e8re des Augustines when I went on a Signature retreat there in 2024. This practice had a profound effect on me, so much so that since then I’ve never hesitated to use this application to reduce my internal tension during difficult periods. I’ve managed to associate a key moment in my daily life with this application, namely in the car, after the hurried mornings of family life. I’m very proud to have persevered with this practice, even if I could integrate breathing into my everyday life even more. Taking the time to breathe is one of the great pillars of wellbeing, and we often forget that we can do it anywhere and at any time!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The Petit BamBou application<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

This application offers numerous audio meditation programs on various themes. There is a free version and a paid version. The function I use the most in this application is the \u20183 minute meditation\u2019. If I need to take a micro-pause during a demanding day at work, for example, I listen to this 3-minute audio and it helps me enormously to refocus. Thanks to this application, I’ve managed to integrate more meditation into my life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Nicole Bordeleau’s podcast episodes<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The wisdom of this great woman will always inspire me! As soon as a new episode comes out, I make an appointment with my inner self. The humanity behind the subjects she tackles, the wisdom of her approach, the gentleness of her voice and H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Dalair’s music soothe me deeply. With over a hundred episodes since the podcast was launched in 2020, we have access to a wide range of themes to explore with Nicole, as well as a variety of meditations. A musthave for me!”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
