Today is International Self‑Care Day!

Celebrated on July 24 (24/7), the date is a simple reminder that caring for ourselves should be a daily habit, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As we age, small, mindful choices – like staying active, enjoying nutritious meals, and making meaningful connections – can add up to a stronger, more vibrant life.

Take a moment today to pause and ask yourself: what simple act of self-care could make life a little brighter?

Bringing nature indoors with low-maintenance plants.

Adding a bit of greenery to your home can lift your mood and freshen up your space. Try easy-care plants like pothos, snake plants, or peace lilies, they don’t need much attention but bring a lot of life. Even a small plant on your windowsill can brighten your day.

At Athens Creek, we love finding simple ways to help life feel calm, joyful, and connected to nature.

With the mercury set to rise again this week, it's a good time to make a plan to stay cool. ☀️

Too much heat isn't safe for anyone, but older adults can be particularly prone to challenges in regulating body temperature.

Here are some helpful planning tips from the Government of BC:
➡️ Know your home and community's cool zones
➡️ Stay in when it's hot out or limit time in direct sunlight
➡️ Lower your activity level
➡️ Stay well hydrated
➡️ Know the signs of heat stroke, and get medical treatment immediately should it occur

Make space for rest.

A calm evening routine can help you fall asleep faster and sleep better. Try turning off bright screens an hour before bed, dimming the lights, and doing something quiet, like reading, listening to soft music, or stretching gently. A warm cup of herbal tea or writing in a journal can also help your mind slow down.

At Athens Creek, we believe rest is a big part of healthy living, and it starts with simple habits.

Spending time in the sun helps your body produce Vitamin D, which supports your immune system, improves mood, and promotes better sleep.

Key Benefits:
Mood Boost: Sunlight triggers serotonin production, helping you feel happier and more relaxed.
Immune Support: Vitamin D strengthens your body’s defenses.
Better Sleep: Natural light regulates your body’s internal clock, making it easier to sleep at night.

Try going for a walk or reading a book on a patio. Aim for 10-30 minutes of sunlight t least a few times a week and always wear sunscreen if you're staying out longer.

Struggling to get a good night’s sleep? A consistent routine can make all the difference!

As we age, a good night's rest becomes even more important for our overall health and well-being. Here are a few tips to help improve sleep quality:

Set a Consistent Bedtime – Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends, to regulate your body’s internal clock.

Create a Relaxing Pre-Sleep Routine – Wind down with calming activities like reading, meditation, or a warm bath to signal to your body that it’s time to rest.

Limit Screen Time Before Bed – The blue light from phones and tablets can interfere with your sleep. Try putting them away an hour before bedtime.

Keep Your Sleep Environment Comfortable – Ensure your bedroom is quiet, cool, and dark. A comfortable mattress and pillow also make a huge difference.

Avoid Heavy Meals and Caffeine – Give your body time to digest and avoid stimulants that may disrupt your sleep.

Small changes can have a big impact on how well you sleep! Rest well, live well.
