Strategies for thriving this winter
This will be a challenging winter for many of us. As experts in supporting the financial, physical and mental well-being of Canadians, Canada Life wants to see everyone thrive – and not just survive – the season ahead.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Mary Ann Baynton and the team at Workplace Strategies for Mental Health to bring you ways you can be proactive about your financial, physical and mental well-being.
Admit anxiety – because we all have it
We’re all dealing with a lot, and it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. Making a plan can help you handle those moments as they come (and they will).
Get some fresh air
We know it’s cold, but grabbing even a few minutes in nature can be a major mood-booster.
Eat healthy to stay healthy
Nourishing your body can boost your overall sense of wellness too.
Find your work/life balance
We’re here to help you navigate this brave new world of work.
Reinvigorate working from home
Talk to your colleagues about your feelings
Release yourself from ‘working parent’s guilt’
Juggling your work and your kids is a struggle – without a global pandemic. Cut yourself some slack.

Give your finances their annual check up
If you’re feeling anxious about your money situation, here are 3 resources that can help you feel a bit more in control – or at least prepared – for the future.
Don’t leave money on the table
Start saving for tomorrow today. If you have a workplace pension, your employer may match a portion of what you contribute – try to take advantage because it’s additional money to save for your retirement.
