Return To Wellness !
“Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit – the realization that everything we do, think, feel, and believe affects our well-being.”
– Greg Anderson
On Thursday, i.e., 17th January 2023, BUFFnation was present for a workshop in Brantford for Special Education teachers from The Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board.
It was called “2023, The Year of Me -The Total Wellness Reboot for more Energy, Joy, and Fulfillment”.
The presentation focused on what we resonate with within our day-to-day lives and how we can bring change for ourselves. There were multiple activities planned for the audience to get connected to.
The coaching exercises conducted for the audience helped them understand that wellness is essential, its importance, and how to implement it. The significance it carries is helpful for overall well-being. In the workshop, steps were taught on how to bring balance into their day-to-day lives....
Welcome, Sid, the intern!
Sid is a student at Conestoga College studying Broadcasting Television and Independent Production. He joins BUFFnation as a content creator and editor.
Sid’s fascination with movies started as a kid. He was introduced to the big screen by his mother, who is a musician, and his father, a writer. He now makes independent short films and has worked on a web series. Sid enjoys the technical side of things and prefers to stay behind the camera so that he can compose the perfect shot.
Sid is excited to join BUFFnation. He says it will be a new experience for him to learn about the different stages of business.
When not doing school assignments, Sid works at CTV Kitchener as a part-time technical operator. He also works on his own independent short films and freelance photo shoots. Sid is also a fitness enthusiast who divides his time between Australia and India.

Stay Motivated with THIS
Revisit Your Emotional Why
Instead of asking yourself how you feel,
ask yourself what do you really want.
How will your life change when you get there.
And how you can make it happen!?
I think of this quote often:
“If you really want to do something,
you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.”
Jim Rohn
Start Small
If you know you have a 40-minute cardio workout ahead of you, and you just don’t feel like it, start with just five minutes.
Say to yourself “I’ll do this for five minutes and if I’m just not into it, I can stop.”
Chances are you’ll continue for your entire workout.
Change Your Routine
Take your cardio outside. Go to the park to do your workout.
Head out for a hike! Changing things up will keep you motivated. Also set a goal...

True Inner and Outer Strength: Living Her Best Life
This is 37!
Gina feels incredible.
She’s fit, strong, and positive.
The mother of two from Drumbo, Ontario,
has been crushing her BUFFnation Platform workouts
three times a week, consistently for the past few years,
building true strength from the inside out.
“I think my mindset has changed the most since joining this program,” says Gina.
“I now work out because I actually enjoy it, not to punish myself for not looking a certain way. I have two young daughters, and it is important to me to set a good example of a healthy lifestyle for them. BN has really pushed me out of my comfort zone and makes me want to be the best version of ME.
I love feeling part of a community of like-minded women
within our VIP accountability group.
I value the weekly emails and LIVE sessions and
have really taken the personal development recommendations to heart.”
Gina, way to go! You are doing an incredible job. Thank you so much for being an integral member of our community.
Gina with...
