Health & Balance:Ways to Be Happier

Scientists say walking tall with swinging arms helps you feel more positive. Even if you're not feeling happy, a spirited stroll can help you fake it till you make it.

Want to lift your spirits? Lift the corners of your mouth. When you smile like you mean it, you can change your brain's chemistry and feel happier.

Find ways to get involved in your community or help out a friend in need. You'll help yourself, too. It can improve your mental health and well-being. Win-win.

It makes you feel good to spend time with people who care about you. So be open to new relationships, whether it's someone you meet at the office, gym, church, or park. But be sure to maintain those lifelong connections, too. Studies show the more connected you are, the happier you are.

Write down everything that's good in your life. When you make an effort to look on the bright side, it helps you stay focused on the positive.

It can take as little as 5 minutes for exercise to put you in a better mood. Moving your body also has good long-term effects: Regular exercise helps keep depression at bay.

Are you holding a grudge? Let it go. Forgiveness frees you from negative thoughts and makes more room in your life for inner peace. And that brings you happiness.

Meditate for an hour a week. It'll give you a dose of joy, peace, and contentment. It'll also create new pathways in your brain to make it easier for you to feel joy.

Music can have a powerful effect on your emotions. Pick your favorite music mix and get into the groove. You'll get a real feel-good vibe.

Most adults need 7 or 8 hours of sleep each night to stay in a good mood. You're more likely to be happy when you get enough shut-eye.

From Cold to Hot: Importance of Warming Up Before Exercise

Are you someone who likes to jump  into a workout without taking the time to warm up first? If so, you may be putting yourself at risk for injury and missing out on the many benefits of warming up. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of warm up before exercise and why it should be an important part of your workout routine. We’ll also discuss the science behind warm-ups, the different types of warming, and tips for creating a good warm-up. So let’s get started!

Why is Warming Up Before Exercise Important?

Warm up before exercise is important to prepare your body and mind for physical activity. When you warm up, your body goes through  physiological changes to prepare you for the demands of exercise. These changes include an increase in heart rate, blood flow, and respiration, as well as a decrease in muscle tone and an increase in muscle tone. Without a proper warm-up, you increase your risk of injury because your muscles and joints are not adequately prepared for the stress of exercise.

A warm-up is a period of low-intensity exercise or stretching that prepares the body for more vigorous exercise. A good warm-up should accomplish many things. First, it should help improve oxygen and nutrients by increasing blood flow to  working muscles. Second, it should keep the heart beating and breathing, helping to prepare the cardiovascular system to increase exercise. Thirdly, it is necessary to warm up the muscles, which will help reduce injuries and make the muscles flexible. Finally, a warm-up can help you mentally prepare  for your workout and improve focus and concentration. READ MORE....

Understanding Trauma and Exploring Strategies for Healing

Shaina Tranquilino

October 24, 2023

Trauma is a powerful, life-altering experience that can leave lasting emotional, psychological, and even physical scars. It can be caused by various events such as accidents, abuse, violence, natural disasters, or the loss of a loved one. While each person's experience with trauma is unique, it often leads to feelings of fear, helplessness, and disrupted daily functioning. However, there is hope for healing and growth. In this blog post, we will delve into what trauma is and explore strategies to navigate through its aftermath.

Defining Trauma: Trauma refers to an event or series of events that overwhelm an individual's ability to cope effectively. It disrupts their sense of safety and security. Such experiences trigger intense emotions and physiological responses that may persist long after the traumatic event has occurred. Common symptoms include intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, hypervigilance, anxiety disorders, depression, mood swings, and difficulty trusting others.

Recognizing the Impact: It's crucial to acknowledge that everyone processes trauma differently; what may be traumatic for one person might not have the same effect on another. Therefore, it's essential to validate personal experiences and offer support without judgment or comparison. Understanding the impact of trauma helps individuals develop empathy towards themselves and others who have gone through similar challenges.

Strategies for Healing:

Seek Professional Help: Trauma recovery often requires professional assistance from therapists specializing in trauma-focused therapy techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These therapeutic approaches empower individuals to process their trauma safely while developing coping mechanisms.

Practice Self-Care: Engaging in self-care activities can promote healing by nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. This includes getting adequate restorative sleep, maintaining a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, exercising regularly, and engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation. Self-care also encompasses setting healthy boundaries, practicing mindfulness or meditation, and seeking support from loved ones.

Connect with Support Networks: Sharing your experiences with trusted friends, family members, or support groups can reduce feelings of isolation and provide a sense of belonging. Surrounding yourself with empathetic individuals who validate your emotions helps rebuild trust and foster a supportive environment for healing.

Cultivate Resilience: Building resilience is an integral part of trauma recovery. Engaging in activities such as journaling, art therapy, or participating in support groups can enhance self-awareness and personal growth. Seeking out positive role models who have overcome similar traumas can inspire hope and motivate you to move forward.

Practice Mindfulness Techniques: Incorporating mindfulness techniques into your daily routine can help manage stress levels and regulate emotional responses triggered by traumatic memories. Breathing exercises, grounding techniques, yoga, or meditation can promote relaxation, self-reflection, and emotional stability.

Trauma is a harrowing experience that disrupts lives but navigating through it is possible with proper understanding and support. Healing from trauma requires patience, self-compassion, professional guidance, and the implementation of various coping strategies tailored to individual needs. Remember that everyone's journey is unique; there is no predefined timeline for healing from trauma. By embracing these strategies and cultivating resilience within ourselves, we can embark on a path towards healing, growth, and reclaiming our lives.

I have a lot of physical sensory issues (for example, I hate the texture of nylons, most backpacks and fabric lunch boxes, seatbelts, etc.), and yesterday they were in overdrive. I was wearing comfy clothes, but I was cold and sweaty at the same time and hadn’t showered in a couple days, so the oil on my hair and skin on top of everything else was making me literally uncomfortable in my own skin. What did I do? I took a shower (I despise them), shaved my legs, and put on fresh clothes. Problem? Solved.

The point of this post? Take care of yourself. Your physical state can drastically impact your mental state. Put in your music or earplugs. Turn off the lights. Take a nap. Drink (or don’t) a coffee. Take a shower. Change your clothes. I know we say it, but until yesterday I never really realized how much something simple and/or entirely physical, like a shower, and help your mind.

Mother: why wont you talk to me. I didn't deserve this.

Me: you threw books at my head, threw my brother out the car and burnt my stuff. Threatened my cats life. You called me a tranny and stole my car keys and cried when you had to give them back.

Truly such a mystery why I left and took my life into my own hands.

I want my story to begin with the name Hermes, I want to talk about the stars, I want to rename the colours and draw on myself.

I don't want to feel scared whenever I have to go home.

Asks it is then. And apologies in advance for swears and text wall.

First some background info, because I believe the context might help. For me, the main cause of my issue is what we suspect is a condition called EDS, which means my body don't produce collagen (is it even called that in English?) as it should which is basically the body's "glue" that helps holding joints and stuff together. As a result my joints are over-flexible, I bruise easily and shed a lot of hair, and because of my "loose" joints my muscles have to work all the time which in turn makes them tense, achey and leaves me permanently tired, just to mention the big things. But it's mostly the joints.

Unfortunately there's no quick fix, but on really bad days heating items helps, or wearing supporting items (wrapping gauze around the shitty joint can help but be careful then to not do it too tight). Also don't forget painkillers exist for a reason, even if one should be careful to not eat to many.

But the long term thing that have made things ease up a bit is strength training. The purpose is to make the muscles both stronger and shorter to help limiting the joints movement range (also it gets the blood pumping which helps oxygen reach achy parts better which help with bruises and shit). I also have to avoid stretching for the same reason. And when I warm up I have to be gentle and I know some with the same issues who have been instructed to do minor stretching or light yoga as a warm up. Also, with our condition, we were ordered by our respective physio therapists to cut the training short if we feel either too tired too fast or if it's our joints instead of our muscles that ache during training. To quote my PT: If your muscles ache a bit during training that's fine because it means you're pushing your limits and getting stronger. If your joints hurt something is wrong and exercising the nearby muscles then will only make it worse. Try with less weight and/or fewer reps etc, or do a different excercise for a bit.

I mean, ngl I've always hated exercise because it have always caused me pain (as in from when I was a little kid, I just didn't get that wasn't normal), and going to the gym or a swimmingpool makes me feel pathetic because even if I know I have a different situation from those strangers I still compare myself with them (and during the pt-hours it was me and a bunch of 75+ years olds which did double psycic damage). But once I learned what to focus on and think about when I train I can do it from home and that helped.

Also massages can help. And if you don't have anyone who can help using a tennis ball etc and lying on it on the floor etc might work.

So, uh, if this sounds like anything that might be similar to what you're dealing with I can try to describe some easier exercises or try to find some videos for you?

-🦉

Thank you so much!

I have tried some light yoga in the past, but that was before anything to major started popping up. Nowadays, getting excercise time is hard, but maybe I'll try working it in.

I don't know anyone who would help message ways, since I'm the family masseuse, but I might try that tenis ball thing you suggested!

Thank you so much, Owl!

Do You Really Need To Wake Up At 6AM?

Do You Really Need To Wake Up At 6AM?

Mental Health and Wellness

Ill at ease means disease. I have lost two family members to mental health.

Addressing mental health is crucial for overall well-being. Reading books and blogs can contribute to mental health by providing insights, fostering empathy, promoting education and awareness, supporting adult and children's mental health and facilitating personal growth.

As a writer, both through my blog and books, I offer support and guidance to those struggling with mental health issues. By sharing my own experiences and insights, I hope to provide comfort to others who may be going through similar challenges.

Through 'my story' storytelling, I offer hope, inspiration and practical advice to help readers navigate mental health, who are seeking help and support through their own mental health journey.

My 'Books' and 'Blog' help with both.

How Good Friendships Can Help Improve Our Physical Wellbeing

A recent study published in the Society for Personality and Social Psychology journal suggested that the connection between good physical health and maintaining strong friendships may be much more powerful than previously thought. By following over 4,000 people for three weeks, the researchers discovered that positive social experiences not only impacted an individual’s ability to cope with stress but also improved their markers for physical health.

The Study

The participants in the study were required to complete daily check-ins using their smartwatch or smartphone in order to provide an assessment of their heart rate, blood pressure, stress levels and how they felt they were coping. On every third day the participants were also asked to share reflections regarding their closest relationship, feeding back on both their positive and negative experiences in this regard.

The researchers discovered that, on average, those who had fewer negative and more positive social experiences reported a better ability to cope, as well as lower levels of stress and lower systolic blood pressure reactivity – all of which resulted in better daily physiological functioning.

A Two-Way Street

Life coaches such as Isis Monteverde are aware that physical health and social relationships are often interrelated, and this connection can work both ways. For example, those who enjoy good physical health tend to have better relationships with those around them because they’re not in pain, moody or worried about an existing ailment or condition.

Nurturing Positive Social Relationships

Many people may desire closer social connections but feel unsure about how to strengthen existing relationships or make brand new ones – the prospect can be a daunting one. Starting small is often a good idea, for example by joining a class, texting a friend or hosting a dinner party.

Research suggests that it takes 90 hours of time spent together to consider someone a friend and over 200 to view them as a close friend with whom we have an emotional connection. Making time for friendships in our busy schedules and committing to recuring activities can help to enhance the quality of our social relationships.

Hope for Future Research

Brian P. Don, one of the authors of the study, hopes that researchers will be able to examine other physiological states – like the sympathetic and neuroendocrine nervous systems – in the future to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how our overall health is linked to our relationships.
