22.01.2022 EPILESPY AWARENESS MONTH Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, the hallmark of which is recurrent, unprovoked seizures. A person is diagnosed with epilepsy if they have two unprovoked seizures (or one unprovoked seizure with the likelihood of more) that were not caused by some known and reversible medical condition like alcohol withdrawal or extremely low blood sugar. To help support and spread awareness for epilepsy dedicate some time to read about epilepsy and share it with your ...family and friends. Other ways to show your support is to wear purple accessories and use the #NEAM2020 on your social media platforms. As said on the National epilepsy awareness website ‘Small actions for big change’. Together we can make a change. For more information about National Epilepsy Awareness Month visit https://www.epilepsy.com//national-epilepsy-awareness-mont!

10.01.2022 ****Fun Fact of the Week**** Bananas can help improve your mood A banana has approximately 30% of your daily recommended intake of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 helps the brain produce serotonin, which is considered a mood stabilizer. Serotonin impacts your motor skills and emotions. It is also the chemical that helps you sleep and digest food. Eating a banana can help relieve depression and anxiety by stimulating the serotonin levels in your body.... So eat your daily banana!!!!

10.01.2022 STRESS AWARENESS WEEK Stress Awareness Week was established by the International Stress Management Association (ISMA) to help provide information on stress, and strategies on how to address it for both companies and individuals. The best way to celebrate Stress Awareness Week is to take the opportunity to remove the stress from your life for the day. Take the time to examine your life and find out where all the stressors lie and start looking into taking steps to remove them... or find ways to mitigate them. Stress can be a killer, don’t let it take one more day from your life, act now and start living a stress-free life! When stress strikes, try one of these techniques for a quick cool-down: Change the environment Do something pleasurable or relaxing for a little while such as reading, watching TV, or taking a shower. If you are at work, step outside for a few minutes and get some fresh air. Practice breathing exercises Focus on your breath, pushing all other thoughts aside. Be conscious of the breath coming in and going out; focus on the sensation of inhaling and exhaling. Meditate This does not mean sitting crossed leg on the floor and burning incense. Meditation is really about quieting the mind. Not reacting; just noticing. Even a minute can make a difference. Be in the moment noticing everything around you and just observe without reacting. Pray Often, one’s faith can be a comfort. Saying a small prayer or series of prayers can be calming. Do relaxation exercises Sometimes known as progressive muscle relaxation, practice tensing and then releasing each of your muscle groups. If your body is physiologically relaxed, then you can’t be stressed. Go walking or running Exercise can be a great stress reliever. It helps you blow off steam and releases endorphins. Take a walk or go running. This will provide some perspective so you can return in a new frame of mind. Practice a rhythmic activity Walking or running are great rhythmic activities that readjust your focus and relieve stress. You can also drum on a table with your hands or a few pencils. Immerse yourself in a creative outlet Doing something creative that you enjoy like cooking, baking, art or photography can take you away from the stress at hand. For example, cooking or baking requires focus, concentration and physical activityespecially if you are making bread or rolling out dough. Express your feelings Write your stress away in a journal, take out your colored pencils and paper and focus your concentration on drawing, or have coffee with a trusted friend and just talk. Be in the moment with one of your senses Sight, smell, sound, and tasteyou’ll be amazed how quickly the stress melts away when you focus on just one of them. Eat something that you crave and savour each bite. Light a scented candle and breathe in your favourite scent. Listen to a wonderful piece of music and let it take you away. Look at something beautiful in your surrounding that makes you stop and stare.
