Health and Wellbeing

Mental health is the umbrella term used to describe “a state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her cognitive and emotional capabilities, function in society, and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life.” – Google.

When we’re small we’re exposed to different elements and those elements may become a problem around our mental health. Being exposed to the different elements starts when you’re undervalued, under loved …

We would have to have our eyes closed not to see someone that presents with wilful behaviour. Even if it’s not obvious at first, it quickly becomes obvious and is often difficult to avoid. When it happens in families, it’s more difficult to understand.

Wilful behaviour is calculating, it’s behaviour that if that person had their time again would do the same thing again. Wilful is not premeditated. It is usually brought about through unconscious thoughts …

According to scientists Covid-19 is here to stay. If you’re still having to self-isolate 15 months into our first lockdown because you are high risk and those you share your home with are having to go out, there are things you can remember to do to limit your risk of infection.

The key to staying safe is social distancing …

In recent years I have become increasingly aware of and concerned about the impact that we are having on our environment and have taken a wider interest in that in addition to exploring and writing about other lifestyle issues and my disability.

This blog is important to us all and confirms the clear evidence that the human tendency to consume is changing our planet …

For anyone with a big ego, they love themselves so much they won’t worry about anyone else, but unlike someone with narcissist character traits, they also won’t set out to make your life a living hell.

Even though their views are grounded in reality, those with big egos are still full of their own self-importance. But we can all …

“A truth is considered to be universal if it is logically valid in and also beyond all times and places. Hence a universal truth is considered logically to transcend the state of the physical universe, whose order is derived from such truths. In this case, such a truth is seen as eternal or as absolute.” – Google.

Why is truth important? Truth is important because it tells others we have integrity and a moral compass and because life works out better when we do. It shows others we live with integrity and are working …

Reflect on what it means to you to be ‘unique’ because unique will always be interpreted differently. It’s about mindset, relying on yourself so that you stand out and being confident in your abilities.

Be unique and bring your own values into focus, relating to others through your set of values. Think about what you want and determine your own goals. To be unique you need to stick with what you think …

In a world that is sick with Covid-19, it is important we unify, consolidate and come together, so that we can come through Covid-19 the stronger for it.

To unify and consolidate means we come together to achieve something, in this case reducing Covid-19, which has the potential to mutate and grow. With the world now in crisis, it means each of us are dealing with a crisis.

It is important to pull together. I go back to the point that just because we can’t see how the virus works and mutates, it doesn’t mean it’s not growing or changing.

Although …

The longer we keep a secret, the darker it becomes. Secrecy is associated with lower wellbeing, declining health and less satisfying relationships.

Secrecy has been linked to increased depression, symptoms of poor health and anxiety and in some cases the rapid …

Trust doesn’t always equal truth. When it comes to relationships, if someone doesn’t tell the truth and you’re having to read between the lines to work things out, there is no trust and it’s probably time to move on.

Just because someone says you can trust them, doesn’t mean you can. Trust issues happen because people are either conservative with the truth, or they lie. Trust is about goodwill, it’s telling the other person …
