Naughty or Nice!
Naughty or Nice!
Ho Ho Ho!

So Christmas is fast approaching and we're into the final leg of 2016, a time to reflect on the past year and achievements made whether eating healthier, moving more, embarking on a new course/passtime or whatever change for the better you have made in 2016, no a smaller wine glass does not count!

I hope in some small way the Health Ezine has inspired or encouraged you to live a healthier life in mind and body, so no bingeing on box sets during daylight hours over Christmas as this is bad news for your energy levels.

You need to get outside, even for ten minutes as the natural light and fresh air makes you feel more alert, so time to press pause... but equally it is important to take time out and... relax, so I hope you all enjoy your Christmas freebie!

Have a lovely Christmas everyone!

The festive season is upon us, and that can only mean diet debauchery, abandoned fitness regimes and binging on tv.  But it doesn't have to be this way. With a little bit of get off your tail end, it is possible to enjoy Christmas and start the New Year feeling fit, not fat.

Lots of us fall away from exercise or even moving at Christmas, assuming there is no point in starting until the New Year, but given that one of the biggest barriers to exercise is lack of time, a break from routine can give us the opportunity to do some form of exerciser, I'm not asking you to go snowboarding but you could:

  • get out walking
  • go to the pool
  • get on your bike

Staying active over Christmas:- 

  • reduces weight gain
  • energise you
  • reduces stress  

So c'mon check out ways to exercise in winter!.  You'll feel better physically and mentally if you keep active over the winter months.  Take a look at health benefits of staying physically active.

Christmas, a time of happiness and family...but for some it be a stressful time that can be tough on your mental health with issues including:

  • alcohol
  • bereavement
  • money worries
  • relationships


A new mental health campaign called ‘Helping others’ has been launched by the Public Health Agency in partnership with NIAMH.  

The TV advert ‘Life changing’ encourages the public to reach out and support someone they know who may be experiencing mental health problems.

Asking, listening and talking to someone with a mental health problem can start them on the road to recovery.  Just a  few words can make a massive difference.

Many factors can affect your mental health.  Take the mental health quiz and mind yourself over christmas!

Thank You!
Thank You!

Are you uncomfortable when someone compliments you? most of us are, like one of the Trade Team out on the town being complimented on their christmas jumper!, the reply was "Primark £10" now they were told they paid too much!!! but the point is why do we find taking a compliment embarrassing!  


The first step is not to see compliments as the enemy of modesty.  And to realise that thanking someone who pays you a compliment isn't going to give you a jumbo-sized ego.  Actually they're a form of personal growth, a form of validation.  Check out how to take compliments... 


So start by resisting the urge to reject a compliment, by thinking more positively about ourselves, and retrain the way you think

When we're not used to receiving compliments maybe it's because we're not used to giving them either!!!.  So, go on, spread more praise around, then when it's your turn to get some of the good stuff back, you'll be a bit braver at saying "thank you", a simple but powerful phrase.  Like any muscle, it will strengthen with use!.

 

Do you know how to take a compliment!
