Remote employees do not have to worry about the temptations of cake in the breakroom or impromptu lunches out. Yet, working from home might still not mean you get to eat nutritious meals. One way to encourage you to eat balanced meals, is to start a healthy cooking club.
In a club, you can swap healthy recipes via a collaborative Google Doc or link collector, upload pictures of finished dishes to a cloud-based photo album and share tips.
If you ever feel like you’re sharing a house with strangers, it’s time to prioritise your family.
On the news, on social media, even on our WhatsApp chats… everywhere we find estranged family members. It’s become so common that people don’t bat an eyelid when discussing it.
The youth of today – they’re so difficult. And, yet, we’ve all been the ‘youth of today’ in our time. This Youth Day, let’s reach across the divide and truly connect.
Can you blame young people if they act out? They face endless reams of scary news plus constant social media on how to look, act and live. Add to that our country’s heart-wrenching past and the challenge of choosing a career and finding employment.
In our fast-paced and often stressful world, it’s easy to overlook the small joys and blessings that surround us. Expressing gratitude can help us cultivate appreciation for our lives and help us see the world through clearer eyes. To cultivate gratitude, you can start by setting aside a few moments each day to reflect on and appreciate the people, experiences and things you are grateful for, keeping a gratitude journal, or expressing your gratitude to others through heartfelt gestures or words of appreciation.
On 9 August 1956, over 20 000 women marched peacefully to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest oppressive apartheid laws. Those women played a crucial role in changing our country for the better. Today, Women’s Day is an opportunity to focus on how we can shatter the glass ceiling – not just by fighting sexism, but also racism, ageism, ableism and other forms of oppression.
Want to feel happier, be healthier and even sleep better? Then start by showing appreciation for what you have.
For centuries, various customs and religions have required people to stop and give thanks for the blessings they perceive. It may seem quaint, but science is repeatedly proving that those who can feel grateful for the positives in their lives are generally healthier, more confident and happier.
Back in 2012, Dr Nancy Fagley from the psychology department at Rutgers University in America was the first to show how appreciation is directly linked to life satisfaction.
