It’s a new year! Healthy eating for a new you
After living it up over the festive season, you may feel like your mealtimes need an overhaul. Here’s how to make your healthy eating resolutions last.
PUTTING DEBT IN ITS PLACE
Do you sometimes find at mid-month, salary is spent, but groceries need to be bought? Then it’s time to get to grips with why you overspend and figure out how to get a handle on your finances.

Keep those resolutions going

Combatting HIV/Aids starts with open conversations
World AIDS Day 2022: Keep talking
A wise man once said, “All truths that are kept silent become poisonous.” Never has this been truer than on the subject of HIV/Aids. Today we have excellent treatment options allowing people diagnosed with HIV to live long, happy, healthy lives, and yet the fear lingers on and people stay silent.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), nearly a million people still die every year from the virus because they don’t know they have HIV and are not on treatment, or they start treatment late.
Sign up for a stress-free festive season
This is a wonderful time to be with family, have a break, and enjoy tasty food and good company. But somehow things often end up less jolly and more ‘just-let-it-be-January.’
Why is this time of year so often accompanied by skyrocketing stress, anxiety and exhaustion? For one, we can feel overwhelmed with the extra social engagements. Plus, at big gatherings we might have to face people with whom we don’t necessarily see ‘eye-to-eye.’ It’s also easy to overindulge and spend money as if we’ve won the lottery (knowing full well our accounts are redder than Rudolph the Reindeer’s nose).

In so doing, you can nourish not only your soul, but your health too.

Arm Yourself With Knowledge

Are You Leading With EMPATHY?
Empathy is the ability to sense other people’s emptions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling. Empathy can also improve leadership ability and facilitate effective communication.
Turn your walk into a workout
Whether it is a stroll on a sunny day, ambling with your dogs around the block, or sauntering along the beach in the evening, the act of putting one foot in front of the other in a rhythmic manner is as much human nature as breathing, thinking and loving.
