STRESS MANAGEMENT

I've covered personal stress experiences with you before. As we are all unique individuals, we find our own way of dealing with this 'silent creeper'. Sometimes we are just too busy and caught up in day to day activities to realise it is shadowing us and then all of a sudden.... BANG! ITS ARRIVED!

I've come across this great piece which talks through a 'stress management checklist'. have a look and see just how much you suddenly find yourself relating to its content....


"...Stress should not be too high or too low. Just enough to motivate you. Any more or less of it will cause problems. Make you unhappy. And stop you from achieving your goals...."

REABLEMENT

 Have come across this interesting piece of news today and thought I would share it with you.There are many of us who can't quite grasp the idea of reablement and yet its purpose is so simple.

".....Ruth Crowder, vice chair of the Welsh Reablement Alliance, said:
"It prevents people becoming dependent, prevents them needing to go into care.
"Reablement focuses on how you can help people to really start to take responsibility and maximise their own independence so they can live the life they want to live.
"Whenever we hear older people talk about what they want it's about staying in their own home.
"It's about doing all those things that are important to them, whether that's playing with their grandchildren, seeing their friends, being in contact with their family."

 Think about it....where is the one place you want to be when you are not feeling 100%? For me it's home.

WHISTLEBLOWING ...continued!

I had a very encourageable reponse in pageviews and comments regarding the whistleblowing post made back in june.


I have come across this article which is in favour of encouraging whistleblowing and thought you might find it an interesting read too...


'....Whistleblowing is not a dirty word — but the acts it prevents or puts an end to most certainly are. No organization, regardless of size, can afford not to encourage it. Every incident needs to be investigated thoroughly. Everyone needs to know it’s safe to speak up.
If your organization isn’t embracing a culture that supports the reporting of wrongdoing, then it has willingly exposed an Achilles heel. It’s only a matter of when, not if, it will feel the consequences....'
