Why Naomi Osaka's Withdrawal from the French Open and Wimbledon Should Wake Us to Workplace Mental Health Issues
Health issues in the Workplace are real and it is time employers, employees, and other stakeholders accept it and address the same. Already, the United Kingdom and France, among other countries have legislation such as the Equality Act which protect employees suffering from depression and other mental health issues. While social stigma and fear of losing one’s job keeps many employees from talking openly about their Mental Condition, supportive employers can make the difference between a stressed out workplace and a healthy workplace.

Fiskars to the rescue - the mental health benefits of craft
For me, I rediscovered my love of crafting and sewing after the death of my father 8 years ago at a time when I was a mum to an 8 month old and a 3 year old. Don't get me wrong, I am so very blessed with my children and would not change it for the world but sometimes the Groundhog-Day-ness of the endless washing/cleaning/tidying/feeding/juggling/responsibility/ lack of sleep coupled with grief or other life troubles can get you down. I realised it provided me with comfort, an escape from the troubles of the day, a bubble of calm where I could shut out the anxieties of day to day life and gave me a feeling of accomplishment however small that was and insignificant to the rest of the world. It made me feel happy and productive. The impact was so significant that I now run my own sewing pattern business, Greyfriars and Grace, allowing me to do what I love as a job and, hopefully, encouraging more people to take up sewing along the way.

Christmas is a Christmas tree sparkling with a bright and warm glow of lights, the smell of mushroom soup and fried fish that spreads throughout the house, and a unique Christmas atmosphere. Unfortunately, not only because Christmas is also a time of heightened effort, cleaning the apartment late at night, wandering through crowded malls looking for gifts for loved ones, and preparing the most delicious Christmas dinner in the world. We women love that this time will be special, and we make every effort for this, most often at the expense of our own health. Society puts a lot of pressure to organize holidays perfectly, and we often raise the bar ourselves without realizing the consequences. After all, the pre-Christmas period is a period of increased stress, which can ruin the holidays and affect not only our psyche.

4 Weird and Wonderful Ways That Exercise Makes You Happier
Last week, I wrote an article about learning to enjoy hard exercise. I realized after I published it that although I knew how it was possible, I didn’t know why. What exactly is the science behind a fitness nut’s compulsion to exercise? I knew that it was about way more than losing weight or looking a certain way. On the contrary, those things became less and less important to me as I fell more deeply in love with exercise.

When Therapy Is Too Expensive...

Not just hosting conversations about mental health, creating “zen rooms” or social media campaigns, but implementing laws that can prove this world cares about the inside as much as the outside.
