Looking back, what would your word of the year be for 2024?
According to a new survey, the word kindness has been selected as Children’s Word of the Year 2024.
At Calmer this made our hearts melt, and inspired us to write this article.
There’s definitely something magical about the dawn of a new year. It’s a time when we can wipe the slate clean and start again. We can build on a blank canvas and believe that anything is possible. Our New Year mindset is unstoppable and invaluable.
In reality, New Year is a manmade date and occasion. However, it is a special and important time of year that signifies new beginnings, excitement and motivation. The trick is to maintain the same outlook at the start of each day, not just the start of each year.
So, how do we nail this intentional mindset?
This week, we welcome guest writer and Calmer partner Abigail Ireland to share her three tips on how to start the year effectively.
Many people have heard of mindful eating, and for some, it is an entirely new concept. What is it? What are the three R’s of mindful eating? How does mindful eating contribute to a healthier lifestyle?
Learning about this new way of looking at your food intake begins with a mindset shift, which results in multiple benefits to your overall health and wellbeing.
This week, Beth Rush returns with her third guest blog post for Calmer to explore what mindful eating is all about. Here, Beth shares simple and effective strategies to enable you to enjoy this beneficial practice, and highlights how it contributes to better health.
The start of a New Year signals a time for change, resolutions and a sense of ‘starting afresh’. With this comes pressure from media, society and others to embark on a healthier lifestyle. Often the messaging is directed towards changing your diet or fitness routine, but similar pressures can also be put on our career, social life and more. However, you don’t have to treat the New Year as a time for huge change and completely overhaul of your life.
World Mental Health Day is here, and with it, an opportunity to raise the profile of mental health care around the world.
Happening on 10th October each year, the day encourages all of us to take a moment to check in with our own mental health, and the ways we can support the mental health of the people around us too. This year, the theme has been set by The World Federation For Mental Health as “It is time to prioritize mental health in the workplace.”
We are excited to contribute to raising awareness of this theme. As an organisation working hard to support the mental health of professionals and business teams to prioritise mental wellness and prevent burnout, our aim is to embed positive mental health practices in a way that’s practical and beneficial for all. Tania Diggory, Founder & Director of Calmer, believes “your mind is your business’ greatest asset”. It’s time for us to celebrate this' years’ World Mental Health Day, and this article provides you with a list of ways you can get involved too.
