Why Are You Feeling So Tired?

{This is a collaborative Post}

It’s normal to feel tired some of the time, and when you do feel a little sleepy, there’s usually a good reason for it. You might not have gone to bed early enough, or perhaps you had a particularly strenuous day. No matter what, a good night’s sleep and you’ll generally feel better. 

What if you don’t, though? What if you wake up feeling just as tired as when you went to sleep? The danger is that this can become something we get used to, so we just think of it as the usual thing without wondering if there’s an underlying cause, but the fact is that constant tiredness isn’t right and shouldn’t be normalised. There will be a reason behind it, and working out what that reason is means you can fix the issue. Read on to find out more. 

 

You Don’t Get Enough Sleep

Let’s start with the most obvious reason for being tired all the time and the one that’s easiest to fix - you don’t get enough sleep. Although everyone is different, most people will need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night, and if you’re getting significantly less than that, it’s sure to account for your constant lethargy, especially if you’ve got a busy life during your waking hours. 

The issue is that lack of sleep isn’t just something that makes you feel tired; there are other consequences too. Some of the most serious include obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart problems, and stress. 

The best way to solve the issue is to know what time you have to get up in the morning and work backwards from there so you know what time you have to go to bed. If you’re having trouble getting to sleep (or staying asleep) then it’s worth discussing it with your doctor as they might have some helpful advice. 

You’re Lacking Vitamin B12

We’ve gone from a fairly vague idea of how much sleep you need to something a lot more specific; your potential lack of vitamin B12. When you have enough B12 in your diet, you’ll feel energised and awake, so a lack of it means the opposite; you’ll constantly feel tired. 

As with many things, eating a better diet can solve the issue, and ensuring that there’s plenty of vitamin B12 included in that healthy diet is a wise move. You can get this vitamin from fruit, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, so it should be easy to get enough of it. If not, however, you can use supplements to help boost your intake. 

You Don’t Drink Enough Water

Water is such a great thing for the human body and it’s so easy to get into your daily routine - your body literally tells you when it needs more - that it shouldn’t be a surprise to know that without enough water, things start to go wrong, and among the many things that can go wrong is the fact that you won’t have any energy and you’ll feel tired. 

The best thing to do is to have a reusable water bottle with you at all times, and make sure you sip from it regularly - that’s better than chugging a load of water in one go and then forgetting to drink for another few hours. Try to make it your mission to drink a certain amount each day and gradually increase your intake, and you should feel a lot more awake.

Winter is Coming: Tips for getting your Garden Ready

November may be at the end of Autumn and even heading into Winter but there is still time to get all sorts of gardening jobs done before the frost arrives and the garden becomes pretty dormant for winter. This year it has been very mild down here in the South of England and this means there is even still time to plant some tulip, daffodil, and crocus bulbs ready for the spring. I always think there is something really joyous about seeing those green shoots early in the year, they make me feel like there is hope after the dark mornings and dreary weather. 

Rake the Leaves

Hopefully, if you have a garden with plenty of trees you've been keeping on top of this job. All those leaves are such a rich source of nutrients to add to our compost pile. First, keep them in a separate pile or store in a container or bag, but make sure there are holes as the oxygen is needed to help the leaves break down into mould. Once that has happened you can add them to your compost or use as mulch.

Soil Maintenance

Now is your last chance to prepare your soil before winter really sets in. Turn the earth over whilst there is still some heat in the soil and make sure you have removed any annuals, and pruned your perennials right back to protect them for next spring. Make sure that any bar earth is protected with a good layer of compost, mulch or even plastic sheeting. 

Think Ahead

As the garden goes to sleep, the gardener doesn't. Now is the time to plan out how you want the garden to look next year. Place your order for Spring planted bulbs and any berry trees that you require. Draw out a sketch of how you'd like your garden to look and this will help you to know how many plants or bulbs to order.

Ideas for an Adventure Seeking Holiday in the Caribbean

If you're a regular thrill seeker, you have probably been there and done that with most of the adventure activities in Europe, so now may be the perfect time to spread your wings, or find your sea legs to be more accurate and head out to the Caribbean for a luxury cruise of multiple islands.  

There is so much adventure to be pursued in the Caribbean, all amongst the absolute beauty of the white sandy beaches and deep turquoise waters. I want to share with you a few ideas for amazing cruise holidays with bags of adventure thrown in.

Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean is the second-best cruise line for mega-ships (with over 4000 passengers) as voted by the readers of Conde Nast, so you know you can't go wrong when you choose to cruise with them. Their liners cater to all kinds of travellers but Cruise Critic suggests they are particularly good for first-time family cruisers with their ultimate family suites having in-room slides, table tennis, life-size Connect-four, and a personal gaming room. That all sounds pretty darn fun to me. Add to that the SeaPlex, which is the largest indoor sports and entertainment complex at sea, with attractions ranging from roller skating and video gaming to a circus school, complete with flying trapeze classes. 

You can sail for as little as two nights, but for a full quota of thrills and fun, around nine nights is perfect and then you can choose to travel across the western, southern, or eastern Caribbean. The choice really is yours!

Sailing with Royal Caribbean also means you get to stop at CocoCay, a private island in the Bahamas and there is so much to do there. You could experience the island from 450 meters in the air as you take a balloon ride, enjoy the thrills of the waterpark, which boosts Daredevil's Peak, the tallest slide in North America, or even zipline across the blue, blue sky.

Similarly, the Feria de Abril transforms Seville into a lively fairground filled with colourful tents, dancing, and traditional costumes. Children will love the fairground rides and the chance to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere.

The Warmth of Sevillanos

One of the most delightful aspects of visiting Seville with your family is the warm and welcoming nature of the locals, known as Sevillanos.

6 Ideas to Get Creative On a Family Walk

{This is a collaborative post}

Taking family walks is an excellent avenue for fitness, obtaining fresh air, and fostering creativity for all family members. Here are several suggestions to optimize your outdoor experiences, morph your walks into small adventures, and maintain the interest of even the most energetic children as you navigate through the forest, or simply along your local streets. 

Incorporate a Challenge 

If you aim to ramp up your walks' vigor, set a fitness goal for yourself. Consider speed walking or establish a timed target to boost your pace. If kids accompany you, encourage them to hop throughout the street or mimic a horse's gallop for part of the journey. Alternatively, invite them to devise their own fun challenges to add an extra physical activity layer. You can bring a stroller fan from Diono to keep your children cool while exploring.

Alter Your Walking Route 

Your walking routes might be restricted at the moment. However, even reversing your usual direction can offer a different exercise by climbing that hill rather than descending it. If you can, vary the terrain of your walks. A dirt path provides more of a challenge compared to a flat sidewalk. Alternatively, consider driving to an area with more inclines if your regular route is level. 

Go Geocaching 

Geocaching is a delightful outdoor scavenger hunt suitable for all family members. Using specific GPS coordinates, use the Geocaching app to find hidden boxes called 'geocaches'. Typically, these geocaches hold a logbook for noting the date and time of discovery, along with a few mini treasures. If you decide to take a treasure, aim to replace it with something of similar or higher worth for the next player. With over three million geocaches globally, chances are there's one in your vicinity. 

Baking with Plant Milk - Homity Pie

The Importance of Baking

I'll be honest when my kids were small there was nothing I loved more than baking with them, as it was engaging, fun, and also presented a fabulous learning opportunity. You can include maths, science, reading, and all the core subjects when you cook or bake together. 

I had a few go-to recipes that I would follow with the children. Of course, we did classics to start, like crispie cakes, refrigerator biscuits, and cupcakes. It become more fun when they were a little older and a bit more skilled and then we moved on to things like cheese and bacon flan or banana and chocolate chip bread. This former recipe is still being made in our house at least once a month as it has established itself as a staple, with a recipe that I tweaked to perfection. 

It didn't start out as my recipe though, it was one I had baked with my own mum when I was young. We were often baking as my dad was a milkman when I was a child and he would bring a couple of his milkman friends home most days for a cuppa once they finished their rounds. Cake or biscuits were a must-have alongside your cuppa.

I was interested to see recently how much has changed in the milk delivery business. When I was a child and would sometimes help dad out on his round we had about 5 different coloured tops of milk to deliver and now there are dozens, as you have all the plant milk alternatives, as well as organic, free-range, and sterilised dairy milk. 

Driving and Car Safety for your Teen Driver

Your teen now drives. Going out with them in the car for the first time with them sitting behind the wheel is a sharp wake-up call. Your baby is no longer a baby, now they are in control of a large machine that can drive at speeds of 70mph (and that's if they are sticking to the speed limit) and can potentially cause serious harm, or even death. It's a bit scary when you put it like that, isn't it? Of course, the last thing you want to do is scare your teen but it is definitely worth having some serious conversations with them so they realise the full extent of the responsibility of driving alone on the roads. 

Here are a few pointers for discussion items that will help to give you peace of mind and to keep your teen safe -

Install a Car Tracker

Having a car tracker installed can be the ultimate peace of mind. You'll always be able to see where your teen is and if you've given them a radius of how far they can travel, you'll be able to spot (or even sent an alert if you set that feature to live) if they have breached that designated area. |As well as this, it is also important to have a tracker in case of theft and it makes the Police's job a lot easier if they know the location of your car. 

Get Black Box Insurance

Insurance can be a major cost when your teen first starts to drive, and one way to keep this cost down is to take (telematics) black box insurance. This device records how your teen is driving in regard to speed, braking distance, cornering, accelerating etc, and creates a score for their overall driving performance. If your teen knows they are being monitored and potentially their insurance premium could be impacted this will have a positive impact on their responsible driving. 

Set an Example

Once your teen is old enough to be interested in driving you should be setting a good example to them in your driving. Talk through the different maneuvers that you do, and why you make the driving decisions that you do, and also give them an awareness of how another's driving style might impact your safety. Demonstrating braking distances, using your mirrors and being aware of what is around you will make a marked difference. 

Pay for an Advanced Driver Course

Defensive driving could be the difference between an accident or not, so it is definitely worth investing in an advanced driver course for your teen. They will normally do around four sessions which will not only increase their driving confidence but also teach them a healthy respect and awareness of what is going on on the roads. Being aware of other drivers and driving to anticipate their errors is an essential life skill as far as I'm concerned. 

Discuss the Rules

This may seem very obvious but you need to have a conversation with your teen about what your expectations are for them driving, especially if you are footing the bill for their car, and associated costs.  Some people may assume their teen knows what is expected of them, but they are not mind readers. So spell out your expectations and make it really clear so there is no room for ambiguity.

• How far can they travel?
• Are there particular times they can use the car?
• Who is responsible for fuel costs and maintenance?
• Can they drive with friends in the car who are under the influence or smoking/ vaping?
• What is the maximum number of passengers they can take?
• Who will clean the interior and the exterior of the car?

Yes, it can seem a bit scary at first to have your teen driving but think of the time it will free up for you. They can become the taxi and take younger siblings places they need to go and you can make good use of this extra free time that you have gained back. Sit back, relax and enjoy the fact your teen is developing into a responsible adult. 

Social Work Degree: 5 Specializations To Study

{This is a collaborative post}

The broad field of social work aims to enhance the well-being of people as individuals, families, and communities. According to The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), between 2021 and 2031, the field of social work will expand by 12%, and as a result of retirements or career changes, there will be an average of 78,000 employment opportunities each year. With the variety of specializations available with a social work degree, ambitious professionals can concentrate on certain fields of interest and competence.

Five specialties that people can study in a social work degree program will be covered in this article.

1. Clinical Social Work

A Master of Social Work (MSW) program with a clinical concentration trains students for a profession in clinical social work with a focus on offering mental health services to those who are experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties. The curriculum provides in-depth instruction in evaluation, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment modalities. It covers a variety of important subjects, such as cultural competency, therapeutic interventions, social work ethics, human behavior and the emergence of psychological disorders, and social variables affecting mental health. Additionally, students integrate classroom knowledge and build clinical skills while working with various clients through supervised field rotations in mental health clinics, hospitals, and community organizations.

Clinical social work graduates have the training necessary to evaluate the mental health needs of patients, identify illnesses, and carry out therapeutic interventions. To address the variables influencing mental health difficulties, they use a variety of treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and family therapy. They also collaborate with medical staff in hospitals to provide mental health care to patients in psychiatric units.

2. Geriartic Social Work

The goal of geriatric social work is to support and aid older adults as they face the challenges associated with old age. These social workers are vital in increasing senior citizens’ independence, improving their quality of life, and preserving their dignity and well-being as they age.

A Master of Social Work with a focus on geriatrics or aging services is a degree program that trains students for a job in geriatric social work. A wide range of topics are covered in the curriculum to give students a thorough understanding of the social, psychological, and physiological aspects of aging. They also receive specialized training in geriatric assessment, elder abuse and neglect, dementia care, palliative and hospice care, and social policies affecting older adults. Moreover, they learn about the resources and assistance programs accessible to senior citizens.

Graduates of the program are qualified for employment in a range of senior-focused environments, such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospices, and community-based groups that care for the needs of older adults. They are essential in ensuring that senior citizens receive the proper care, have access to the resources they need, and receive emotional support as they age.

How Prepared is your Child for their Move to University?

{This post is a collaboration with BBC TVL, but all thoughts and experiences are my own}

Isn't it funny how the same day can be both one of the best and also one of the saddest days of your life? It really is bittersweet sometimes and I'm trying hard to remain optimistic and focus on the good things but equally, I know I need to acknowledge my grief, and that might sound over the top but that is what it is for me. I am mourning the end of an era. This summer my near-19-year-old JJ headed off to the University of Bristol to read Maths. 

He's worked hard to go there and he certainly deserves to be there after achieving four A* results in his A Levels but I'm going to miss him so much. I adore my firstborn, we have always had such fun together and now he is 175 miles away, so I'll probably only see him a few times a year. What a contrast this will be to the daily time we have spent together for the last nineteen years.  

I got him to make me a playlist for the car, so I can feel as if he is still sitting next to me on our shared journey to work for me and college for him, but I'll miss his baritone tunes. I suspect Imagine Dragons will feature strongly in my car journeys for a while as I try to remain close to him. But that's enough Mich, I don't want to be downcast, I need to look on the bright side. Parents are here to raise their children to be independent and to go off and live their best lives whilst being good citizens and remembering the greater good. I don't think my husband and I have done too badly at all with JJ. We are both very proud of him and all he has achieved so far.

He's certainly been through with his preparation for the big move and had a uni checklist in play from early on, which was reassuring to me. In fact, it was as if a switch had been flipped about a year ago, he downloaded an app (todoist) to help him stay on track and know what tasks needed doing and when. I laughed at him at first as he was very specific with what he added, down to remembering to brush his teeth and put on deodorant, but it turned out to be a great way to establish some really useful and healthy habits. He now remembers to take a brisk walk each day and to change his bed once a week, without any prompting from me!

Preventing Burnout among Nurses: Strategies for Self-Care and Work-Life Balance

Image Credit: Pexels

{This is a collaborative post}

Introduction:

Nursing is a demanding profession that requires immense dedication, compassion, and resilience. Nurses play a critical role in the healthcare system, providing round-the-clock patient care while juggling multiple responsibilities and facing high-stress levels. Unfortunately, the professional demands can often lead to burnout and emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion. Burnout affects nurses' well-being and has a detrimental impact on patient care and the overall healthcare system.

This comprehensive article will explore the importance of preventing burnout among nurses and provide practical strategies for self-care and achieving work-life balance.

Understanding Burnout and its Impact on Nurses:

Burnout is a state of being marked by emotional fatigue, detachment from work, and a loss of confidence in one's ability to succeed. It is a consequence of chronic workplace stress that can lead to negative physical, emotional, and psychological effects. Nurses are particularly susceptible to burnout due to the nature of their work, which often involves long shifts, high patient volumes, critical situations, and emotional strain. Burnout affects the individual nurse and compromises patient safety and quality of care. Nurses and healthcare organizations need to prioritize burnout prevention to ensure the well-being of healthcare professionals and the delivery of optimal patient care.

Strategies for Self-Care and Work-Life Balance:

1. Prioritize Self-Care:

Self-care is crucial for nurses to replenish their physical, mental, and emotional energy. Nurses should prioritize their well-being by engaging in activities promoting relaxation, such as regular exercise, mindfulness practices, and hobbies. Adequate sleep, healthy eating, and staying hydrated are also essential for maintaining energy levels and overall health. Nurses should allocate time for themselves and avoid overextending their efforts to balance work and personal life. Especially when making work-life balance a priority, nurses will be better equipped to handle stress and provide high-quality care. Whether studying and advancing in their career or simply taking time to relax and recharge, nurses should prioritize self-care. Fortunately, online courses provide the perfect opportunity for nurses to maintain a healthy work-life balance while continuing their education.

From RN to BSN to MSN, post masters nursing programs are designed for busy nurses to advance their careers and improve their work-life balance. It allows them to study at their own pace and from any location.

2. Set Boundaries and Practice Assertiveness:

Setting boundaries is essential for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Nurses should learn to say "no" when they feel overwhelmed or when additional responsibilities exceed their capacity. This may involve delegating tasks, seeking colleague support, or discussing workload concerns with supervisors. Practicing assertiveness allows nurses to communicate their needs effectively and advocate for their well-being without fear of repercussions. Establishing clear boundaries helps prevent excessive work hours and fosters a more sustainable work environment.

Are You Taking All Areas Of Your Health Seriously?

{This is a collaborative post}

Are you taking your health seriously? There are too many people out there right now that don’t, and this is causing them issues further down the line. For some reason we have convinced ourselves that there are some problems that are more important than others, and some areas of our body that are more important than others, and this is not true. If you have a medical issue, or you know that your health is not what it should be, then you need to be taking action. In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that you should know in order to take all areas of your health seriously. Keep reading down below if you would like to find out more about this.

General Wellbeing 

First, you need to be looking at your general wellbeing. Are you eating enough to get the right vitamins and nutrients that you need? Are you exercising regularly and ensuring that your muscles aren’t locking up? Are you generally living the healthiest life that you can most of the time? If the answer is no, then you need to think about how you can change this. Simple lifestyle changes make your life so much better, and they don’t even have to be complicated. 

If you are having a medical issue like you are experiencing headaches more frequently, then you need to speak to a doctor as soon as you can. You should not be experiencing any pain on a regular basis, and if you are then this needs to be looked into. 

Less Talked About Areas 

Another thing that you need to take seriously are the less talked about areas of health. We don’t spend much time talking about things like hearing, hands, feet, and so on, but they are all important. If you are having issues with your feet for example then you can look into a service like Galleria Podiatry which will be able to help you as they specialize in this area. Just because something isn’t spoken about often, doesn’t mean that it’s something you should ignore. 

Mental Health 

The final thing on the list is your mental health. Your mental health, while less talked about than physical, is massively important to your overall wellbeing. It’s not something that you should be pushing to the back and trying to forget about as this is only going to make it worse. You may not need to see someone professionally, but ensure that you are talking about how you are feeling, and giving yourself what you need to be healthy mentally. We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see that you should be taking care of all areas of your health, as all of them are as serious as the others. It’s important that you seek medical advice if you feel that you need it, or you feel as though something is out of character for your body, after all, you are the one that knows it the best.
