@emmalgsutton This does not spoil them, it helps them to start feeling safe again. No criticism or comparing them with others their age. It’s in the little things.
It’s counter intuitive, but things will change that way.
@emmalgsutton Solve your own trauma issues as much as possible, so you can regulate your own emotions. Because they are so sensitive, they feel everything.
Then no push, no pull, just serve to meet needs. Like food, drink, small moments of attention.
The average American gets 3000 to 4000 steps a day.
This pales in comparison to our hunter gatherer ancestors who got 16,000 to 17,000 steps.
This image shows 2 brain scans that represent a students neural activity during a test following sitting and walking for 20 minutes.
The color blue represents lower neural activity, while the color red shows higher brain activity in a given region.
This shows that exercise has a massive impact not only on your physical health but your mental health.
Here are 5 reasons why:
1) It increases serotonin, norepinephrine & dopamine, which manage your thoughts & emotions.
2) It releases endorphins into your body that block out pain and make you feel good.
3) It promotes neuroplasticity, which enhances your brains ability to learn skills and change.
4) It increases oxygen supply to your brain that can help with memory, flexible thinking and self control.
5) It helps you manage stress & increase energy, which will help you become better at every aspect of life.
If exercise came in pill form, it would be plastered across the front page, hailed as the blockbuster drug of the century.
Do you need to hit a gym to get the benefits? It helps but no.
You can find ways to get more movement throughout your day.
It could be taking the stairs instead of using the elevator.
Or parking a bit farther from your spot. You could even do walking meetings.
You can do micro workouts like doing 10 pushups each time you use a door or squats before you sit.
There are many ways to get more exercise throughout your day that the only thing you have to get over is yourself.
Do not sleep on what a few more steps or a bout of intense exercise will do to your brain and body.
It is the #1 metahabit in the world for a reason. Use it to your advantage.
Ps. Credit to @SahilBloom for being the first one to bring this brain scan to my attention.

So just focus, and keep aiming."

I don’t know why people don’t place more importance on visual design and communication in eLearning… we’re surrounded by great design in almost everything we interact with, but it isn’t prioritised in eLearning. Why is that?
Overwhelmed and entangled?
Zoom in to straighten out your mind and smoothen your mood.
Even a curved line is straight if you zoom in enough.
What's your next immediate step? Do that. Ignore everything else.
@drbrambakker Als je als kind hoort dat je niet helemaal ok bent als je bepaalde dingen anders ervaart, dan is er een kans dat elke prikkel die boodschap gaat oproepen. En ja, dan blijkt er inderdaad een overdaad aan prikkels te zijn.
Zomaar een gedachte.
@leowmya There are litterally ’millions missing’ and still they don’t hear us. I don’t know what’s wrong with this world.
You’re a brave guy, whether by conquering the waves or by asking for awareness!
@PelagieHortense Euh, ME/cvs in ieder geval for sure en alle psychische ziektes.
Hulpverlening? Sorry, maar dat is de lacher van de eeuw. Dat is een carrière circus dat niets met hulpverlening te maken heeft.
@KarinDe86491765 Mijn moeder zei ”Het is je eigen schuld”, en verder is er nooit meer over gesproken. Het is 40 jaar geleden en ik denk er nooit meer over, maar wat er ook gebeurt, ik denk altijd dat het mijn schuld is.
@SimoneWillemsz Ik weet niet eens wat de exameneisen zijn en zit nu al bijna twee maanden met een paar achterhaalde boeken waar ik niet doorheen kom en die nauwelijks relevant zijn. Morgen weer een dagje les. Ben benieuwd
Vandaag weer aan de studie met NCOI. Dat moet toch 1000 keer beter kunnen. Paar doodsaaie studieboeken lezen en geen begeleiding. Zal wel leuk verdienmodel zijn. Spijt dat ik eraan begonnen ben. Dacht dat het leuk ging worden.
