When you find yourself dwelling on the past in a way that makes you think less of yourself or your ability to make change, let go of the thought and focus on what’s happening right now. https://t.co/7p9PIeiKAc via @get12min

A change of diet can reduce some of the adverse health effects associated with menopause, such as blood sugar control and cholesterol levels, according to a new study led by King’s College London. 🍎

Starting my 25th year in teaching.
Talking to lady in the supermarket and she asked, ‘what do they do for you when you get this far?’ my response was the truth-nothing! Recruitment incentives should be throughout the career not simply at the start. Experience should be valued.
@DrRLofthouse This really resonates Rachel! Exactly why I created Reset not Inset 15 years ago. My measure of a successful Inset session is about shifting the curiosity & courage dial a few notches. Do the team feel just a little bit unsettled to look at things differently ????
I was intrigued why my granny used to iron every last bit of laundry in the basket. She said
1) You can get more in the drawers if they are pressed
2) I love the feel of smooth things
3)Ironing releases the creases in my laundry and my mind.

The Silent Pandemics
1. We don't eat real food.
2. We don't exercise.
3. We sit at desks and then come home to sit on couches.
4. We numb our emotions with food, drugs & alcohol, which makes the emotions come back even worse.
5. We decided that the sun is dangerous for our health.
6. We don't allow ourselves to be bored anymore.
7. We created a pill for every ill.
8. We've decided that being entertained is more important than living.
9. We have a constant connection to our devices but no connection to ourselves & our communities.
10. We eat too many calories but not enough nutrition.
11. Testosterone levels are declining and some people think that’s a good thing.
12. Some scientists promote sugary cereals to be more nutritious than eggs and beef.
13. We believe our feelings are facts.
14. We want to cancel others we disagree with and people who hang around others we disagree with.
15. Pharma companies are second to tech companies in marketing spend to consumers.
16. We trade our sleep for more social media time, which messes up our sleep even more.
17. We are mentally unhealthy because we're physically unhealthy.
18. There's a health food section in the grocery store when it should be where the whole foods are.
19. We get exposed to the extremes on social media and think they are the reality we live in.
20. People watch mainstream news to keep us informed when they’re incentivized to keep us angry & scared.
21. We put focus too much on money & status and not enough on health, family & community.
I don't have all the answers but I believe that we can live better lives by doing the opposite of this list.
Take action. Be proactive.
Remembering a wonderful teacher and inspirational thought leader. I hope you’re able to stand in your element every day, even for just a few magical moments first thing in the morning #element#Elemental

‘Emma uses her world class understanding of primary education to humanise the science of learning in a way few have managed before. This is a profoundly pragmatic and insightful book that will leave a legacy worthy of our children.’
