Walking in to a care home & hearing a member of the team say to a resident:

“Alan, I love you”

🥹🥰❤️

Feeling loved & cared about, not just for, whether you live with #dementia or not is vital to us all. Comfort, attachment, inclusion & belonging 🫂🤝🏻

This made my 2023 ❤️

One effective way to identify the triggers of your nighttime eating is to keep a food journal. Tracking your eating & exercise #habits alongside your feelings can help you identify patterns. This may enable you to work on breaking any negative cycles of behavior. #health

The early symptoms of a heart attack don’t always feel severe.

A squeezing across the chest. A feeling of unease. It’s never too early to call 999 and describe your symptoms.

[HealthyIreland @HealthyIreland]

Healthier options, routine, and exercise are often not a priority during Christmas, but it is important to still look after your health and feel good during this time.

[Department of Health @healthdpt]

If you take regular medication, check that you have enough left to do you over the Christmas and New Year period.

If you need a repeat prescription, order it now before GP practices close for the holidays.

GPs will be closed on Mon 25 Dec, Tues 26 Dec and Mon 1 January.

Remember F.A.S.T. for the signs of a stroke.

▶️ Face – has their face fallen on one side?
▶️ Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
▶️ Speech – is it slurred?
▶️ Time – it’s time to call 999

When stroke strikes, remember to act F.A.S.T.

Understanding & influencing courageous behaviour is an important part of leading change. If we don't feel courage, we won't try new things. @BillTreasurer helpfully describes "three buckets of courage":
1) TRY courage is the courage of first attempts, being wiling to experiment & try new things.
2) TRUST courage is about letting go of formulas that worked in the past, our preconceptions about how things should be & our need to control.
3) TELL courage is where people feel safe to express themselves authentically & fully.
It's our role as leaders to actively nurture the three courage buckets to create an environment where confidence & psychological safety prevail over fear. Powerful blog & sketchnote by @tnvora: https://t.co/2m9t5481m3, based on https://t.co/saA4DxaZAo

Christmas is a time for enjoying some quality time with loved ones. A few treats won’t have a major impact on your health, just start again with your target in mind and you’ll find it easier to get back on track. For tips and advice on eating well, visit https://t.co/IVUYGa20rh
