Resilience Is Critical For A Happy Life

Charles Darwin once said: “It’s not the strongest or the most intelligent that survive, but those who are most adaptable to change”. Control is an illusion that we all wrestle with in our own way. The “good” and the “not so good” comes and goes in everyone’s life, with the only real constant being change. One of the biggest source of unhappiness lies in not being able to adapt to the change that comes into our lives. When we dwell and cling to the dissappointment of unmet expectations of what was supposed to happen but didn’t see coming, it makes it more difficult to adapt, shift and change course. Being able to shift gears, grieve and welcome new direction and possibility opens flow. What we choose to focus on affects our happiness and how empowered we feel in the world.

Spring Clean the Medicine Cabinet

Heel Pain Management

Effective pain management for cracked heels, or heel fissures, is crucial for alleviating discomfort and promoting healing. Cracked heels often stem from dry skin, moisture deficiency, or underlying medical conditions. To address the pain linked to this condition, various strategies can be employed. Moisturization is paramount, keeping the skin hydrated to prevent further cracking. Gentle exfoliation aids in removing dead skin cells but should be done cautiously to avoid exacerbating the issue. Soaking feet in warm water softens the skin, offering relief. Well-fitting footwear with adequate cushioning helps manage pain and prevents worsening. Seeking timely treatment can prevent infections and further complications, ensuring swift recovery.

Check Your Child’s Posture

The Canadian Society of Pediatrics state infants aged 0-2 years should not have any exposure to technology, 3-5 years be restricted to one hour per day, and 6-18 years restricted to two hours per day.
