Ironically, the stress itself is what may be threatening your health which is why GetCRM has created a visual to help you manage stress at work. [Read more…] about How to Manage Stress at Work

How You Can Help Your Child Better Manage ADHD Through Mindfulness

Family, Life, Mental Health, Mind, Mindfulness

It can be difficult to find the perfect treatment for children with ADHD, but recently, a form of meditation called mindfulness has become an increasingly popular addition to traditional treatment. When done correctly, mindfulness can fit into strategies for helping children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

A growing body of research shows that mindfulness can actually physically alter the brain to improve concentration, self-control, and other cognitive difficulties that are common in ADHD. And children, whose brains are highly malleable, may gain much more from the practice than their parents. Although there is research that supports mindfulness as a supplemental form of treatment for ADHD, in order to prove that these approaches can improve outcomes for children when ADHD more studies are needed.

Lack of sleep is an epidemic that is actually killing us—research found connections to cancer, diabetes and heart disease that stem from a lack of quality rest. This is exacerbated by a culture that seems to prize lack of sleep. Treating irregular sleep like a boast has been recognized as a pervasive bad habit. Add the recent rise in wearable tech that allows us to track our sleep more effectively and all this has been (pardon the pun) a wake-up call.

Family, Healing, Life, Spirit

There is a special anniversary this year. It is already 30th year that we are celebrating the Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. The tradition, started by National Resource Centre on Domestic Violence, is a well-established one and many people are finally talking openly about this issue.  However, domestic abuse is still an epidemic that does not show signs of slowing down. We simply know much more about it now than we did 30 years ago.

It is quite shocking, that while the term “domestic abuse” is thrown around a lot in media and public debates, many abuse victims are completely unaware that they are being abused and many abusers are ignorant that they are doing it. That is why it is crucial to educate young women and men about these destructive behavioral patterns and try to break them. If left unaddressed, the consequences of domestic abuse will continue to tear families apart and affect marital relationships, the children and also the future generations that have witnessed this behavior.
