Self-care has become “a thing” like the younger generations describe it:) But I believe it has always been an important part of life. To some folks it comes more naturally perhaps because they grew up around family and friends that did this on a regular basis or it was just how they lived and discovered the wonderful benefits. For others like myself, working at home by cleaning the yard or scrubbing our windows squeaky clean as a child was an enjoyable experience, believe it or not:). But I also enjoyed the many times we’d visit our small town families and roll in the green grass with my cousins and sit by our front porches to stargaze ✨and dream. Those forms of self care are once again times I look forward to as a grandparent. But it was my adult children who taught me that the little things we can do for ourselves like a yummy matcha tea ☕️ and investing in what is my passion to be as ergo friendly as possible like this cool maga ring smartphone📱stand is okay to enjoy a little time catching up my friends and family and make any day feel just a little more like the green grass and starry nights 🌌.

🥗 March is Nutrition Awareness Month! 🥗

Did you know that your workspace habits can impact your nutrition? If you spend long hours sitting at a desk, it’s easy to grab quick (and not-so-healthy) snacks or skip meals altogether.

This month, let’s fuel our bodies for success by:
✅ Swapping sugary snacks for fruits, nuts, or yogurt for lasting energy.
✅ Taking movement breaks to stretch and stay active.
✅ Planning meals ahead to avoid unhealthy fast food options.

A few small changes can boost energy, focus, and overall well-being—because better nutrition = better productivity!

💬 What’s your go-to healthy snack at work? Let’s share ideas!

Sharing this information as an occupational therapist with my background in psychology, sociology, and physical health, I believe we need to help combat the issue of mental health with every person we encounter that is in need of support and resources to address their mental health needs!
Too many people are struggling and it is affecting their lives and those of their communities.
Please become informed in learning the signs and symptoms of mental health and help save a life!

In 2008 July was declared as National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, also known as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Campbell (1950-2006) was a teacher, journalist and mental health advocate who was passionate about bringing awareness to mental health struggles minority communities often face.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act as we cope with life. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. More than 1 in 5 US adults live with a mental illness. Mental health issues are treatable and often preventable, but not everyone has access to the resources they need. People in some racial and ethnic minority groups face more challenges than others getting mental health care. These can include factors such as lack of access to quality mental health care services, cultural stigma surrounding mental health care, discrimination, and overall lack of awareness about mental health.

May is both national Mental Health month and arthritis awareness month. So something to consider is the number of people who have some form of arthritis and may experience mental health issues due to how the arthritis affects one’s quality of life. Occupational therapists can provide methods, strategies, and education on how a person can better perform their daily living skills such as work tasks, leisure activities, and home management. They also can help the individual with helping redirect their depressed mood and feeling of helplessness by educating on coping and stress management skills. Movement done safely is always a wonderful medicine for mental health of any kind!
At the same time, consider how ergonomics plays a crucial role in bringing these areas together to help make life safe, approachable , , develop confidence, and prevent injury.

OTs in different capacities of expertise can help make the person with arthritis better able to manage their symptoms with evidence based interventions and education. Overall, we can assist the individual to be more comfortable and functional while increasing their awareness of how they will respond to stressors and feelings of anxiety and despair in order to help them cope and adapt to how the condition of arthritis affects their livelihood.

The month of May is recognized each year as National Arthritis Awareness Month. The significance of this observation is to bring attention to a condition that currently affects over 53 million Americans and is expected to grow to over 67 … Continue reading →

For you, my OT colleagues and friends this month of April when we observe occupational therapy month:

It is awesome to support my colleagues when their posts come up and I can share a comment of encouragement . You may do the same. What happened this morning was the video I saw which came up after the one I was just viewing. This is the video that came up, wow!
I immediately thought of all of us OTs who may have had the privilege to serve a child or teen with Down’s syndrome. I remember doing this some years ago.
Hearing this teen sing and his accompanying guitar player brought tears to my eyes and my heart was grateful that the gift in return for anyone who has helped these children and teens, is hearing and seeing the awesome things a child with Down’s can do! You may have a child with DS or who is autistic, I believe it is encouraging when you have Caring and Compassionate OTs and other members in your circle for your child. Thank you OTs for your care and compassion.
