When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress Disease Connection
by Gabor Matte, MD (click cover)
Wonderful and accessible insights into how our stress affects us, an important book for those working with children ~Books We Recommend
Click cover. "Train Your Mind to Change Your Brain" by Sharon Begley.
The is a book filled with reasons to do yoga as it celebrates the ability of the brain to rewire and to learn new tricks. We can do this at any age. It's filled with science and wonderful stories of why this all can work. A heartening book to share.
Yoga for Compassion Fatigue
It was so fun to share some yoga for compassion fatigue ideas with the social workers from Liberty Dialysis (from UT,CO, and ID) today. Some comments:
” I love the way you connected the yoga so closely with the social work.”
“Presenter was approachable and down to earth. I loved the presentation of the brain/science research based in science.”
“It was a nice balance of thought and practice — it reminded me of what i “used to do’ — inspires mre to practice, to start up again. And I feel calmer than I have felt since last spring! Thank you! It was just great!! You have piqued my interest in the science side — and the social work connection.”
If you have a group that might benefit from some of these ideas, please get in touch. Offered for both nurses and social workers CE credits!
Sharing Stress Breaks with Nurses and Social Workers
 |
|||
This past week GreenTREE Yoga has been able to share ideas about yoga stress breaks at several annual conferences:
The Utah Domestic Violence Council, the Utah Nurses Association, and the Utah Society for Perianesthesia Nurses (USPAN). Folks seemed very receptive to incorporating a few simple stretching and breathing breaks into their busy days, both for self care and for their patients/clients/families.
One of our more popular suggestions is three quick breathing breaks to get ‘unstuck’. We will have the free audio available next week, so check back. The handout is available now Click Here. Please share your ideas on how you use these breaks. Breathe Easy!
Some stress management ideas from the Mayo Clinic
Are you looking for a way to turn down your ‘flight or fight’ response during the day … and the night?
The Mayo Clinic has a short video that might help you with a new idea or two, if what you are doing now could use
some tweaking! http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/yoga/MM00650
Caregivers and the workplace
The Family Leave and Medical Act of 1993 was a great start to supporting caregivers in the workplace, but it only applies to larger companies…and it is unpaid leave. For more ideas on the issue, go to: http://caregiver.com/articles/caregiver/a_silent_crisis.htm
Some interesting Caregiver articles
I came across this link, http://caregiver.com/articles/index.htm, and thought it had an interesting array
of articles on a wide variety of caregiving issues.
