May 1st is Beltane, or ‘bright fire’. This old Scottish and pagan holiday marks the beginning of summer and is one of four major festivals in the ancient Gaelic calendar. It is still celebrated in many communities in Scotland. Beltane is associated with growth, vitality and new life. It’s a time of hope, a time for breaking old patterns that no longer serve us and starting anew. This May Day, here are the RASAC team’s top five tips for healthy habits to explore... 1 Be the friend you need. It’s easy to complement the people we love, but how often do we notice positive changes in ourselves? Higher self-esteem is linked to greater resilience and life satisfaction -each day, notice one thing you appreciate about you. 2 Move for your mood. Physical activity isn’t just taking care of your body, it can also help your mood. Doing just 15 minutes of intentional exercise per day could help you feel happier this summer. 3 Start a gratitude list. Feeling grateful can benefit our health in even help us live longer, but how can we practice it? Before you go to bed, think over your day and write a list of any time someone brought a positive into your day, no matter how small. Did a barista ask how your day was going? Add it to the list. 4 Accept the grey. Humans prefer thinking in black and white, but in reality most situations are not completely good or completely bad. Next time things don’t go as expected, ask yourself – is this situation black and white, or is this in the grey? And if I am in the grey, can I be kinder to myself about it? People who are able to practice self-compassion experience less stress than those who are overly self-critical. 5 Done is better than perfect. Comparison is the thief of joy, and it’s easy to strive for perfection if you fall into the trap of believing someone’s Instagram life is representative of everyday life. Perfectionism can often lead us to delay tasks or leave them unfinished, remember, done is better than perfect. #ListenBelieveSupport #stressmanagement #stressbuster #rasacpk #endsexualabuse #PerthandKinrossWe are offering free Multi Agency Training to professionals working in Perth & Kinross, who may work with individuals who are affected by sexual violence📖 ⭐️TRAINING LEARNING OUTCOMES To improve your knowledge and skills in a range of different topics relating to sexual violence, understanding survivors’ lives and to enhance your practice. ⭐️TRAINING STYLE Emphasis on activities, discussion and practical tools We will be delivering a mixture of online and in person sessions.
