Lets talk exercise, it can be difficult to find the motivation to ensure you are exercising every day. But it is so important. Here are the positives exercising daily can have upon our well being:
It is important to remember that every ones abilities and needs when it comes to exercise will differ. Finding what work-out works for you is important to ensure you are not taking on too much and impacting your health in a negative way. This blog provides support in finding the right exercise for you :) https://www.mydr.com.au/sports-fitness/choose-the-right-exercise-for-you/  Lets talk meditation.... Mindfulness meditation is a form of focusing on the present moment.
It poses many benefits to our well-being. It is easy to get caught up in our surroundings and stresses in our lives. Mindfulness meditation gives us a break from this, and time to focus on how we feel inside. Making time for this in our days can improve both our physical and mental well-being. This article provides tips and benefits of mindfulness meditation and how you can implement it into your daily routine. Take a look below: https://www.helpguide.org/harvard/benefits-of-mindfulness.htm It is June, which marks pride month 2021. Here at Right Resolution we support the LGBTQ+ community. We want to raise awareness of the discrimination and adversity faced by this community. Statistics show that 1 in 5 people have experienced discrimination towards their sexual orientation or gender identity during the past 12 months. 2 in 5 transgender individuals have experienced hate crime in the past 12 months. 4 in 5 anti- LGBTQ+ hate crimes are unreported (Stonewall.org,2021). We must be aware of hate crime towards the LGBTQ+ community and report this to prevent it from occurring again. We share the love for every diverse individual, we may all be different, but we can accept our differences and be kind. HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 2021!!!! What will you guys be doing to celebrate?  Period poverty is very real. ALL females should be able to access period necessities. We must raise awareness of period poverty to promote change. At Right Resolution, we are very passionate about this topic and have launched The Jeevan Project: providing free sanitary wear to care leavers. Head over to our social media for more information. If you feel you suffer from period poverty please do not feel ashamed to reach out for support. Periods are natural and we must fight the stigma. WE SUPPORT YOU.  Bethany Swan

You may not associate the way you eat with the way you feel, but the impact they have on each other is huge! Food improves your mood, your energy levels and attainment.

This year brings us the first ever Care Experienced History Month. This month will aim to raise awareness regarding what it means to be care experienced. The voices of care experienced individuals matter and are so important. Global recognition is needed so that we can come together, showing support and equality.  Bethany Swan
