Tips for getting over the mid-week slump!

Tips for getting over the mid-week slump!

First weekend of freedom!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To recap, this week we’ve seen the opening of non-essential retail; personal care premises such as hairdressers and nail salons; and public buildings, including libraries and community centres. Indoor leisure facilities such as gyms will also reopen (but only for use by people on their own or in household groups); as will most outdoor attractions and settings including outdoor hospitality venues, zoos, theme parks, and drive-in cinemas. Self-contained accommodation such as campsites and holiday lets, where indoor facilities are not shared with other households, can also reopen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hospitality venues will be allowed to serve people outdoors at Step 2 and there will be no need for customers to order a substantial meal with alcoholic drinks and no curfew, although customers must order, eat and drink while seated (‘table service’). Wider social contact rules will apply in all these settings to prevent indoor mixing between different households.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While funerals can continue with up to 30 mourners, the number of people able to attend weddings, receptions and commemorative events such as wakes will rise to 15.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy the freedom, and as always, be sensible!

SWIPE - In a world where expectations of how you look, what you wear, where you live, what career you have can be high it’s absolutely vital that we look after ourselves both physically and mentally.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyday pressures can be healthy and some of us enjoy the fast pace, dead line ethos of work. What’s important is that we are mindful that at any point the pressure can become too overwhelming and can cause mild to severe mental ‘ill’ health. We need to find time to switch off the gadgets – phones, tablets, laptops – and give ourselves time to reflect and recharge.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some tips to reduce stresses in your life and they can be easily incorporated into your daily routine…

An old English proverb, you are what you eat, has been used for many years to warn people to pay heed to their diet as it does directly affect their overall mind and body health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here we are using it to think about the sustainability of the food we eat, the welfare of the animals involved and the management of the environments that they come from.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking at the labels on the food you pick up is the easiest way to make your contribution to the overall sustainability of our food supply.

Prior to lockdown, we interviewed a costume maker

Prior to lockdown, we interviewed a costume maker who works in the theatre industry to see what really goes on behind closed doors.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As, ironically, the doors really are closed for theatres at the moment, we thought it was still worth posting this interview as they will reopen (we're on the home stretch!) and the career path is still very much a possibility for a number of industries, whether it be theatre, TV, film etc. The show will go on.

When you’re thinking, distracted or nervous it’s easy to use filler words such as um, ah, er, like, you know and so in your sentences.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But then before you know it, those innocent-seeming filler words have become part of every sentence and they actually begin to diminish your credibility, make you sound less academic and also distract from what you’re trying to say.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These filler words can also be called crutch words because they hold up sentences and help to string conversations together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is a few ways to help eliminate these, SWIPE to see a few elements of consideration. For the full guide head to: www.theadultbible.co.uk/guide/how-to-stop-saying-um
