Exercising with Masks

As gradually Physiotherapy clinics and Exercise centres begins to open up, just a friendly note or a reminder on the following:
1. Wearing mask can have an effect on your breathing (air flow restriction), so be cautious and careful when your advising exercises for an individual who is having pre-existing breathing conditions.
2. Exercises for children with masks should be extra careful, as they might not understand that difficulty in breathing is mask related.
3. During Exercises, mask can displace, which will force you to correct it especially if it goes up and covers your vision field. At this point the chances of touching your face or eyes are higher.
4. Mask can get wet during Exercises due to moisture in exhaled air or sweat or secretions. Wet mask can harbour pathogens and needs to be replaced.
5. Remember wearing mask while exercising fatigues you more, so be conscious of it and set your exercise goals accordingly.

In short: Exercise is beneficial. Start slowly and preferably outdoors in adequate distances from others. If wearing mask, watch out for the exertion levels and physical changes especially breathing. Take breaks and keep yourself active 👍

What is Happiness?

What is #Happiness? 💛#Money can only buy happiness up to about $75,000 – after that, it has no significant effect on our emotional well-being (Kahneman & Deaton, 2010). 💛Most of our happiness is not determined by our #genetics, but by our experiences and our day-to-day lives (Lyubomirsky, Sheldon, & Schkade, 2005). 💛Trying too hard to find happiness often has the opposite effect and can lead us to be overly #selfish (Mauss et al., 2012). 💛Pursuing happiness through #social means (e.g., spending more time with family and friends) is more likely to be effective than other methods (Rohrer, Richter, Brümmer, Wagner, & Schmukle, 2018). 💛The pursuit of happiness is one place where we should consider ditching the SMART goals; it may be more effective to pursue “vague” happiness #goals than more specific ones (Rodas, Ahluwalia, & Olson, 2018). 💛Happiness makes us better citizens – it is a good predictor of civic engagement in the #transition to adulthood (Fang, Gal...

"Bounce Abuse: the story of a Road-side Romeo" - How we take care of something or someone who helped us!

As I got out from the delivery vehicle after being assembled, on to the stickering shop for a makeover to enhance my already glowing body in bright yellow, I was excited looking forward to my upcoming roles BOUNCING along with my fellow colleagues, who also followed the same routine. I was named "Romeo". The Road-side Romeo. We were taken again back on the vehicle on a comfy ride into the city where my colleagues got dropped off and I wasn't sure of my drop location, but I was still excited though to get my wheels on the road. Finally my drop spot came and I was carefully dropped along with a few of my colleagues in a space called "Bike Rentals". I was happy chilling under the shade before I could just get a feel of it, got a beep "Tring" which ignited the first life in me and from then on its never looking back "vroooooom.. vroooooooommmmmm.." across the streets around the coffee spots, parks, malls and luxury streets which was indeed th...
