Nomophobia: The Fear of Being Without Your Phone

Image
NOMOPHOBIA  What Is Nomophobia? Have you ever found yourself getting anxious or even panicked when you couldn't find your phone? Does the thought of being stranded in an isolated place with no cellular service fill you with a sense of dread? If so, you just might have some of the symptoms of nomophobia. Nomophobia is an abbreviated form of "no-mobile-phone phobia." The term was first coined in a 2008 study that was commissioned by the UK Postal Office. In a sample of more than 2,100 adults, the study indicated that 53% of participants experienced nomophobia. The condition is characterized by feelings of anxiety when people lose their phones, run out of battery life, or have no cellular coverage. The study revealed that this fear can be so powerful that many people never turn off their phones, even at night or during times that they won't be using their devices.1 When asked why they never turn off their phones, 55% cited a need to keep in touch with family and friends...

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR CHILD?

Image
LISTEN TO YOUR CHILD While some of us know that listening to children is important, it is the general assumption of many parents that their child should listen to them and not the other way around, however, listening to your children is way more essential than you can ever think.  By listening, we mean to listen without fixing, without judgment, with no other distraction, and to be fully present and listen with plenty of time so that children can form and articulate what they are thinking.  Research has it that listening to your child makes it more likely that they listen to you as well. This is on the simple principle that when children feel listened to or understood, they are more likely to listen attentively and try to understand what the parent is trying to convey. Therefore,  we will look at why attentive listening is important in the child’s growth and development in this blog. 1. LISTENING TO YOUR CHILD WILL STRENGTHEN YOUR BOND:   By patiently listening to th...

5 reasons you should consider blood donation

Image
  Reasons to Donate Blood There is a blood drive coming up near you, and you’ve been asked to schedule an appointment, but you are not so sure you should donate blood.  If you’ve donated before, you know that empowered feeling you get from helping others (and it took less than one hour total!). If you’ve never donated blood, it’s completely natural to feel a bit anxious about the experience. You can overcome your concerns by focusing on the  top reasons you should give blood:  1. One blood donation can save up to three lives. Your blood is composed of three key elements: blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Each of these components can be used to help a different patient. Red blood cells are a big help for surgery patients, platelets often go to cancer patients, and plasma is often used for trauma and burn patients.  2. There is no substitute for human blood.   We tend to assume there will be blood available when it is needed, but blood cannot be manufacture...

Although rigorous exercise will burn more calories, even simple exercises such as a brisk walk can positively impact weight loss. 2. Physical Fitness Exercise doesn’t just keep you trim—it helps you stay healthy. Regular exercise increases your overall level of fitness, which in turn boosts your immune system and makes you more resilient to illnesses like the common cold.
