The COVID-19 pandemic has been especially hard on elderly people, a Senior Home in Brazil Creates ‘Hug Tunnel’ So Visitors Can Embrace Their Loved Ones

By Good News Network -Jun 24, 2020

 Good News Network

Many have been advised to strictly adhere to stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines.

For those living in care facilities, this has meant that friends and loved ones cannot even visit them in person.

But, a care home in Brazil has come up with a creative solution, allowing seniors to connect with their loved ones while still keeping them safe from infection.

For 28 seniors living in isolation since March 17 at the Três Figueiras home in Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, Mother’s Day came and went without any visitors—and the loving staff noticed that spirits were at an all-time low.…

Published on Leave a comment on Depressed by the News? Here Are 7 Strategies for Self-Care

By Gennady Musher MD, PhD  2018

First the good news about all the bad news you might be reading and seeing these days: Bad news cannot cause depression. Depression is a complex biological illness, and in my professional practice as a psychiatrist, I have seen nothing to suggest that depression rates are rising in a response to the barrage of negative stories we’re hearing and seeing in the media these days. And none of the copious research on depression has concluded that it can be caused by exposure to negative media.

The roots of depression go deeper than environmental factors. After all, some people can suffer trauma and go on to live a normal life, while other people might become depressed over seemingly slight setbacks. Our responses to life’s vicissitudes are determined by the interaction of biology and environment — nature and nurture — and are as individual as each of us.

Choose Wisely - There Are Options!

However, if you’re predisposed to depression or are already in the throes of it, you may find that a lot of time spent absorbing the news — through television, newspapers, or online — can make you feel worse.…

Published on Leave a comment on 3 Exercises That Build Mental Strength In Just 5 Minutes A Day – Two Great Articles!

By Amy Morin

Mental Strength Trainer And Host Of The Mentally Strong People Podcast

Whether you’re tempted to give in to that craving for a cupcake, or you’re about to give up on your goals, perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of God-given willpower and before you make an excuse for your less than stellar performance, consider this; it only takes a few minutes a day to build the mental muscle you need to reach your greatest potential.

Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. Doing 50 push ups a day would only take a few minutes of your time, but doing it consistently would help you build a tremendous amount of upper body strength.

The same can be said with your mental muscle. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. With consistent exercise, you’ll build mental strength.

While there are many exercises that can help you grow stronger, here are three exercises that will help you build mental muscle in five minutes or less:

1. Identify three things you’re grateful for.…

NOT EVERYONE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AT THE PRESENT TIME, BUT FOR THOSE WHO CAN, WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRY? AND THIS WILL BE SOMETHING SOME OF US CAN LOOK FORWARD TO, HEY? CAMPING IS A FAVORITE TO MANY AND A NICE DISCOVERY IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED IT.

Camping Has the Power to Reset Our Internal Clocks

For diehard campers, no one needs to tell them how beneficial sleeping underneath the stars can be. The combination of peaceful tranquility, fresh air and connection with nature is enough to cure the effects of the 9-5. New research is backing up this intuition, suggesting that taking a time out from our busy, technology-soaked lives can help reset our internal clocks so we can literally rest more easily.

Researchers from the University of Colorado in Boulder set out on a six day camping trip in the Rocky Mountains, sans smartphones and any other illuminating tools. For the duration of the trip, the campers only utilized daylight and the glow of their campfire. The result was the group going to sleep an average of two and a half hours earlier than they would at home and getting ten hours of sleep each night.…

People made sacrifices—and weddings were postponed.

By Janet Vargas - Founder Of This Website

SOME NEGATIVE VOICES WERE SAYING "YOU'LL DRIVE EACH-OTHER NUTS" and "THE KIDS WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS" and YOU KNOW THE SAYING: NEGATIVITY STRENGTHENS NEGATIVITY. THE SAME CAN BE TRUE FOR A POSITIVE OUTLOOK - YOU CAN REAP GOOD FRUIT. ONE PERSON SAID THAT "COVID CAN MAKE YOU, YOUR MARRIAGE OR BREAK YOU" - DEPENDS WHAT WE DO IN/WITH THIS TIME AYE? SOME APPROACHES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. I WILL NAME A FEW HERE.

I don't want to sound sinchy but I believe that things can work out for Good and have practiced this for some years. You know something? A few months ago, I could see ways our lives could be enriched and improved during this time and sure enough, I'm hearing reports in Good News media of people experiencing that. Stay with me......

Think about it for a minute: things were "rush rush" for most people. Not enough time to do everything, not enough time to spend with each-other and kids........ then think of all the time most of you have now? Think of this as a positive, rather than a negative hey?…
