Public healthcare is a vital part of any country’s system of public services, and it plays a major role in ensuring that all people can get the care they need.

 In this post, we will explore the importance of public health to society and debate whether or not it should be offered as a service at all levels.

In order for developing countries to adequately provide medical treatment to their populations, if a patient cannot afford a private physician or hospital visit, they have to rely on public health facilities.

 These hospitals may be scarce and/or difficult to access due to crime rates or infrastructure issues. 

This can strain the integrity of these facilities and ultimately cause patients to die due to lack of medical supplies and treatment.

However, for countries that lack the resources to provide health care for their population, choosing not to offer public health services may be a better option. These factors include:

As we can see in the article, if society is faced with the choice of whether or not to provide public healthcare, it will play an important role in our decision. 

Public healthcare has a direct relation with citizens and people in general and indirectly affects all individuals (students in school and citizens in general).

 Public healthcare is imperative to society because it provides patients with access to essential medical supplies and treatments.

tamayose et al. found that the two most cited reasons students chose a career in public health were

1.  The desire to engage with others and improve their quality of life: 

Promoting public health requires constant interactions with everyone, from doctors to patients :

Thus, without public healthcare, people will suffer tremendously due to the lack of important resources. 

Because of this, we can conclude that public healthcare offers a variety of different advantages that no other system can offer.

 For example: “Publicly funded healthcare systems such as Medicare in the US are often seen as being equitable, efficient and effective.” 

This means that the government is able to provide high-quality services compared to smaller facilities that are privately funded because it has more financing options available for new equipment and technology.

2. The desire to help people : 

Public healthcare needs a large number of employees to maintain the facility and provide healthcare to patients. 

Nurses, doctors and specialized consultants are vital for public health; we need them to treat as many people as possible.

Employment opportunities as a public health professional: 

Accounting/auditing managers: The manager works with their teams in order to balance the books and keep the data up-to-date for financial reports. 

These managers need many skills; they need to be able to calculate figures and use accounting software. They also must be able to communicate and be professional at all times.

The writer of this article does not mention the fact that public healthcare can play an important role in our society however, just because it has an effect on the society, it should still be considered.

 Public healthcare provides individuals with access to essential medical supplies and treatments while maintaining human rights across the globe.

 Individuals must still think about their decision before making it so that the outcome is positive for them and for other people in general while maintaining human rights across the globe. 

 Until this problem is solved, it will be difficult to achieve positive results in anything that will involve public healthcare.

Importance of Public Healthcare :

1. It gives people access to essential medical supplies and treatment.

2. It is imperative to society because it provides patients with access to essential medical supplies and treatments while maintaining human rights across the globe.

3. Public healthcare can play an important role in our society however, we must still think about the outcome before we make it so that we don’t negatively affect other people in our society and in general.

4. Until this problem is solved, it will be difficult to achieve positive results in anything that will involve public healthcare.

 Although this point may be obvious, it is important for students to consider when making a decision regarding public health care. 

Individuals must still think about their decision before making it so that the outcome is positive for them and for other people in general. 

5. Public healthcare provides individuals with access to essential medical supplies and treatments while maintaining human rights across the globe. Â Â

Summary: 

Public healthcare is a vital part of any country’s system of public services, and it plays a major role in ensuring that all people can get the care they need.

Machine learning (ML) has made tremendous disruption in the world of technology and in businesses. Humans no longer view machines as mere machines but as intelligent partners that may soon outwit them in informed decision-making. Today, ML, a niche under artificial intelligence (AI), has grown into a billion-dollar industry that is projected to grow at 42.08% CAGR between 2018-2024. Still, its full potential is yet to be explored as more ML tools and technologies emerge. Businesses large and small are adopting ML to leverage the massive volumes of data in their custody to gain insights for efficient operations and business growth.   

Machine learning, a data analytics technique, teaches machines to learn from data and improve from experience. Machine learning algorithms are programs designed to learn from data without being explicitly programmed to do so. They analyze input data to make future predictions. Algorithms improve performance as new data samples are fed to them while continuously learning from the data to improve their predictive performance. This explains why ML algorithms are also commonly known as predictive modeling or predictive analytics.   

Why does machine learning matter?  

Machine learning algorithms are key problem-solvers in most if not all industries. Consider a financial institution that employs machine learning algorithms for credit scoring, a healthcare research facility that uses machine learning in drug discovery and disease outbreak detection, treatment facilities that use ML for tumor detection and DNA sequencing, or manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace industries that have adopted machine learning for predictive maintenance. Other ML technologies like image processing, computer vision, and natural language processing are important for face recognition, motion detection, and voice recognition applications.  

Three categories of machine learning algorithms

Machine learning algorithms are divided into three broad categories which are:  

  1. Supervised learning 

Supervised learning uses known data sets and responses and learns from them to build ML models that can be used to make future predictions for new data samples. The models are trained continuously using labeled (training) datasets until they can make predictions to the desired level of accuracy before being applied to newer datasets. This type of machine learning is useful in scenarios where known data is available for the values being predicted.  

Supervised learning algorithms are classified further into two categories based on the type of problems that they solve which are:

  • Classification techniques 
  • Regression techniques 

Classification techniques 

Classification models are best applied to data that can be labeled, categorized into distinct categories or classes. They are used to predict discrete values in known sets of data. Classifiers can be:

  • Binary classifiers in which output is classified into two distinct classes for instance genuine and spam mail, cancerous or benign tumors, positive or negative sentiments, etc. 
  • Multi-class classification classifies data into more than two distinct classes for types of iris plant species. 

Common classification algorithms 

  • Naive Bayes. This classification model is based on Bayes’ theorem in which all the attributes of data points are classified independently of each other. It is the easiest to build, the most simplistic, and a good model to use on overly large datasets. 
  • Support vector machine (SVM). These models are used to filter data that will be used for classification and regression analyses.  
  • K-nearest neighbor. K-Nearest-Neighbour algorithm is used to estimate the likelihood of a data point being in one cluster or another by looking at the majority data points around a single data point in other words its k neighbors. This process is applied to an entire data set every time new input data is introduced. This algorithm can be used to solve both classification and regression problems. 

Regression techniques 

Regression analysis is a supervised machine learning technique that is applied to datasets to predict continuous outcomes (dependent variables) against one or multiple independent variables. The aim of regression analysis is to analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variable(s) and is best applied to forecast trends and patterns, time-series, and to establish cause-effect relations between variables in a data range for instance in the weather forecast, electricity load forecasting, and sales forecasting.  

Common regression analysis models include: 

  • Linear regression. This is the most common regression analysis model. This model is used to determine the output (dependent) value based on the input (dependent) values. It is used to quantify the relationship between dependent and independent variables by fitting the best line that is nearest to most of the plotted data points. 
  • Logistics regression. Logistic regression is different from linear regression in that linear regression is applied when predicting continuous values i.e temperature. On the other hand, logistic regression estimates the probability of an event occurring from historical data. Unlike linear regression, logistic regression outcomes are discrete values i.e yes/no, positive/negative, and are thus best suited for binary data classification. 
  • Decision trees. A decision tree is in essence a flowchart in a structure similar to that of a tree in which data is continuously branched (split) based on certain attributes (independent variables) such that the leaves represent a possible outcome or decision while each node represents a test applied to a variable. Decision trees are applicable to both classification and regression techniques. 
  • Neural networks. Artificial neural networks resemble the human brain comprising numerous interconnected neurons organized in layers. These neurons work together to process information hence learn through experience and by example. They are used for analyzing non-linear relationships in a high-dimensional dataset. 
  1. Unsupervised learning 

Unsupervised learning discovers hidden patterns from unlabeled datasets. Unsupervised learning is best applied to clustering populations. 

The most common unsupervised technique is:

Clustering

Clustering is used for exploratory and dimensionality reduction data analysis to discover hidden patterns or natural groupings in a dataset. Cluster analysis models are commonly applied to market research, threat detection, and object recognition. 

Common clustering algorithms are:

  • K-means. K-means models classify datasets into a specific number of clusters represented by the variable k. Each data point is assigned to one of the clusters based on the features of the cluster.  
  • Apriori algorithm. The Apriori algorithm learns correlations and relations between variables in datasets to discover association rules.  
  • Hierarchical clustering. Hierarchical clustering involves grouping objects with similar attributes into clusters with a predetermined hierarchical order from top to bottom.  
  • Neural networks are also a common algorithm under the clustering technique.  
  1. Reinforcement learning

Reinforcement learning involves training models within a complex uncertain environment to make a series of specific decisions. Through trial and error, the agents take actions that are either rewarded or ‘punished’. Over time, the agents adapt to taking the rewarded actions to maximize the reward. 

Common reinforcement learning algorithms 

  • Markov Decision Process (MDP). The Markov decision process involves an agent (decision-maker) in an environment with which it interacts. At discrete time points, the agent takes actions that the environment will reward positively or negatively to generate a new state. The MDP expresses the environment in reinforcement learning in a mathematical format. 
  • Q learning. Unlike the Markov decision process, the Q-learning technique finds the best action to take for individual states with neither an environment nor a model. It is thus considered an off-policy or policy-free reinforcement learning algorithm. 

Which machine learning algorithm should you use?  

Each of the machine learning algorithms explained above takes a unique approach in learning from data. For this reason, it is important to select the appropriate algorithm because there is no one-size-fits-all. Importantly, to select the right algorithm, one needs to consider:

  • The type and size of data he/she is working with
  • Quality of data 
  • Available time to train the models 
  • The insights to be drawn from the data
  • Application of data insights 

Also important is experimentation with the models to evaluate their appropriateness to the situation that they are being applied to. This may require some time yet ultimately leads to accurate predictions, something that every business needs.

istockphoto 1016131800 170667a

The Aristotle Books Selection is a series of books, composed of practical knowledge and lessons about human activities. The selection encourages readers to use the wisdom of the ancients for their own benefit. 

The series offers readers total knowledge in both ancient and modern concepts, though these times are changing rapidly. 

This selection is intended to help students better understand not only the importance of what they learn, but also how it can help them grow personally and professionally into their future lives.

These books are only the beginning of Aristotle’s teachings. The books may act as an introduction to more important knowledge about Aristotle and the concepts he teaches. 

The entire selection is also available online at many different websites, where one can browse or search for certain topics or words.

Check out here,some more information about the books aristotle selections 1927

The Complete Books Selections consists of six books. In the first book is a map of the Greek city-state, which was called the “Polis.” 

This map shows where Aristotle’s school, called the Lyceum, was located. The last book is on ethics, which means how one should behave. This book contains some of Aristotle’s most famous thoughts about ethics and more.

Here are some points discussed about Aristotle Books Selections-

1. What are some of the main themes of Aristotle’s philosophy?

Aristotle believed that only a virtuous life can truly make a person happy. He called this concept “eudaimonia,” which is Greek for “good spirit.” 

This term is often used interchangeably with “happiness” because eudaimonia is more about how one lives their life rather than what one does to make themselves feel good. 

The goal of all people should be to become virtuous, or morally good. 

According to Aristotle, one cannot simply do good deeds and expect to be considered morally good; they must live a life devoted to moral reasoning and virtue.

Aristotle believed that all people were born with a natural instinct for what is good and what is bad. This idea is called the “natural virtue.” 

One function of reason is to control and guide the natural virtue. Aristotle believed that those who do not use reason as a way to govern their life will probably lead a life of vice.

2. What are some of Aristotle’s main philosophical concepts?

Aristotle believed that the most important task in life was the development of virtue. Virtue is a type of good that is independent of other things. 

Aristotle wrote that there were three types of virtue: moral, intellectual and active, and he explained each type in detail. He believed that all people have some natural instinct to know what is right and wrong, and this sense can be stimulated by reason and learning. 

He also described the virtues as being necessary for happiness because without them, one cannot develop a complete character or personality.

3. Describe Aristotle’s belief in a life of reason and virtue.

Aristotle believed that one’s life should be ruled by reason. He wrote that there were two types of activities that one could engage in: “automatically” and “disciplined.” 

Automatically is the activity of one who does not think about what they are doing, but rather their subject comes from outside themselves. In this case, our character would have little to say about how we behave. 

On the other hand, being disciplined means an activity where we actively pursue our goal by thinking about it beforehand. In this case, a person will have a definite purpose in life and will put a great deal of time and energy into achieving it. 

Aristotle felt that the latter of these two types of activity is what will produce a virtuous character.

4. What does Aristotle describe as the main goal of human life?

Aristotle believes that the ultimate goal of human life is happiness, which can best be described as “an active life of virtue.” 

He believes that happiness cannot be fully found in external things, but rather in our character and conduct. 

He believes that there are three things that need to happen for one to achieve this type of happiness: one must have good reasoning skills, they must have good moral habits, and they must be involved in activities they enjoy.

5. What was Aristotle’s idea of happiness?

Aristotle believed that the purpose of life is to live a happy life. He also believed that it was through this concept of happiness that we get the most pleasure out of our lives. 

Happiness, according to Aristotle, is not an emotion or an intuition; it is a formless state in which one will experience all emotions and intuitions in some way. He felt that one can find it through the development of virtue and character.

Best ways of work management

istockphoto 1291478674 170667a

If you’re struggling to be productive in your work, it could be because you don’t have the best ways of work management.

Clean ERSJ has some more information about the best ways to work management.

We’ve put together this post with all the information you need to ensure that you get the most out of your time at work. 

We cover how to break down tasks, organising workloads, and what not to do when it comes to office hours. 

Here are some points discussed about the best ways of work management

1.Break down tasks

The best way to mitigate feelings of overwhelm is to break things down into smaller chunks. The only problem with this approach is that when it comes to work, we all have infinitely long tasks that we need to do in a relatively short term.

Breaking them down into manageable stuff is really difficult when it comes to work because you want the things done as soon as possible so that you get a sense of relief from the stress. 

You might not know what exactly you need to do, but at least you have a framework for your task list and can get started with it immediately.

2. Organize your workload

Your workload needs to be organized for you to be able to manage it well. Organizing your workload is the only way that you can work better and faster. You can’t afford to waste any time when it comes to work. 

You also need to keep track of what’s happening all the time, which is why you should know how to organize your workload effectively.

It’s hard because you might not even know how the system works, but taking some time out of your day for planning out your work can make a huge difference in the long run. 

It doesn’t take too much effort, but it does require some focus if you want it done effectively.

3.Don’t work through the night

Working through the night isn’t good for anyone. You can get caught up in all your tasks and lose your focus, so it’s important to avoid this at all costs. 

When you feel like you should work through the night, it might just be because you haven’t given enough thought into your workload and how much time you really need to get it done.

You need to keep track of what needs doing and when, and never give yourself more than a few hours to get stuff done at a time. 

4. Don’t multitask

There’s nothing worse than trying to complete several tasks at once, especially when it comes to work. 

This is because you need to stay focused on one thing at a time to be able to get things done efficiently. Multi-tasking can really put you off your game and lead you to feeling exhausted all the time.

Multi-tasking can lead you to procrastinate or get distracted by other things that don’t need to do, ruining your productivity for good. 

5. Aim for quality

You should always be on the lookout for ways to make your work better. Obviously you want to be on time and it’s important that you finish your tasks as soon as possible, but the only way that you can really make your work good is by making sure it’s of a high standard.

It sounds obvious, but if you don’t have things done properly, there’s no point of getting them done at all. 

6. Don’t give up!

Don’t give up! If you are finding it hard to get things done then just keep trying.

You might be going through a difficult work period, but you can always get better at it. 

7. Take breaks

You need to take regular breaks because you’re going to get yourself into a lot of trouble without them. You need to give yourself a break from time to time in order to be able to focus on the task at hand and not let things pile up too much. 

Even if you don’t have any particular tasks that are stressing you out, just taking regular breaks can be enough for some stress relief. 

8. Don’t work overtime

Working overtime is really bad for your health. As long as you get your tasks done properly and on time, there’s no need to keep working all the time. 

Working extra hours isn’t going to do anything for you because it’s not going to lead to anything productive, so just put your foot down when it comes to working overtime.

In the fashion industry, as in many other industries, the past few decades have seen an ongoing shift towards digitalization of production. 

As of today, it is more likely for a company to produce clothes digitally rather than physically. This change has not only helped with speed-to-market but also with reducing costs and increasing product availability. 

However, this shift has caused some major changes in the fashion market that may not be worth everyone’s time or attention.

Here at cleanersj.com/ has some more information about the fashion industry evolved over the past few decades.

The essay discusses how the fashion industry has evolved over past few decades and how it impacts consumers of different generations at different cost levels (with more focus on ‘Generation X’ than any other generation). 

To ensure that all of the reader’s possible interests and perspectives are covered, the essay also includes a detailed analysis of the major trends and changes these generations have witnessed over the past few decades.

Here are some points discussed about the fashion industry evolved over the past few decades-

1. Fashion Industry Over The Years

The Fashion Industry in the 1950s was largely based on designers who would come up with a look, create a sample of it and make it available for sale in stores. This system is known as ‘The Couture Fashion’ system. 

The Couture fashion system is still followed today but has only been scaled down to cater to high budget consumers. 

The structure of the Fashion Industry in the past also saw heavy restrictions upon who could be employed in the industry, what you could design for your job and how your clothing would be priced.

2. Fashion Industry Today

The Fashion Industry’s structure has transformed drastically since the 1950s. Since then, it has shifted away from Couture Fashion to fast fashion. 

Fast fashion is a system whereby an item of clothing is designed, created and produced in large quantities to be sold at cheap prices in stores that are constantly updating their products with new designs. The reasons behind the shift of the industry towards fast fashion include-

Cheaper production costs.  This means manufacturers can produce more products at low costs for wide distribution across markets. This, in turn, means consumers can buy the items cheaper than before.

This means manufacturers can produce more products at low costs for wide distribution across markets. This, in turn, means consumers can buy the items cheaper than before. Lower cost of distribution. 

A product that is promoted widely in the fashion industry means it also gets into the hands of people who are not in the fashion industry – boosting sales. 

As a result, middlemen in the fashion industry are no longer needed to sell products to consumers – allowing manufacturers to be more efficient in delivering their products to end buyers at an affordable price.

3. Major Trends in Fashion Industry

Fashion industry currently has two major trends that are heavily influencing the way it creates, designs and delivers products to consumers. These trends are-

Collaboration between celebrities and brands.  

This is less about designing but more about advertising. Collaboration between celebrities and brands is done by having famous celebrities wear certain clothes, promoting them on social media etc. 

This helps increase brand awareness for the clothing line as well as helping the celebrity gain even more fame from their social media posts alongside other promotional activities they may undertake to support a certain clothing line.

4. Impact on Consumers

Majority of Generation X consumers are affected by the growth of this industry in a number of ways. First, the changes made to the fast fashion industry have seen lower costs per item as well as lower cost to middlemen. 

This has also allowed large companies to adopt technology and build supply chains that allow for increased production and distribution efficiency at a relatively low cost. 

As a result, Generation X consumers can access cheaper clothing than before as well as more fashionable clothes than before. 

5. Companies and Products

There are many companies that manufacture clothing and accessories. Some of these companies include:

Highstreet Apparel: This company is a global leading supplier of custom-made and private label garments and accessories for the world’s best brands. 

These products are sold under 3 main brands; HS Apparel which targets the fastest growing markets in the world, Easton which markets quality fashion sportswear for women and men, and Ashworth Australia which focuses on golf wear for men. 

Highstreet Apparel’s other brands include Alfie Romeo, Auden, Contessa Premium Denim, Eden Atlantic Sportswear, Ezra Arthur Men’s Collection, Lassie London Style House and YMC.

Why are email sign-offs important?

If you want to make the right impression on people, it is important to give them a proper sign-off after an email. This can be done in one of three ways: at the end of the email, with “Sincerely,” or with “Best.”

It is important that your sign off is followed by your name (first and last) and that it’s not written in all caps. 

Clean ERSJ has some more information about why email sign offs are important.

These follow-ups are very simple, but they show courtesy and professionalism. The methods are not only useful in your business emails, but they are also useful in personal ones as well. 

It is very important to close with a thank you, wish them luck with their career or anything else. Your sign-off should be appropriate for the email you are sending.

Here are some points discussed about email sign offs –

1. Effectiveness

By writing sign offs, you are shown respect for your recipient’s time. A sign-off makes an email look more professional in the eyes of your reader. 

Whether you are sending an email to a boss or co-worker, this is something that they will remember. 

Once you greet them with a loving sentiment, next time they will think of you when they receive the same kind of email.

2. Instant recall

After receiving an email with a sign off, people will always have that in their memory bank. They are likely to retain the message sent by you whether it was personal or business related if it has a sign-off at the end. 

They can use that memory to recall you whenever they need something. It is something they will see every day and even then they will still remember.

3. Follow-up skills

Even though this is not related to emailing, people who send emails with their signature at the end are showing courtesy and professionalism. 

They are able to follow up  with clients or others within their organization. 

These people also know which recipients  are most likely to reply back  to them  because of the sign off at the end. This can be great for business because it creates relationships with potential customers or clients, but it’s also beneficial for personal situations as well.

4. Different types of sign-offs

There are some situations where a person wishes to use a specific sign-off. For example, if you are going on vacation and know that you will be gone for a few weeks, you may want to use the sign off “Enjoy your week.” 

If it’s a new year or holiday season, you can use “Happy New Year” or “Merry Christmas.” It is always good to have different variations of signs off so that communication is not always the same.

5. Writing emails with more thought

Signing off at the end of an email shows that the sender feels cherished by someone else. They show that they’re going out of their way to set a good impression. 

If you’re going to communicate with a person, then there is a role that you have to play. Being considerate shows that you are considerate and it’s a good thing. 

You can even show your appreciation at the end of an email by writing something like “Thank you for your help.”

Moreover, if you are writing an email by using third person, then it’s acceptable to write “Regards” or “Best wishes” in the end. It makes an email look more professional than just saying your name in the beginning or middle of the message.

6. Polite communication

In most situations, it’s a good idea to show some courtesy and niceties in communication. These phrases make communication more appropriate for a wide range of readers or audiences. 

You don’t want to be specific because, again, you want to address a wide range of people with different personalities and communication styles. 

Writing personal communication in a friendly tone also allows you more flexibility when it comes to addressing different people in your life. 

7. A summary of the advantages

Sending an email with the traditional “Sincerely,” “Best,” or any other variation is easy, but also it shows that you are thoughtful about your reader. It is useful when you want to follow up or be polite in business or personal situations.  

It can also show your appreciation towards others and it can enhance your email’s effectiveness. When you close your email with a sign off, it shows compassion and consideration for the person reading your message. 

Signing off is not everything, but it can have a big impact on people if they are willing to learn about it. Plain text emails are very simple and they are still effective because writers put that extra effort into writing them clearly.

Did you know that there are several activities that can help in calming your mind?

 If your children or students are experiencing anxiety here Clean ERSJ I recommend sharing these activities with them. Oftentimes, just finding the perfect activity to help calm them down is all it takes.

Open Traits Blog      

The following article is about ways in which people can relieve stress and anxiety.

 If your child or student needs some time to recover it’s important to find something they will enjoy doing so they don’t feel like they need more attention from you.

The first activity is coloring; coloring requires both the right and left hemisphere of the brain to work together as colors need names and numbers to be accurate.

 Since there are no wrong ways to color, this activity allows one’s imagination to roam free which can help reduce stress and increase relaxation. 

Coloring also helps children and students with motor skills; practicing “fine motor” skills such as holding a pencil correctly and using the correct grip to make lines, circles or curves will improve their progress throughout their school years. 

The second activity is unplugging from electronics such as tablets, smartphones, gaming systems and television; just the simple act of unplugging from technology for a few minutes will help bring clarity, motivation and creativity into one’s life.

List of activities that will help in calming :

1. Coloring: 

The right and left brain need to work together to be successful in coloring. Coloring is a good way to bring creativity and imagination into one’s life and it also improves motor skills in children and students.

2. Unplugging: 

Unplugging from technology for a few minutes will help bring clarity, motivation and creativity into one’s life.

3. Listening to relaxing music :

 There are several ways that can help in calming down such as listening to calm music, reading a book or listening to motivational speeches such as Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have A Dream” speech which discusses the importance of the Civil Rights Movement in American History.

4. Praying:

Prayer can help in relieving stress and anxiety. I strongly recommend this for children, students and adults.  It’s important to relax and pray before starting a day.

 It’s best to make time for prayer rather than pray when you need something or are stressed.

5. Meditating: 

Meditation is another way of relaxing; it’s another way of self-healing and self-recovery. 

Meditation helps balance the body and mind by quieting the busy mind and focusing on one thing such as an object, sound or thought that helps finding peace within yourself.

6. Listening to motivational speakers:

Listening to motivational speakers can help in calming nerves and anxiety through their inspirational speeches. 

Here are some of the most famous inspirational speakers that have contributed to the world of Motivational Speaking starting with one of my personal favorites, “The Most Incredible Woman In The World”.

7. Going on a nature walk: 

This will help relax on calm days when your child or student wants some time away from electronics.

 Instead of focusing on something on the computer or television, take them on a nature walk on a quiet day where they can see nature rather than the things they got hooked on.

8. Camping:

Camping is one of the most relaxing things there is; it’s almost like meditation, seeing beautiful views and not having to worry about things like bills or chores can be relaxing. 

Taking your children or students camping will help them clear their mind and relax which can help them become more resilient if they find themselves in situations that create stress and anxiety. 

9. Watching cartoons :

Many children especially enjoy watching cartoons because it allows them to get out of their minds and get away from what stresses them out.

 Cartoon characters are usually happy so getting away from negative news programs, social media or stressful situations can be very helpful.

10. Reading:

Reading is one of the best ways to relax and relieve stress and it’s beneficial to children and students rather than watching television or playing video games.

 Studies show that reading relaxes the mind and relieves stress, anxiety and depression in children and students by focusing on a book which requires much less concentration than when reading something online or on a computer. 

Books take your child or student into their imagination which can help in building their self-confidence since they are the ones imagining what the story is about, not some movie studio that makes movies based off of books.
