Mental well-being

Dr. Harshita Sharma, Founder Director, Brainstorm International, Emphasizes on Importance of Mental Health

“We know that if students are happy, if the teachers are happy, your school will be happy” said Dr. Harshita Sharma, Founder Director, Brainstorm International at ArdorComm New Normal- Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023” held in Pune, Maharashtra on 24th November 2023. How do you cope up with the busy schedule of yours and take care of your physical and mental well-being? So it’s all about that when you talk about balance and we say that we can balance both personal and professional life, it is not easy so it’s what you need to take care of it is your emotional well-being first and if that is taken care of I think you can manage all the things. So, as a lot of work for your inner self I would say will be emotional will be keeping yourself come and recharging your day with the beginning which is very important with the gratitude and a lot of self-inner work which helps and I think that is important for each and every one and that gives a day ahead head start and that’s where my day begins and a lot of reflection by the end of the day which is very important every single day and once you have that reflection and how can I about that part the next day which is very important and always surrounded by positive people creating that positive energy which is very very important. Can you highlight a little bit about Brainstorm International? Brainstorm International has been empowering teachers by transforming schools, by training through training and the maintain which is there so we know that the teachers are the important stakeholders and the emotional will of teachers is very important we do have literacy lessons that we have for the teachers but apart from that we also have  the emotional lessons for the teachers. So, we  combine both the things with the balanced approach with mindful classroom management strategies and how we can raise the standard of literacy in line with NCF which is taken care of so that we can build a strong foundation, literacy skills and also raise the resilient confident communicators which is very important because we know that if students are happy, if the teachers are happy, your school will be happy and that’s where we need to bring in that channel because along with the Academy part in the emotional will be combined.

Eco-friendly Living for Better Health: How Sustainable Choices Improve Well-Being

Article

In today’s world, the connection between our environment and our health has never been clearer. The choices we make in our daily lives, from the food we eat to the products we use and how we travel, have a profound impact not only on the planet but also on our personal well-being. Eco-friendly living is not just a trend; it’s a path to better health, both for ourselves and the Earth. In this article, we will explore how adopting eco-friendly practices can lead to improved health outcomes and a more sustainable future. Clean Air, Better Breathing One of the most immediate benefits of eco-friendly living is cleaner air. By reducing our carbon footprint, we help decrease air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Clean air is essential for respiratory health, as poor air quality can exacerbate conditions like asthma and allergies. Embracing sustainable transportation options like cycling, walking, or using electric vehicles can reduce exposure to harmful pollutants, resulting in better lung function and overall well-being. Nutrient-Rich, Sustainable Diets Eco-friendly living often goes hand in hand with sustainable eating habits. Choosing locally sourced, organic, and plant-based foods not only reduces the environmental impact of agriculture but also promotes better nutrition. Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are associated with lower rates of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, while also reducing the demand for resource-intensive meat production. Reducing Toxic Exposure Many conventional household and personal care products contain harmful chemicals that can be absorbed through our skin or inhaled. Eco-friendly alternatives are often free from toxic ingredients like phthalates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. By making the switch to natural and eco-friendly products, we can reduce our exposure to potentially harmful substances, supporting healthier skin and reducing the risk of adverse health effects. Enhancing Mental Well-Being Spending time in nature has a profound impact on our mental health. Eco-friendly living encourages outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping, and gardening, which can reduce stress, improve mood, and increase overall mental well-being. The practice of ecotherapy, or nature-based therapy, has gained recognition for its positive effects on mental health. Sustainable Exercise and Recreation Physical activity is crucial for good health, and eco-friendly living often promotes active transportation and recreational activities in natural settings. Biking, hiking, and outdoor sports are not only enjoyable but also help maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and improve cardiovascular fitness. Reducing Plastic Pollution Plastic pollution is a significant environmental concern, but it also has implications for human health. Plastics can release harmful chemicals into the environment and enter the food chain, potentially affecting human health. Eco-friendly living includes reducing plastic consumption, opting for reusable alternatives, and supporting policies to mitigate plastic pollution’s health impacts. Building Sustainable Communities Eco-friendly living extends beyond individual choices to community-level initiatives. Sustainable urban planning, green spaces, and public transportation systems contribute to healthier communities. Walkable neighbourhoods encourage physical activity, reduce traffic-related pollution, and foster a sense of community well-being. Conclusion Eco-friendly living is not just about saving the planet; it’s also about improving our own health and well-being. By making conscious choices that prioritize sustainability, we can breathe cleaner air, eat healthier foods, reduce toxic exposures, and enjoy the mental and physical benefits of a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. As individuals and communities, we have the power to create a healthier, more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations. Embracing eco-friendly living is a positive step in that direction. The author, Pratik Ghosh is associated with ArdorComm Media
