Good mental health comes with the peaceful vegan diet and quiet immersion in the healing power of Nature. And I have another useful tip for you. Studies have shown that social media use is associated with poorer mental well-being, higher anxiety, decreased sleep, later bedtimes, low academic performance, and increased substance use. Therefore, families should encourage adolescents to be responsible and only use social media moderately. Help them form healthy screen routines by setting boundaries so it doesn’t affect their sleep, school, or extracurricular schedule and offline interactions. Families can further support adolescents by having open conversations about online risks, habits, or pressures and work with schools and communities to reinforce age-appropriate digital-well-being education.
It’s time to kick back, relax, and enjoy a hearty laugh with today’s joke, it’s titled… “Unneeded Assistance.”
Officer Riley, a seasoned correctional officer, escorted inmate Marcus to the local hospital for routine bloodwork. She’d been trained in de-escalation, tactical restraint, and martial arts. However, she had not been trained for needles. So, she fainted as the needle was inserted into the inmate’s arm. She was out for only a second, but it was long enough for the inmate to become concerned about her well-being.
“Whoa! You OK, Officer? Listen... if you take these cuffs off me, I can drive us back to the prison.”
?!
