Management Stressed? Feeling the pinch at work? Wanting to just escape it all? {F}it {Connect}'s relaxation forum has helped anyone that has tried it. Professional advice is given on how to let go of the stress that work and other lifestyle factors has on you; and endeavours to help every member achieve his / her personal goals.  In preparation for World Mental Health Week, {F}it {Connect} is reminding all members to stay active and let those endorphins run!  Celebrated annually, on the 10th of October, World Mental Health Day is a day for global mental health education, awareness, and advocacy. It is an initiative of the World Federation for Mental Heath since 1992, a mental health organization with members spanning across 150 countries including Australia, the United States and Ireland. This year’s theme is “Building Resilience”, that is, and individual’s ability to “bounce back” once they suffer hardship. Although resilience may not stop stressful or anxiety from occurring, it will definitely reduce the impact and time for recovery in our lives. The ten top tips in building resilience are: 1. Have the courage to be imperfect. 2. Take time for yourself. 3. Sign up for that course, join that club, be involved in your community! 4. Be active every day in as many ways as you can. 5. Spend time with people who make you feel good. 6. Laugh out loud each day! 7. Get your Zzzzz’s! 8. It’s all about team work! 9. Remember, this too shall pass. – Be positive! 10. Talk about your troubles! Source: Mental Health Ireland information website.

it's good that {F}it {Connect} acknowledges such an important
day because so many of us have been affected by mental illness
whether by ourselves, family members, friends or work friends.

| Sarah Howie | I recently went to a
trip on the semester break with my friends at Kiama, just down
south a little from NSW, i took some
nice snaps. Put them on your wallpapers just to remind you of
what life really offers. Stay healthy!
