Blog 26. Mindfulness 

As OT's we also have to care for the mental wellbeing of our clients. There are many interventions and methods that focus on mental health. One of those interventions is Mindfulness. 

Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention to the present. This state is described as observing one’s thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad.    In simpler words it is being in the present, being conscious and acknowledging your feelings.  In my internship I also used a lot of different mindfulness exercises on my clients.  I used meditation exercises, breathing exercises, practicing setting boundaries, acknowledge negative thoughts and convert them to good ones.   Other mindfulness practices/hobbies are Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, gardening, being in nature, exercising (walking, running, cycling, swimming, dancing etc.), making art, reading, writing, cooking/baking, decorating.    

Mindfulness can help for the following symptoms: 

Reduction of anxiety 

Better night's sleep 

Increased ability to relax 

Reduction of stress symptoms 

The ability to deal more effectively with long- and short-term stress 

More energy and enthusiasm for life 

Improving self-esteem 

Reduction of depression 

Learn to deal with pain 

Reduction of physical and psychological symptoms 

This year I experienced some mental health problems myself and I discovered that Mindfulness also could help me as a student and professional. I personally really like dancing, making art, decorating and breathing exercises. Recently I have also been interested in Yoga. Mindfulness has helped me to relax more and feel happier. 

I have a few mindfulness exercises for you to do yourself. 

Breathing exercise  Breath slowly in until the air fills your lower stomach and breath slowly out.  Repeat this about 5 times and see what it does with your body and how you feel.   

Body scan  How does your body feel in the here and now.  Focus from head to toe on your body parts and you're breathing.  When you have a complete picture of the state your body is in, you can map out the problems for yourself. Ask yourself where these could be coming from and how you could fix them. Do this for about 10 minutes.   

Guided Meditations on Youtube  You can find a lot of mindfulness meditations and exercises on YouTube and other sites.  For example, this one: A Ten Minute Guided Meditation to Clear Your Mind - YouTube   

I hope you found my article interesting, and I hope you will try mindfulness exercises yourself to see what it does for you as a person and professional. 

Until the next blog, 

Sarah

Lucie van Dam-van Isselt (1873-1949, Bergen op Zoom) wilde met haar schilderen zich focussen op kwaliteit in plaats van kwantiteit. Ze schilderde bloemen en stillevens, voorwerpen uit haar eigen dagelijkse omgeving. Het kleurgebruik was bescheiden. Jef Diederen (1920-2009, Heerlen), zijn kleurgebruik is intens en de vormen doen denken aan herkenbare figuren. De schilderijen doen soms aan…

A wedding day without family.

Today it is my 28th wedding anniversary. I still vividly remember my wedding day. It was the hottest day of the 20th century, at least in the town of Geleen, the Netherlands, where I got married. It was 42 degrees Celsius. Despite the heat it was a beautiful day because both mine and my wife’s family were there to celebrate the day with us. I have often thought about it how the day would have…

Uitgelezen “Het Romeins badhuis in Heerlen” van Karen Jeneson. Het Romeinse badhuis in Heerlen vertelt het verhaal van het badhuis van Heerlen, het best bewaarde Romeinse badhuis in Nederland én het oudste stenen gebouw van Nederland. Tegen de achtergrond van de woelige geschiedenis van Nederland in de Romeinse tijd, toont dit boek de ontstaansgeschiedenis en werking van het badhuis van Coriovallum, dat tot op de dag van vandaag bewonderd kan worden in het Thermenmuseum te Heerlen. De kleurrijke en afwisselende vondsten die het blootgelegde badhuis vergezellen, bieden jong en oud een inkijk in een bloeiende stad in Romeins-Nederland. #heerlen #thermenmuseum #romeinen #badhuis #archeologie #karenjeneson #leestip https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGVnBUIwnd__nB9WBz7TMkLvSKc_9glYIIccE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blog 22 MediReva day 

Hello everyone, 

Today I (Sarah) like to tell you about a Healthcare Technology Day organised by MediReva.  MediReva is a medical specialty store, which supplies medical devices and care materials for diabetes, wounds, stoma, incontinence, nutrition and rehabilitation care.  MediReva was founded in 1979 by the couple Pierre and Tineke Gubbels, with the ambition to make the lives of (chronically) ill people more pleasant.  They where a small company in the south of the Netherlands and now they are a well known company.    The MediReva day is a day for the different health care professionals that use the services of MediReva and the advicers. On the day their where different guest speakers that provided new information about important subjects. Than there were also different companies that presented there (new) health care technologies.  You could test out the different products and ask questions.   

Van Raam is a company that makes unique adapted bicycles for people with disabilities.  The different bicycles are tricycles, mobility scooter bicycles, wheelchair bicycles, tandems, side-by-side tandems, wheelchair transport bicycles and low entry bicycles or comfort bicycles.   

Invacare is a company that makes different wheelchairs with or without elektric auxiliary driving.  You could test out all these wheelchairs and get information about the different options.   

There was also a companies that had different Anti-decubitus cushions that help to prevent sores.  One cushion is called the ROHO and it has different cells that get filled with air by a hand pump.  Another is called Vicair and is filled with tiny triangles filled with air.   

It was fun and interesting to test all the products and learn more about how they work.  With the information I got I can help my future clients. 

I hope you found my story of the Medireva day interesting.   

Till next time! 

Sarah
