Email: [email protected] We are all in this together Volume 1 5 TIPS TO MAINTAIN MOTIVATION DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC As social distancing and Stay Safe MN orders are continuing, the changing reality of this pandemic can make focusing on our goals extremely difficult for some, but it also makes it clear that we may be in this “new normal” for the long haul. For most of us, the responsibilities of day-to-day life continue, and we are trying to stay on track as best as we can. Below are some simple tips for staying motivated during this time. 1. Set small daily goals.It is important to recognize that these aren’t normal times, and your productivity is likely not at its peak right now. That’s okay. Setting daily goals can help you to make your day as productive as possible, but be realistic with the goals you set. 2. Carve out time in your day for relaxation. Scheduling time to relax before or after work can help you to manage a healthy work-life balance. Since we dedicate a chunk of our day to work, try keep your work out of your relaxation time. 3. Schedule virtual get-togethers with friends. Social distancing can be the hardest aspect of this pandemic for many people. Not getting to spend time with friends can be emotionally taxing. However, social distancing does not mean you have to totally say goodbye to a social life. Schedule virtual get-togethers with your friends, and have them often! The promise of a set time and date to get together can be something to look forward to. 4. Prioritize your mental health. Staying motivated can be near impossible when your mind is filled with anxieties. No work technique is going to keep you motivated when stress is unmanageable, and there is a lot to be stressed about right now. Taking care of yourself can help you to better manage your mental health during this time, so make sure you aren’t letting the basics fall through the cracks. Take time to eat balanced meals, maintain a normal sleep schedule, allow yourself time to enjoy TV and social media, but try to reduce how much time you spend reading pandemic news. 5. Be okay with not being highly productive right now. Some days you may not have much ability to focus at all, and that’s to be expected! Nobody’s life is normal right now. You may find that you have good days where you’re highly motivated to get through work and bad days where your motivation is nowhere to be found. It’s okay to expect less from yourself right now. As this new normal sets in, everybody is learning how to best adjust. Though this pandemic can feel like it will be endless, it will eventually pass. Staying motivated can help refocus our attention away from these stressful changes and towards a more hopeful future. CONTEST - ONE MORE WEEK!!!

  • Inattentive ADD: Just Like Winnie the Pooh
    The 6 types of ADD according to Dr. Amen Tiggers Like to Bounce... Bouncin' is What Tiggers Do Best! We call this type of ADHD "Tigger Type." Classic ADHD is characterized by Inattention, Impulsivity, Hyperactivity, Restlessness, and Disorganization. This type of ADHD reminds us of Tigger from the Winnie the Pooh stories. Dr. Daniel Amen refers to this type of ADHD as "Classic ADHD" for good reasons. When you think about someone who has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, this is the classic picture that you think of. Those with this type of ADHD are often seen as: • Being easily distracted • Has a LOT of energy, and is perhaps Hyperactive • Can't sit still very long • Is figety Talks a LOT, and can be LOUD • Is very impulsive, does not think before he acts • Has trouble waiting his turn in line, or in games and more... Tigger Type ADHD results from UNDERACTIVITY in the Prefrontal Cortex, both when at rest, and when performing concentration tasks. This type of ADHD is most often seen in males. Inattentive ADD: Just Like Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh is the classic picture of Inattentive ADHD. In other works we have called this "Space Cadet" style ADHD. Dr. Daniel Amen refers to this as "Inattentive ADD". These are people that suffer from "brain fog" as they go through their day. Although Pooh is very lovable and kind, he is also inattentive, sluggish, slow-moving, unmotivated. He is a classic daydreamer. People with this type of ADHD are often seen as being: • Easily distracted • Having short attention spans to a task that is not interesting, or is hard • Daydreams when others are talking to him/her • A person who cannot find anything that they have just put down somewhere..

Milne. The original play was written by Bettye Knapp. Western Canada Theatre’s production of The House at Pooh Corner has been adapted by Kim Selody. 1 A.A. Milne and Winnie the Pooh Alan Alexander Milne (1882 – 1956) began his writing career after graduating from Cambridge University. After serving in World War I, he worked for many years as the assistant editor of the British humour magazine Punch. A successful playwright, his plays were produced in London and New York. In 1920, his wife Daphne gave birth to a son, Christopher Robin Milne. A.A. Milne’s career as a children’s author began with the publication of a collection of verses entitled When We Were Very Young, illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Christopher Robin’s favourite toy was an 18 inch-high stuffed bear purchased at Harrod’s Department store for his first birthday. Named “Edward Bear” at first, the bear was renamed “Winnie” after a black bear in the London Zoo. As a young child, Christopher Robin had quite a friendship with the bear, and visited regularly to play games and give Winnie a special treat: condensed milk.
