What self-care activity will you do this weekend?
It’s so easy to get caught up in life’s chores, so this weekend I’m encouraging you to take a portion of your day to look after yourself and do something that you enjoy. This could be as easy as putting on make up, going for a walk, dancing to your favourite song or reading a book.
By doing this, you’ll help to improve your energy, happiness and concentration amongst other great benefits.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

Are you motivated?
We can all struggle with finding motivation to do things, whether it’s finishing off that DIY project, or staying focused to your goals to achieve a milestone.
Maintaining your motivation can be easy. Try to have a vision board of what you would like to achieve in a period of time. Or you may choose to have a list instead and tick off boxes once a task is complete.
At the end of each task, assign yourself a mini reward, that way you’ll associate completing a task with a positive behaviour making you more motivated.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

Inspiring the future 👊
I have been in a fortunate position to be able to educate and inspire the doctors of tomorrow a number of times in my career so far. As a student myself once, I valued hearing about the experience of others, as often more could be learned from this than books.
What piece of advice would you give to others knowing what you know now?
Take care and stay healthy 😘

How’s your bone bank looking? 🦴🏦
Over 1 million Australians suffer from Osteoporosis, a condition where bones become brittle and weak and are more likely to fracture. This can be prevented by exercise and ensuring a good intake of calcium and vitamin D.
Exercising regularly can help achieve greater peak bone mass than those who don’t. For most people, bone mass peaks in the third decade of life, after that time we can begin to loose bone.
The best exercises to help gain bone mass are weight bearing and resistance exercises. These include walking, jogging, climbing stairs, dancing and lifting weights. It is recommended to aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week.
So if you imagine your bones as a bank, the more regular exercise you put in the less risk of osteoporosis you’ll have in the future.
