Fysisk aktivitet lika bra som KBT eller läkemedel vid depression Med depression avses här egentlig depression med avgränsade episoder som varar minst 2 veckor med tydliga förändringar i tankar (tänker negativt om sig själv, andra människor och om framtiden; i värsta fall självmordstankar), känslor (bedrövelse och missmod), kroppsliga funktioner (sömn, matlust och energinivå) och beteende (tillbakadragenhet och inaktivitet) och med förbättringar av individens tillstånd mellan perioderna. En depression kan graderas som lindrig, måttlig eller allvarlig. Depression är den största enskilda orsaken till förlorade friska levnadsår i västvärlden [1] och är dubbelt så vanlig bland kvinnor som bland män. I Sverige och Norge drabbas 20 procent av befolkningen av depression någon gång under livet, och prevalensen hos vuxna är 4–10 procent [2]. Någon enkel orsak till depression finns inte. Sjukdomsförlopp och prognos Risken för recidiv beräknas till 50 procent efter den första episoden, och risken ökar i takt med antal depressiva episoder [4]. Prevention.
How to Begin Each Day: A Recipe for Unshakable Sanity and Inner Peace from Marcus Aurelius “Take everything that’s bright and beautiful in you and introduce it to the shadow side of yourself,” the wise and wonderful Parker Palmer counseled the young in his superb Naropa Unviersity commencement address. Only by accepting our own interior contradictions and dualities, he argued, are we liberated to put the shadow’s power in service of the good in the exterior world. This seems like a particularly timely message, urgently needed in a culture intolerant of duality, where we hasten to polarize everything into good and bad, unfailingly placing ourselves in the former category and the Other — whether their otherness is manifested in race, gender, orientation, or sports team preference — in the latter. When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly. Meditations, it bears repeating, is a requisite read in its entirety.

Growth mindset vs fixed mindset. Lots of debate going on. If we're asking individuals to develop a growth mindset, what about a 'growth mindset' for a school?

20 Wonderful Effects Exercise Has on the Mind Studies find exercise increases stress resilience, fights anxiety, speeds up the mind, protects against dementia, is more fun than we predict, and more… If everyone got a little exercise, we could put half the doctors in the world out of a job. But it’s not just doctors who’d be out of a job if people could take the stairs every now and then, it’s also psychologists. Here are 20 wonderful psychological effects that exercise has on the mind. 1. Increases stress resilience Studies on mice have shown that exercise reorganises the brain so that it is more resistant to stress (Schoenfeld et al., 2013). It does this by stopping the neurons firing in the regions of the brain thought to be important in the stress response (the ventral hippocampus). This may be part of the reason that exercise… 2. Exercise has a relatively long-lasting protective effect against anxiety (Smith, 2013). Both low and medium intensity exercise has been shown to reduce anxiety. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

Ms. Sepp's Counselor Corner: Teamwork: Cup Stack I stumbled across this idea on Pinterest and thought it would be perfect for my third and fourth graders! I often hear complaints from students that although others "allow" them to play games at recess, they often do not "include" them in the game. For example, in football they are on the team but the ball is never passed to them. I used this as a springboard for discussion on what teamwork really looks like. The Cup Stack is a great activity to facilitate teamwork. The challenge is for the group to build a pyramid out of the paper cups (3 on the bottom, 2 in the middle, 1 on the top - can be adjusted for more cups). Some groups took 2 minutes to accomplish their goal, some 10 minutes, and some never successfully built their tower.
Save Time This Year With 10 Free Tech Tools for High School Teachers Time is at a premium for high school teachers. "I think that a lot of people forget that in middle school and high school we have so many more students than the elementary school teachers have," says Stephanie Richardson, an English teacher at North Harrison High School in Ramsey, Indiana. While an elementary school teacher may teach 25 to 30 students, she says, she is expected to give each of her 150 to 175 students the same amount of attention. "If you think about it, even if you are grading just a regular paper, it takes five minutes for a paper," she says. "Well, if you have 175 of them, that's a lot of time." One thing Richardson can't live without is a notebook she calls her "sanity saver." High school teachers strapped for time can also try using free tech tools that are designed to make their lives easier.

En kalori är en kalori men.... Det finns få saker som jag är så trött på att läsa eller höra som påståendet att ”en kalori inte är en kalori”. Detta är i precis lika intelligent som att säga att 100 kilo inte är 100 kilo eller att 10 kilometer inte är 10 kilometer. En kalori är nämligen ett mått på energi. För att vara mer precis så är en kalori precis den mängden energi som det krävs för att värma en kubikcentimeter vatten från 14,5 grader Celsius till 15,5 grader Celsius under det tryck som vi normalt lever under. Normalt när man pratar om kalorier pratar man dock om kilokalorier och det förkortas kcal. Detta är då givetvis den energi som det krävs för att öka temperaturen på en liter vatten från 14,5 grader till 15,5 grader. Så att säga att ”en kalori inte är en kalori” är tämligen korkat, eller i alla fall väldigt dåligt genomtänkt. En kalori har inte alltid samma effekt som en annan kalori Det är dock inte bara de som försöker sälja något till dig som uttrycker sig felaktigt när det gäller kalorier.
The Famous Wheel Of Emotions Can Determine Who You Are (Quiz) - by Brandilyn Collin Scroll Down to the end of the article for the quiz Randy Ingermanson once said that people read books because they want to have an emotional experience. While that’s certainly true of “Twilight”, I think it holds true for all books. Even books about negative characters can be interesting to us because of their emotional content due to what James Scott Bell calls a “‘car wreck’ dynamic”. Ironically, even though we’ve all experienced many, many emotions throughout our lives, few humans are experts. But where to begin? Many lists of emotions have been generated, yet no matter how much they overlap, they never quite converge. So, how can emotions be classified so that we better understand them, and understanding them better use them in our writings? Joy vs SadnessTrust vs DisgustFear vs AngerSurprise vs Anticipation He also visualized this list as a wheel of sorts, referred to by some as Plutchik’s Flower: Plutchik’s approach satisfies our needs by providing: Loading...
