Huis Dien Bothma celebrates World Health Day
In celebration of World Health Day on April 7, SAVF Huis Dien Bothma social worker Lynn Barrow addressed the staff at the retirement home.
Below is her message:
“On behalf of SAVF, we would like to thank every worker at SAVF Huis Dien Bothma for the role they play in giving quality care to our elderly residents. This is not an easy job, it’s a calling. As we celebrate Health Awareness Day, we would like to encourage each of you to practice self-care. Self-care doesn’t have to cost money.”
Furthermore, she shared a few ideas for the staff to try:
1. Get outside into nature.
2. Take a bubble bath.
3. Turn up the music and dance by yourself.
4. Do some breathing exercises.
5. Read a book.
6. Practise positive self-talk.
7. Watch a movie by yourself.
8. Dress up.
9. Drink plenty of water.
10. Cook a good meal.
“Remember that self-care looks different for each one of us. What matters is that you try something that nourishes your soul and focus on what makes you happy.”
