How Emotional Wellness Can Affect Your Heart
"Let’s talk about something we often overlook: the connection between mental health and our hearts. They actually influence each other in ways we’re only just starting to understand. It turns out the connection between the heart and the mind is a two-way street. When we’re stressed or anxious, it can mess with our heart and increase the chance of heart disease. On the other hand, a healthy heart contributes to a healthy brain and emotional well-being. Stress, often termed the 'silent killer,' can actually increase our chances of heart disease. Long-term exposure to stress hormones causes damage to the heart by raising blood pressure, increasing our heart rate and causing inflammation. Long-term stress also takes a toll on our overall mental health, leading to anxiety and depression."

Grace Your Space features works created by artisans. It helps us implement the African principle, KUUMBA. It means we always do as much as we can to leave our community more beautiful than we inherited it. Why not start in your home? A visually appealing room can improve your mood.
If you want to exercise your mind, learn and practice new words in English, Swahili, Spanish, and French. Your increased knowledge could improve communications with old and new friends.
"Wherever you go, go with all your heart (Confucius)."
" Popote uendapo, nenda kwa moyo wako wote."
"Donde quiera que vayas, ve con todo tu crazoón."
"Où que tu ailles, vas-y de tout ton cœur."
These basic translations are taken from Google Translate.
The best way to enhance wellness is to build upon your knowledge. We believe learning means we're truly living our best lives. Why not embrace the African principle of KUJICHAGULIA? It means self-determination and that we define and name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
According to Experts ...
"If you're looking to grow your savings in 2024, it can be hard to know where to begin. Many people feel like they can't "afford" to save after paying their bills, or don't know how to save money efficiently.
Based on research in behavioral economics and expert advice from investors and financial advisors, we've compiled a few expert-recommended strategies to grow your savings (FULL STORY)."
"Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that results in problems with behaviour and communication. This disorder can be identified in children ages 2 to 3. A child who has ASD, i.e., an autistic child, struggles to understand what other people think and feel. It becomes difficult for the child to express through gestures, words or other means, unlike others.
Autism Definition
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects the learning skills of children, and their skills might develop unevenly (FULL STORY)."
"Reaching middle age — which often coincides with the midpoint of your career — can be a moment when your achievements, ambitions, and reality collide. Wrestling with feelings of unmet expectations is common; realizing that many of your early dreams and aspirations might not happen — like ever — is sobering.
But experts say this period also offers a profound opportunity for growth. It’s a chance to reevaluate your priorities, draw from your experiences, and carve out a path that aligns with your goals for the future (FULL STORY)."

The dictionary says: Stress is "a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation (Merriam-Webster)." If we collectively work as a team, we can reduce our stress. UJIMA (an African principle) says we build and maintain our community together and make our community’s problems our problems and then solve them together.
"Many people see stress as being inherently bad. It's not that simple though, since stress is a natural - and very valuable - reaction of the body.
When we perceive a situation as threatening, our body goes on high alert. "The response is triggered in the brain," says Dr Ralf Suhr, chairman of the Berlin-based Health Literacy Foundation, a non-profit group aimed at enabling people to make informed health decisions. Chemical messengers called stress hormones - for example noradrenaline, adrenaline and cortisol - are released into the bloodstream (FULL STORY)."
"By the time Teresa Langford started basic training in the Army at age 18, she knew that whatever rough spots she’d faced in her life had been good for her, or at least tolerable.
The proof came with her outdoing most of her troop on conditioning drills while taking the heat from the men who resented her outperforming them. Basic training tries to take you to your limit and then break you. Not Teresa. She knew coming in she had what it takes to make it. She would later serve two tours on active duty, rising to an ammunitions ordnance corporal (FULL STORY)."
"In a time when more than 76% of Americans report that stress is affecting their wellbeing, wouldn’t it be nice if we could learn to put our stressors aside from time to time, at least temporarily? I’m not talking about meditating or simply calming down, the latter of which isn’t even possible sometimes, given the world we live in now. I’m talking about changing our thinking and breaking the stress cycle, which is possible (FULL STORY)."
Our goal is to learn how to minimize stress for you and the community. It's important to achieve a healthy balance between personal and work life.
