Every year on the second Sunday in May many families wake up early to surprise their mums and families with breakfast in bed for Motherrsquos Day This year unfortunately the All Age Menrsquos team from Mulgoa Valley FC were up early for their 9am soccer match against Pitt Town SC at Gow Park

To commemorate this special day the team arranged to wear pink socks for the match to say thanks to all the women in their lives putting up with early morning games on a Sunday and raise some money for charity

The match was won 5-3 by home team Mulgoa and $100 was raised and donated to the McGrath Foundation The boys have more fundraising planned for next year and are hoping to make this an annual event for the club The day would not have been possible without the support of Ed Crowther (Mulgoa Valley FC) and Linda Cerone (Nepean Football Association) and of course all of the Mulgoa Valley All Age Menrsquos team and their families

What Do You See When You Look At Your Children

Many of you who read this column have had children and raised them Not everyone has but many of you have Many of you are grandparents or great grandparents And even if you donrsquot have your own kids and even if you donrsquot like kids you cannot easily get away from them

There are hundreds of children in our local schools They are obvious in our streets before and after school and on weekends You have nephews and nieces or the children of friends It is part of being human to have the young around you

What do you see when you look at your own children Of course there is the relentless demand of looking after their needs You never stop being a parent even when theyrsquove grown up Their infant cry empty tummy and open mouth is soon replaced by their demand for space and freedom as they move into young adulthood Their outstretched wings are also accompanied by an outstretched hand The expenses donrsquot stop And as their problems multiply with age and stage so do yours because they always remain your kids

Children are costly in terms of time and money but so are all the precious and valuable things in our lives As they change and grow and test our boundaries we parents are stretched and challenged and have to say back to them lsquoYou know Irsquom new at this too Irsquom learning as I go and I am trying to do right by you Please be patient with me and I will try to be with yoursquo

When our young are genetically our children we see our own likenesses in them I see a bit of me and a bit of my wife all beautifully mixed together in a whole new human package Each child is an individual embodiment of the love of his or her father and mother towards each other captured in time and space in a whole new human being Children are or should be love vivified and incarnated They are or should be the overflow of human love in marriage Children are or should be human love expressed and given a life and soul and will of its very own They are a man and a womanrsquos mutual love given a brain a heart two arms and two legs Psalm 127 describes them as arrows in the hands of their parents which we shoot off into Godrsquos world to work it and rule it They are given the mandate to fill the earth and subdue it and rule over Godrsquos good creation in Godrsquos image (Genesis 128-29)

Our common wealth and prosperity shows that humans are actually pretty good at ruling this world because we are made for it Most of our common wealth we have received from our predecessors as an inheritance We add a little bit to it or waste it during our short lives We cannot take it with us when death comes We pass on to our children our efforts to rule the world in our generation for good or ill This is our childrenrsquos inheritance Our children I hope will have dams and houses and roads and schools and power stations that they did not build or pay for just as we enjoy them now Unfortunately our failures short-sightedness and sin individually or as a community are also part of that legacy we bequeath to them They will have our asbestos and pollution and national debt to clean up and pay for Nor do we know what else they will have to deal with once wersquove shuffled off this mortal coil

Children are not simply the outcome of a mutual agreement to reproduce They do not complete us as parents or make us more human They are not an accessory They are not a way of getting social security payments or a means of social acceptance They are not just units of production cheap

labour or free baby sitters They are not just lsquoidle eatersrsquo nor future economic units nor simply tomorrows taxpayers who will support our ageing population They are not part of the overpopulation problem They are not merely the ones who choose our nursing homes and will inherit our stuff They are not our right but they are a gift They are not my property but they are my true wealth They are never an accident certainly not from Godrsquos point of view but are welcome members and co-sharers with us of Godrsquos world

To have a child is an act of hope It is an act of defiance against the suffering and death experienced in our world The birth of a child says that despite even the death that will come and take my child (unless Jesus comes back first) human life is right and good and matters Jesus Christrsquos resurrection gives us even more reason to act in defiance of suffering and death by having children It says that death is not the end but each of our children has an immortal soul Each of our children will rise from the dead even the ones who were miscarried or died in the womb or were stillborn or tragically aborted These ones we leave in the hands of their maker who said lsquoLet the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as thesersquo But the ones God gives us for a short time with them we seek to share with them the good things we have been given including our knowledge of God lsquoOne generation will declare Your works to the next and will proclaim Your mighty actsrsquo (Psalm 1454)

Pastors CornerAs we move into June half the year has almost gone Do you

wonder what you have accomplished in those six months Take some time to stock take to consider what you have done where have you applied your energy and talents to Have you been able to help others Who have you selflessly loved What difference in other people lives have you made Sometimes we find ourselves just going through the motions of everyday life work studies houses family friends interest groups all bring responsibilities Is that what life is about

How do you focus on the needs of others when you also have needs Jesus speaks of this He says ldquoFor I was hungry and you gave me something to eat I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink I was a stranger and you invited me in I needed clothes and you clothed me I was sick and you looked after me I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew 2535-36)

For me these words are challenging how should I respond Are there people in our community that are hungry or thirsty Is it safe to engage with strangers My wardrobe is full of clothes that perhaps I will grow (shrink) back into would it be better to give them to people who need clothes How can I help others who are sick lonely or ageing How could I visit those who are imprisoned

All of those needs exist in our communities so how can we help Each of must answer that question but there is something special about giving to others somehow you seem to receive more than you gave away I donrsquot mean so much physically it is more about how you feel about yourself

In this area I pray that you too may know the God that loves you and through a personal faith in Jesus learn to have His heart for people and in doing so through practical ways contribute to the lives of others

lsquoResiliencersquo Is A Bit Of A Buzz Word These Days

We all want our kids to do well and to be well One of the things that determines social and emotional wellbeing is ldquoresiliencerdquo Resilience is defi ned as the ability of an individual to access resources to prevent minimise or overcome hardship

The problem I think we have when talking about resilience is that we treat it as something separate to our parenting and teaching We treat it as something separate that our children must learn like they learn maths or the rules of whichever sport they choose to play It is treated as something that we do to or for our children

But really resilience is learnt within environments through children feeling heard and feeling that they belong Children learn coping skills in relationship with parents and teachers They learn about feelings and how to manage them from birth in relationship with us The most optimal environment is a positive one in which parents and teachers regard themselves as guides and educators

There is no point learning how to apply resilience in environments that are harsh punitive or unyielding and having caregivers that shame children on a regular basis Itrsquos like applying a band aid to a gaping wound For this reason I think that parenting programmes like Circle of Security and Triple P are better programmes for promoting resilience in our children that any resilience programme available for children

There has been a steady decline of resilience and mental health in young people over the past 3 decades What I am increasingly fi nding in my work with children is that they feel they cannot bring their struggles and problems to their parents The message from parents to their children resoundingly is ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo ldquostop being a drama queenwusssookrdquo ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquoman uprdquo Up to 90 of the children I work with feel they cannot talk to their parents or when they do they are dismissed rescued punished or ignored The majority of Year 6 children I speak with young people heading into high school and adolescence feel their parents donrsquot listen to them No wonder 1 in 4 of our young people will go on to develop clinical depression In this lsquoluckyrsquo country Too sad

As an Aboriginal woman said to me many years ago ldquoyou canrsquot be a strong tree if you donrsquot have strong rootsrdquo So how do our children grow strong roots Australian psychologist Andrew Fuller cites the research and advises that those children who are most resilient have been found to have three factors in their life (httpsvimeocom43821184)

1 Feeling love connection and belonging within their family

2 Having a few friendship groups so that if they fall out with one group they can align themselves with another group

3 Having an adult outside the family that likes themParenting is the most important factor in childrenrsquos resilience

Children grow up in the context of family I would like to see the resilience debate going forward as placing an emphasis on parents to learn positive parenting skills and providing an environment in which our children grow their resilience skills rather than placing the onus on children to bear the responsibility for learning resilience skills How are you creating an environment in which your children can grow strong roots

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Jessica Continues To ShineSilverdale resident Jessica

Turner recently returned from the United Kingdom with some exciting and inspiring news Earlier this year Jessica completed a research fellowship for communication research company PRIME Research in Oxford in the United Kingdom Her brief research fellowship in the UK greatly impressed PRIME Research and they have off ered Jessica a permanent position there as a Junior Project Manager in the Automotive team

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

The District Gazette would like to wish Jessica all the very best of luck on her new life in the UK and hope she continues to achieve her goals

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

REVOLUTIONSGYMCOMAU | INFOREVOLUTIONSGYMCOMAU

Every year on the second Sunday in May many families wake up early to surprise their mums and families with breakfast in bed for Motherrsquos Day This year unfortunately the All Age Menrsquos team from Mulgoa Valley FC were up early for their 9am soccer match against Pitt Town SC at Gow Park

To commemorate this special day the team arranged to wear pink socks for the match to say thanks to all the women in their lives putting up with early morning games on a Sunday and raise some money for charity

The match was won 5-3 by home team Mulgoa and $100 was raised and donated to the McGrath Foundation The boys have more fundraising planned for next year and are hoping to make this an annual event for the club The day would not have been possible without the support of Ed Crowther (Mulgoa Valley FC) and Linda Cerone (Nepean Football Association) and of course all of the Mulgoa Valley All Age Menrsquos team and their families

What Do You See When You Look At Your Children

Many of you who read this column have had children and raised them Not everyone has but many of you have Many of you are grandparents or great grandparents And even if you donrsquot have your own kids and even if you donrsquot like kids you cannot easily get away from them

There are hundreds of children in our local schools They are obvious in our streets before and after school and on weekends You have nephews and nieces or the children of friends It is part of being human to have the young around you

What do you see when you look at your own children Of course there is the relentless demand of looking after their needs You never stop being a parent even when theyrsquove grown up Their infant cry empty tummy and open mouth is soon replaced by their demand for space and freedom as they move into young adulthood Their outstretched wings are also accompanied by an outstretched hand The expenses donrsquot stop And as their problems multiply with age and stage so do yours because they always remain your kids

Children are costly in terms of time and money but so are all the precious and valuable things in our lives As they change and grow and test our boundaries we parents are stretched and challenged and have to say back to them lsquoYou know Irsquom new at this too Irsquom learning as I go and I am trying to do right by you Please be patient with me and I will try to be with yoursquo

When our young are genetically our children we see our own likenesses in them I see a bit of me and a bit of my wife all beautifully mixed together in a whole new human package Each child is an individual embodiment of the love of his or her father and mother towards each other captured in time and space in a whole new human being Children are or should be love vivified and incarnated They are or should be the overflow of human love in marriage Children are or should be human love expressed and given a life and soul and will of its very own They are a man and a womanrsquos mutual love given a brain a heart two arms and two legs Psalm 127 describes them as arrows in the hands of their parents which we shoot off into Godrsquos world to work it and rule it They are given the mandate to fill the earth and subdue it and rule over Godrsquos good creation in Godrsquos image (Genesis 128-29)

Our common wealth and prosperity shows that humans are actually pretty good at ruling this world because we are made for it Most of our common wealth we have received from our predecessors as an inheritance We add a little bit to it or waste it during our short lives We cannot take it with us when death comes We pass on to our children our efforts to rule the world in our generation for good or ill This is our childrenrsquos inheritance Our children I hope will have dams and houses and roads and schools and power stations that they did not build or pay for just as we enjoy them now Unfortunately our failures short-sightedness and sin individually or as a community are also part of that legacy we bequeath to them They will have our asbestos and pollution and national debt to clean up and pay for Nor do we know what else they will have to deal with once wersquove shuffled off this mortal coil

Children are not simply the outcome of a mutual agreement to reproduce They do not complete us as parents or make us more human They are not an accessory They are not a way of getting social security payments or a means of social acceptance They are not just units of production cheap

labour or free baby sitters They are not just lsquoidle eatersrsquo nor future economic units nor simply tomorrows taxpayers who will support our ageing population They are not part of the overpopulation problem They are not merely the ones who choose our nursing homes and will inherit our stuff They are not our right but they are a gift They are not my property but they are my true wealth They are never an accident certainly not from Godrsquos point of view but are welcome members and co-sharers with us of Godrsquos world

To have a child is an act of hope It is an act of defiance against the suffering and death experienced in our world The birth of a child says that despite even the death that will come and take my child (unless Jesus comes back first) human life is right and good and matters Jesus Christrsquos resurrection gives us even more reason to act in defiance of suffering and death by having children It says that death is not the end but each of our children has an immortal soul Each of our children will rise from the dead even the ones who were miscarried or died in the womb or were stillborn or tragically aborted These ones we leave in the hands of their maker who said lsquoLet the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as thesersquo But the ones God gives us for a short time with them we seek to share with them the good things we have been given including our knowledge of God lsquoOne generation will declare Your works to the next and will proclaim Your mighty actsrsquo (Psalm 1454)

The Menrsquos Shed UpdateWhilst we celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Anzac Day

Last month I made mention of the number of sheds in NSW - This has jumped now to 306 - I didnt know that there were that many towns in the State So this should show all you fellows out there how much these Sheds are warranted and what a great work they do in bringing blokes of all ages together for several hours each week

Pastors CornerAs we move into June half the year has almost gone Do you

wonder what you have accomplished in those six months Take some time to stock take to consider what you have done where have you applied your energy and talents to Have you been able to help others Who have you selflessly loved What difference in other people lives have you made Sometimes we find ourselves just going through the motions of everyday life work studies houses family friends interest groups all bring responsibilities Is that what life is about

How do you focus on the needs of others when you also have needs Jesus speaks of this He says ldquoFor I was hungry and you gave me something to eat I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink I was a stranger and you invited me in I needed clothes and you clothed me I was sick and you looked after me I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew 2535-36)

For me these words are challenging how should I respond Are there people in our community that are hungry or thirsty Is it safe to engage with strangers My wardrobe is full of clothes that perhaps I will grow (shrink) back into would it be better to give them to people who need clothes How can I help others who are sick lonely or ageing How could I visit those who are imprisoned

All of those needs exist in our communities so how can we help Each of must answer that question but there is something special about giving to others somehow you seem to receive more than you gave away I donrsquot mean so much physically it is more about how you feel about yourself

In this area I pray that you too may know the God that loves you and through a personal faith in Jesus learn to have His heart for people and in doing so through practical ways contribute to the lives of others

lsquoResiliencersquo Is A Bit Of A Buzz Word These Days

We all want our kids to do well and to be well One of the things that determines social and emotional wellbeing is ldquoresiliencerdquo Resilience is defi ned as the ability of an individual to access resources to prevent minimise or overcome hardship

The problem I think we have when talking about resilience is that we treat it as something separate to our parenting and teaching We treat it as something separate that our children must learn like they learn maths or the rules of whichever sport they choose to play It is treated as something that we do to or for our children

But really resilience is learnt within environments through children feeling heard and feeling that they belong Children learn coping skills in relationship with parents and teachers They learn about feelings and how to manage them from birth in relationship with us The most optimal environment is a positive one in which parents and teachers regard themselves as guides and educators

There is no point learning how to apply resilience in environments that are harsh punitive or unyielding and having caregivers that shame children on a regular basis Itrsquos like applying a band aid to a gaping wound For this reason I think that parenting programmes like Circle of Security and Triple P are better programmes for promoting resilience in our children that any resilience programme available for children

There has been a steady decline of resilience and mental health in young people over the past 3 decades What I am increasingly fi nding in my work with children is that they feel they cannot bring their struggles and problems to their parents The message from parents to their children resoundingly is ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo ldquostop being a drama queenwusssookrdquo ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquoman uprdquo Up to 90 of the children I work with feel they cannot talk to their parents or when they do they are dismissed rescued punished or ignored The majority of Year 6 children I speak with young people heading into high school and adolescence feel their parents donrsquot listen to them No wonder 1 in 4 of our young people will go on to develop clinical depression In this lsquoluckyrsquo country Too sad

As an Aboriginal woman said to me many years ago ldquoyou canrsquot be a strong tree if you donrsquot have strong rootsrdquo So how do our children grow strong roots Australian psychologist Andrew Fuller cites the research and advises that those children who are most resilient have been found to have three factors in their life (httpsvimeocom43821184)

1 Feeling love connection and belonging within their family

2 Having a few friendship groups so that if they fall out with one group they can align themselves with another group

3 Having an adult outside the family that likes themParenting is the most important factor in childrenrsquos resilience

Children grow up in the context of family I would like to see the resilience debate going forward as placing an emphasis on parents to learn positive parenting skills and providing an environment in which our children grow their resilience skills rather than placing the onus on children to bear the responsibility for learning resilience skills How are you creating an environment in which your children can grow strong roots

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Current members of local craft groups carry on the handcrafting heritage with their handcrafting skills Each month this column will try to feature the work of a local group

One group where the handcrafting heritage continues meets in the Hobby Hut rooms in the old cottage behind the Catholic Church in Warragamba

Each Friday morning between 10am and noon members host a crafting morning tea at the rooms The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to join inhellipthe area is also well-fenced child and dog friendly

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

REVOLUTIONSGYMCOMAU | INFOREVOLUTIONSGYMCOMAU

Every year on the second Sunday in May many families wake up early to surprise their mums and families with breakfast in bed for Motherrsquos Day This year unfortunately the All Age Menrsquos team from Mulgoa Valley FC were up early for their 9am soccer match against Pitt Town SC at Gow Park

To commemorate this special day the team arranged to wear pink socks for the match to say thanks to all the women in their lives putting up with early morning games on a Sunday and raise some money for charity

The match was won 5-3 by home team Mulgoa and $100 was raised and donated to the McGrath Foundation The boys have more fundraising planned for next year and are hoping to make this an annual event for the club The day would not have been possible without the support of Ed Crowther (Mulgoa Valley FC) and Linda Cerone (Nepean Football Association) and of course all of the Mulgoa Valley All Age Menrsquos team and their families

What Do You See When You Look At Your Children

Many of you who read this column have had children and raised them Not everyone has but many of you have Many of you are grandparents or great grandparents And even if you donrsquot have your own kids and even if you donrsquot like kids you cannot easily get away from them

There are hundreds of children in our local schools They are obvious in our streets before and after school and on weekends You have nephews and nieces or the children of friends It is part of being human to have the young around you

What do you see when you look at your own children Of course there is the relentless demand of looking after their needs You never stop being a parent even when theyrsquove grown up Their infant cry empty tummy and open mouth is soon replaced by their demand for space and freedom as they move into young adulthood Their outstretched wings are also accompanied by an outstretched hand The expenses donrsquot stop And as their problems multiply with age and stage so do yours because they always remain your kids

Children are costly in terms of time and money but so are all the precious and valuable things in our lives As they change and grow and test our boundaries we parents are stretched and challenged and have to say back to them lsquoYou know Irsquom new at this too Irsquom learning as I go and I am trying to do right by you Please be patient with me and I will try to be with yoursquo

When our young are genetically our children we see our own likenesses in them I see a bit of me and a bit of my wife all beautifully mixed together in a whole new human package Each child is an individual embodiment of the love of his or her father and mother towards each other captured in time and space in a whole new human being Children are or should be love vivified and incarnated They are or should be the overflow of human love in marriage Children are or should be human love expressed and given a life and soul and will of its very own They are a man and a womanrsquos mutual love given a brain a heart two arms and two legs Psalm 127 describes them as arrows in the hands of their parents which we shoot off into Godrsquos world to work it and rule it They are given the mandate to fill the earth and subdue it and rule over Godrsquos good creation in Godrsquos image (Genesis 128-29)

Our common wealth and prosperity shows that humans are actually pretty good at ruling this world because we are made for it Most of our common wealth we have received from our predecessors as an inheritance We add a little bit to it or waste it during our short lives We cannot take it with us when death comes We pass on to our children our efforts to rule the world in our generation for good or ill This is our childrenrsquos inheritance Our children I hope will have dams and houses and roads and schools and power stations that they did not build or pay for just as we enjoy them now Unfortunately our failures short-sightedness and sin individually or as a community are also part of that legacy we bequeath to them They will have our asbestos and pollution and national debt to clean up and pay for Nor do we know what else they will have to deal with once wersquove shuffled off this mortal coil

Children are not simply the outcome of a mutual agreement to reproduce They do not complete us as parents or make us more human They are not an accessory They are not a way of getting social security payments or a means of social acceptance They are not just units of production cheap

labour or free baby sitters They are not just lsquoidle eatersrsquo nor future economic units nor simply tomorrows taxpayers who will support our ageing population They are not part of the overpopulation problem They are not merely the ones who choose our nursing homes and will inherit our stuff They are not our right but they are a gift They are not my property but they are my true wealth They are never an accident certainly not from Godrsquos point of view but are welcome members and co-sharers with us of Godrsquos world

To have a child is an act of hope It is an act of defiance against the suffering and death experienced in our world The birth of a child says that despite even the death that will come and take my child (unless Jesus comes back first) human life is right and good and matters Jesus Christrsquos resurrection gives us even more reason to act in defiance of suffering and death by having children It says that death is not the end but each of our children has an immortal soul Each of our children will rise from the dead even the ones who were miscarried or died in the womb or were stillborn or tragically aborted These ones we leave in the hands of their maker who said lsquoLet the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as thesersquo But the ones God gives us for a short time with them we seek to share with them the good things we have been given including our knowledge of God lsquoOne generation will declare Your works to the next and will proclaim Your mighty actsrsquo (Psalm 1454)

The Menrsquos Shed UpdateWhilst we celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Anzac Day

Pastors CornerAs we move into June half the year has almost gone Do you

wonder what you have accomplished in those six months Take some time to stock take to consider what you have done where have you applied your energy and talents to Have you been able to help others Who have you selflessly loved What difference in other people lives have you made Sometimes we find ourselves just going through the motions of everyday life work studies houses family friends interest groups all bring responsibilities Is that what life is about

How do you focus on the needs of others when you also have needs Jesus speaks of this He says ldquoFor I was hungry and you gave me something to eat I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink I was a stranger and you invited me in I needed clothes and you clothed me I was sick and you looked after me I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew 2535-36)

For me these words are challenging how should I respond Are there people in our community that are hungry or thirsty Is it safe to engage with strangers My wardrobe is full of clothes that perhaps I will grow (shrink) back into would it be better to give them to people who need clothes How can I help others who are sick lonely or ageing How could I visit those who are imprisoned

All of those needs exist in our communities so how can we help Each of must answer that question but there is something special about giving to others somehow you seem to receive more than you gave away I donrsquot mean so much physically it is more about how you feel about yourself

In this area I pray that you too may know the God that loves you and through a personal faith in Jesus learn to have His heart for people and in doing so through practical ways contribute to the lives of others

lsquoResiliencersquo Is A Bit Of A Buzz Word These Days

We all want our kids to do well and to be well One of the things that determines social and emotional wellbeing is ldquoresiliencerdquo Resilience is defi ned as the ability of an individual to access resources to prevent minimise or overcome hardship

The problem I think we have when talking about resilience is that we treat it as something separate to our parenting and teaching We treat it as something separate that our children must learn like they learn maths or the rules of whichever sport they choose to play It is treated as something that we do to or for our children

But really resilience is learnt within environments through children feeling heard and feeling that they belong Children learn coping skills in relationship with parents and teachers They learn about feelings and how to manage them from birth in relationship with us The most optimal environment is a positive one in which parents and teachers regard themselves as guides and educators

There is no point learning how to apply resilience in environments that are harsh punitive or unyielding and having caregivers that shame children on a regular basis Itrsquos like applying a band aid to a gaping wound For this reason I think that parenting programmes like Circle of Security and Triple P are better programmes for promoting resilience in our children that any resilience programme available for children

There has been a steady decline of resilience and mental health in young people over the past 3 decades What I am increasingly fi nding in my work with children is that they feel they cannot bring their struggles and problems to their parents The message from parents to their children resoundingly is ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo ldquostop being a drama queenwusssookrdquo ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquoman uprdquo Up to 90 of the children I work with feel they cannot talk to their parents or when they do they are dismissed rescued punished or ignored The majority of Year 6 children I speak with young people heading into high school and adolescence feel their parents donrsquot listen to them No wonder 1 in 4 of our young people will go on to develop clinical depression In this lsquoluckyrsquo country Too sad

As an Aboriginal woman said to me many years ago ldquoyou canrsquot be a strong tree if you donrsquot have strong rootsrdquo So how do our children grow strong roots Australian psychologist Andrew Fuller cites the research and advises that those children who are most resilient have been found to have three factors in their life (httpsvimeocom43821184)

1 Feeling love connection and belonging within their family

2 Having a few friendship groups so that if they fall out with one group they can align themselves with another group

3 Having an adult outside the family that likes themParenting is the most important factor in childrenrsquos resilience

Children grow up in the context of family I would like to see the resilience debate going forward as placing an emphasis on parents to learn positive parenting skills and providing an environment in which our children grow their resilience skills rather than placing the onus on children to bear the responsibility for learning resilience skills How are you creating an environment in which your children can grow strong roots

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Current members of local craft groups carry on the handcrafting heritage with their handcrafting skills Each month this column will try to feature the work of a local group

One group where the handcrafting heritage continues meets in the Hobby Hut rooms in the old cottage behind the Catholic Church in Warragamba

Each Friday morning between 10am and noon members host a crafting morning tea at the rooms The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to join inhellipthe area is also well-fenced child and dog friendly

Turner recently returned from the United Kingdom with some exciting and inspiring news Earlier this year Jessica completed a research fellowship for communication research company PRIME Research in Oxford in the United Kingdom Her brief research fellowship in the UK greatly impressed PRIME Research and they have off ered Jessica a permanent position there as a Junior Project Manager in the Automotive team

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

The District Gazette would like to wish Jessica all the very best of luck on her new life in the UK and hope she continues to achieve her goals

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

What Do You See When You Look At Your Children

Many of you who read this column have had children and raised them Not everyone has but many of you have Many of you are grandparents or great grandparents And even if you donrsquot have your own kids and even if you donrsquot like kids you cannot easily get away from them

There are hundreds of children in our local schools They are obvious in our streets before and after school and on weekends You have nephews and nieces or the children of friends It is part of being human to have the young around you

What do you see when you look at your own children Of course there is the relentless demand of looking after their needs You never stop being a parent even when theyrsquove grown up Their infant cry empty tummy and open mouth is soon replaced by their demand for space and freedom as they move into young adulthood Their outstretched wings are also accompanied by an outstretched hand The expenses donrsquot stop And as their problems multiply with age and stage so do yours because they always remain your kids

Children are costly in terms of time and money but so are all the precious and valuable things in our lives As they change and grow and test our boundaries we parents are stretched and challenged and have to say back to them lsquoYou know Irsquom new at this too Irsquom learning as I go and I am trying to do right by you Please be patient with me and I will try to be with yoursquo

When our young are genetically our children we see our own likenesses in them I see a bit of me and a bit of my wife all beautifully mixed together in a whole new human package Each child is an individual embodiment of the love of his or her father and mother towards each other captured in time and space in a whole new human being Children are or should be love vivified and incarnated They are or should be the overflow of human love in marriage Children are or should be human love expressed and given a life and soul and will of its very own They are a man and a womanrsquos mutual love given a brain a heart two arms and two legs Psalm 127 describes them as arrows in the hands of their parents which we shoot off into Godrsquos world to work it and rule it They are given the mandate to fill the earth and subdue it and rule over Godrsquos good creation in Godrsquos image (Genesis 128-29)

Our common wealth and prosperity shows that humans are actually pretty good at ruling this world because we are made for it Most of our common wealth we have received from our predecessors as an inheritance We add a little bit to it or waste it during our short lives We cannot take it with us when death comes We pass on to our children our efforts to rule the world in our generation for good or ill This is our childrenrsquos inheritance Our children I hope will have dams and houses and roads and schools and power stations that they did not build or pay for just as we enjoy them now Unfortunately our failures short-sightedness and sin individually or as a community are also part of that legacy we bequeath to them They will have our asbestos and pollution and national debt to clean up and pay for Nor do we know what else they will have to deal with once wersquove shuffled off this mortal coil

Children are not simply the outcome of a mutual agreement to reproduce They do not complete us as parents or make us more human They are not an accessory They are not a way of getting social security payments or a means of social acceptance They are not just units of production cheap

labour or free baby sitters They are not just lsquoidle eatersrsquo nor future economic units nor simply tomorrows taxpayers who will support our ageing population They are not part of the overpopulation problem They are not merely the ones who choose our nursing homes and will inherit our stuff They are not our right but they are a gift They are not my property but they are my true wealth They are never an accident certainly not from Godrsquos point of view but are welcome members and co-sharers with us of Godrsquos world

To have a child is an act of hope It is an act of defiance against the suffering and death experienced in our world The birth of a child says that despite even the death that will come and take my child (unless Jesus comes back first) human life is right and good and matters Jesus Christrsquos resurrection gives us even more reason to act in defiance of suffering and death by having children It says that death is not the end but each of our children has an immortal soul Each of our children will rise from the dead even the ones who were miscarried or died in the womb or were stillborn or tragically aborted These ones we leave in the hands of their maker who said lsquoLet the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as thesersquo But the ones God gives us for a short time with them we seek to share with them the good things we have been given including our knowledge of God lsquoOne generation will declare Your works to the next and will proclaim Your mighty actsrsquo (Psalm 1454)

Pastors CornerAs we move into June half the year has almost gone Do you

wonder what you have accomplished in those six months Take some time to stock take to consider what you have done where have you applied your energy and talents to Have you been able to help others Who have you selflessly loved What difference in other people lives have you made Sometimes we find ourselves just going through the motions of everyday life work studies houses family friends interest groups all bring responsibilities Is that what life is about

How do you focus on the needs of others when you also have needs Jesus speaks of this He says ldquoFor I was hungry and you gave me something to eat I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink I was a stranger and you invited me in I needed clothes and you clothed me I was sick and you looked after me I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew 2535-36)

For me these words are challenging how should I respond Are there people in our community that are hungry or thirsty Is it safe to engage with strangers My wardrobe is full of clothes that perhaps I will grow (shrink) back into would it be better to give them to people who need clothes How can I help others who are sick lonely or ageing How could I visit those who are imprisoned

All of those needs exist in our communities so how can we help Each of must answer that question but there is something special about giving to others somehow you seem to receive more than you gave away I donrsquot mean so much physically it is more about how you feel about yourself

In this area I pray that you too may know the God that loves you and through a personal faith in Jesus learn to have His heart for people and in doing so through practical ways contribute to the lives of others

lsquoResiliencersquo Is A Bit Of A Buzz Word These Days

We all want our kids to do well and to be well One of the things that determines social and emotional wellbeing is ldquoresiliencerdquo Resilience is defi ned as the ability of an individual to access resources to prevent minimise or overcome hardship

The problem I think we have when talking about resilience is that we treat it as something separate to our parenting and teaching We treat it as something separate that our children must learn like they learn maths or the rules of whichever sport they choose to play It is treated as something that we do to or for our children

But really resilience is learnt within environments through children feeling heard and feeling that they belong Children learn coping skills in relationship with parents and teachers They learn about feelings and how to manage them from birth in relationship with us The most optimal environment is a positive one in which parents and teachers regard themselves as guides and educators

There is no point learning how to apply resilience in environments that are harsh punitive or unyielding and having caregivers that shame children on a regular basis Itrsquos like applying a band aid to a gaping wound For this reason I think that parenting programmes like Circle of Security and Triple P are better programmes for promoting resilience in our children that any resilience programme available for children

There has been a steady decline of resilience and mental health in young people over the past 3 decades What I am increasingly fi nding in my work with children is that they feel they cannot bring their struggles and problems to their parents The message from parents to their children resoundingly is ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo ldquostop being a drama queenwusssookrdquo ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquoman uprdquo Up to 90 of the children I work with feel they cannot talk to their parents or when they do they are dismissed rescued punished or ignored The majority of Year 6 children I speak with young people heading into high school and adolescence feel their parents donrsquot listen to them No wonder 1 in 4 of our young people will go on to develop clinical depression In this lsquoluckyrsquo country Too sad

As an Aboriginal woman said to me many years ago ldquoyou canrsquot be a strong tree if you donrsquot have strong rootsrdquo So how do our children grow strong roots Australian psychologist Andrew Fuller cites the research and advises that those children who are most resilient have been found to have three factors in their life (httpsvimeocom43821184)

1 Feeling love connection and belonging within their family

2 Having a few friendship groups so that if they fall out with one group they can align themselves with another group

3 Having an adult outside the family that likes themParenting is the most important factor in childrenrsquos resilience

Children grow up in the context of family I would like to see the resilience debate going forward as placing an emphasis on parents to learn positive parenting skills and providing an environment in which our children grow their resilience skills rather than placing the onus on children to bear the responsibility for learning resilience skills How are you creating an environment in which your children can grow strong roots

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Current members of local craft groups carry on the handcrafting heritage with their handcrafting skills Each month this column will try to feature the work of a local group

One group where the handcrafting heritage continues meets in the Hobby Hut rooms in the old cottage behind the Catholic Church in Warragamba

Each Friday morning between 10am and noon members host a crafting morning tea at the rooms The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to join inhellipthe area is also well-fenced child and dog friendly

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

The District Gazette would like to wish Jessica all the very best of luck on her new life in the UK and hope she continues to achieve her goals

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

Pastors CornerAs we move into June half the year has almost gone Do you

wonder what you have accomplished in those six months Take some time to stock take to consider what you have done where have you applied your energy and talents to Have you been able to help others Who have you selflessly loved What difference in other people lives have you made Sometimes we find ourselves just going through the motions of everyday life work studies houses family friends interest groups all bring responsibilities Is that what life is about

How do you focus on the needs of others when you also have needs Jesus speaks of this He says ldquoFor I was hungry and you gave me something to eat I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink I was a stranger and you invited me in I needed clothes and you clothed me I was sick and you looked after me I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew 2535-36)

For me these words are challenging how should I respond Are there people in our community that are hungry or thirsty Is it safe to engage with strangers My wardrobe is full of clothes that perhaps I will grow (shrink) back into would it be better to give them to people who need clothes How can I help others who are sick lonely or ageing How could I visit those who are imprisoned

All of those needs exist in our communities so how can we help Each of must answer that question but there is something special about giving to others somehow you seem to receive more than you gave away I donrsquot mean so much physically it is more about how you feel about yourself

In this area I pray that you too may know the God that loves you and through a personal faith in Jesus learn to have His heart for people and in doing so through practical ways contribute to the lives of others

lsquoResiliencersquo Is A Bit Of A Buzz Word These Days

We all want our kids to do well and to be well One of the things that determines social and emotional wellbeing is ldquoresiliencerdquo Resilience is defi ned as the ability of an individual to access resources to prevent minimise or overcome hardship

The problem I think we have when talking about resilience is that we treat it as something separate to our parenting and teaching We treat it as something separate that our children must learn like they learn maths or the rules of whichever sport they choose to play It is treated as something that we do to or for our children

But really resilience is learnt within environments through children feeling heard and feeling that they belong Children learn coping skills in relationship with parents and teachers They learn about feelings and how to manage them from birth in relationship with us The most optimal environment is a positive one in which parents and teachers regard themselves as guides and educators

There is no point learning how to apply resilience in environments that are harsh punitive or unyielding and having caregivers that shame children on a regular basis Itrsquos like applying a band aid to a gaping wound For this reason I think that parenting programmes like Circle of Security and Triple P are better programmes for promoting resilience in our children that any resilience programme available for children

There has been a steady decline of resilience and mental health in young people over the past 3 decades What I am increasingly fi nding in my work with children is that they feel they cannot bring their struggles and problems to their parents The message from parents to their children resoundingly is ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo ldquostop being a drama queenwusssookrdquo ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquoman uprdquo Up to 90 of the children I work with feel they cannot talk to their parents or when they do they are dismissed rescued punished or ignored The majority of Year 6 children I speak with young people heading into high school and adolescence feel their parents donrsquot listen to them No wonder 1 in 4 of our young people will go on to develop clinical depression In this lsquoluckyrsquo country Too sad

As an Aboriginal woman said to me many years ago ldquoyou canrsquot be a strong tree if you donrsquot have strong rootsrdquo So how do our children grow strong roots Australian psychologist Andrew Fuller cites the research and advises that those children who are most resilient have been found to have three factors in their life (httpsvimeocom43821184)

1 Feeling love connection and belonging within their family

2 Having a few friendship groups so that if they fall out with one group they can align themselves with another group

3 Having an adult outside the family that likes themParenting is the most important factor in childrenrsquos resilience

Children grow up in the context of family I would like to see the resilience debate going forward as placing an emphasis on parents to learn positive parenting skills and providing an environment in which our children grow their resilience skills rather than placing the onus on children to bear the responsibility for learning resilience skills How are you creating an environment in which your children can grow strong roots

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Current members of local craft groups carry on the handcrafting heritage with their handcrafting skills Each month this column will try to feature the work of a local group

One group where the handcrafting heritage continues meets in the Hobby Hut rooms in the old cottage behind the Catholic Church in Warragamba

Each Friday morning between 10am and noon members host a crafting morning tea at the rooms The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to join inhellipthe area is also well-fenced child and dog friendly

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

The District Gazette would like to wish Jessica all the very best of luck on her new life in the UK and hope she continues to achieve her goals

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Pastors CornerAs we move into June half the year has almost gone Do you

wonder what you have accomplished in those six months Take some time to stock take to consider what you have done where have you applied your energy and talents to Have you been able to help others Who have you selflessly loved What difference in other people lives have you made Sometimes we find ourselves just going through the motions of everyday life work studies houses family friends interest groups all bring responsibilities Is that what life is about

How do you focus on the needs of others when you also have needs Jesus speaks of this He says ldquoFor I was hungry and you gave me something to eat I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink I was a stranger and you invited me in I needed clothes and you clothed me I was sick and you looked after me I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew 2535-36)

For me these words are challenging how should I respond Are there people in our community that are hungry or thirsty Is it safe to engage with strangers My wardrobe is full of clothes that perhaps I will grow (shrink) back into would it be better to give them to people who need clothes How can I help others who are sick lonely or ageing How could I visit those who are imprisoned

All of those needs exist in our communities so how can we help Each of must answer that question but there is something special about giving to others somehow you seem to receive more than you gave away I donrsquot mean so much physically it is more about how you feel about yourself

In this area I pray that you too may know the God that loves you and through a personal faith in Jesus learn to have His heart for people and in doing so through practical ways contribute to the lives of others

Police Appeal After Cyclist AssaultedLuddenham

Police are appealing for information after a cyclist was assaulted at Luddenham last month About 10am on Saturday 23 May 2015 a 59-year-old man was riding a bicycle north along the Northern Road with another male cyclist

About 500 metres from the intersection of Elizabeth Drive a group of motorcyclists approached the cyclists travelling in the same direction

At this time police have been told one of the motorcyclists rode close to the 59-year-old and kicked him in the leg

The cyclist fell onto the road and was assisted by fellow cyclists He was treated at the scene for cuts to this face and body The motorcyclists failed to stop and continued in a northerly direction along the Northern Road

Offi cers attached to St Marys Local Area Command were called and are investigating the incident As they continue their inquiries police would like to speak to a number of motorcyclists who may be able to assist them as well as any drivers who were in the area and witnessed the incident

The motorcyclists have been described as being dressed in black clothing and riding black Harley Davidson motorbikes with chrome-coloured handlebars

lsquoResiliencersquo Is A Bit Of A Buzz Word These Days

We all want our kids to do well and to be well One of the things that determines social and emotional wellbeing is ldquoresiliencerdquo Resilience is defi ned as the ability of an individual to access resources to prevent minimise or overcome hardship

The problem I think we have when talking about resilience is that we treat it as something separate to our parenting and teaching We treat it as something separate that our children must learn like they learn maths or the rules of whichever sport they choose to play It is treated as something that we do to or for our children

But really resilience is learnt within environments through children feeling heard and feeling that they belong Children learn coping skills in relationship with parents and teachers They learn about feelings and how to manage them from birth in relationship with us The most optimal environment is a positive one in which parents and teachers regard themselves as guides and educators

There is no point learning how to apply resilience in environments that are harsh punitive or unyielding and having caregivers that shame children on a regular basis Itrsquos like applying a band aid to a gaping wound For this reason I think that parenting programmes like Circle of Security and Triple P are better programmes for promoting resilience in our children that any resilience programme available for children

There has been a steady decline of resilience and mental health in young people over the past 3 decades What I am increasingly fi nding in my work with children is that they feel they cannot bring their struggles and problems to their parents The message from parents to their children resoundingly is ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo ldquostop being a drama queenwusssookrdquo ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquoman uprdquo Up to 90 of the children I work with feel they cannot talk to their parents or when they do they are dismissed rescued punished or ignored The majority of Year 6 children I speak with young people heading into high school and adolescence feel their parents donrsquot listen to them No wonder 1 in 4 of our young people will go on to develop clinical depression In this lsquoluckyrsquo country Too sad

As an Aboriginal woman said to me many years ago ldquoyou canrsquot be a strong tree if you donrsquot have strong rootsrdquo So how do our children grow strong roots Australian psychologist Andrew Fuller cites the research and advises that those children who are most resilient have been found to have three factors in their life (httpsvimeocom43821184)

1 Feeling love connection and belonging within their family

2 Having a few friendship groups so that if they fall out with one group they can align themselves with another group

3 Having an adult outside the family that likes themParenting is the most important factor in childrenrsquos resilience

Children grow up in the context of family I would like to see the resilience debate going forward as placing an emphasis on parents to learn positive parenting skills and providing an environment in which our children grow their resilience skills rather than placing the onus on children to bear the responsibility for learning resilience skills How are you creating an environment in which your children can grow strong roots

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Current members of local craft groups carry on the handcrafting heritage with their handcrafting skills Each month this column will try to feature the work of a local group

One group where the handcrafting heritage continues meets in the Hobby Hut rooms in the old cottage behind the Catholic Church in Warragamba

Each Friday morning between 10am and noon members host a crafting morning tea at the rooms The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to join inhellipthe area is also well-fenced child and dog friendly

Jessica Continues To ShineSilverdale resident Jessica

Turner recently returned from the United Kingdom with some exciting and inspiring news Earlier this year Jessica completed a research fellowship for communication research company PRIME Research in Oxford in the United Kingdom Her brief research fellowship in the UK greatly impressed PRIME Research and they have off ered Jessica a permanent position there as a Junior Project Manager in the Automotive team

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

The District Gazette would like to wish Jessica all the very best of luck on her new life in the UK and hope she continues to achieve her goals

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

lsquoResiliencersquo Is A Bit Of A Buzz Word These Days

We all want our kids to do well and to be well One of the things that determines social and emotional wellbeing is ldquoresiliencerdquo Resilience is defi ned as the ability of an individual to access resources to prevent minimise or overcome hardship

The problem I think we have when talking about resilience is that we treat it as something separate to our parenting and teaching We treat it as something separate that our children must learn like they learn maths or the rules of whichever sport they choose to play It is treated as something that we do to or for our children

But really resilience is learnt within environments through children feeling heard and feeling that they belong Children learn coping skills in relationship with parents and teachers They learn about feelings and how to manage them from birth in relationship with us The most optimal environment is a positive one in which parents and teachers regard themselves as guides and educators

There is no point learning how to apply resilience in environments that are harsh punitive or unyielding and having caregivers that shame children on a regular basis Itrsquos like applying a band aid to a gaping wound For this reason I think that parenting programmes like Circle of Security and Triple P are better programmes for promoting resilience in our children that any resilience programme available for children

There has been a steady decline of resilience and mental health in young people over the past 3 decades What I am increasingly fi nding in my work with children is that they feel they cannot bring their struggles and problems to their parents The message from parents to their children resoundingly is ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo ldquostop being a drama queenwusssookrdquo ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquoman uprdquo Up to 90 of the children I work with feel they cannot talk to their parents or when they do they are dismissed rescued punished or ignored The majority of Year 6 children I speak with young people heading into high school and adolescence feel their parents donrsquot listen to them No wonder 1 in 4 of our young people will go on to develop clinical depression In this lsquoluckyrsquo country Too sad

As an Aboriginal woman said to me many years ago ldquoyou canrsquot be a strong tree if you donrsquot have strong rootsrdquo So how do our children grow strong roots Australian psychologist Andrew Fuller cites the research and advises that those children who are most resilient have been found to have three factors in their life (httpsvimeocom43821184)

1 Feeling love connection and belonging within their family

2 Having a few friendship groups so that if they fall out with one group they can align themselves with another group

3 Having an adult outside the family that likes themParenting is the most important factor in childrenrsquos resilience

Children grow up in the context of family I would like to see the resilience debate going forward as placing an emphasis on parents to learn positive parenting skills and providing an environment in which our children grow their resilience skills rather than placing the onus on children to bear the responsibility for learning resilience skills How are you creating an environment in which your children can grow strong roots

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Current members of local craft groups carry on the handcrafting heritage with their handcrafting skills Each month this column will try to feature the work of a local group

One group where the handcrafting heritage continues meets in the Hobby Hut rooms in the old cottage behind the Catholic Church in Warragamba

Each Friday morning between 10am and noon members host a crafting morning tea at the rooms The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to join inhellipthe area is also well-fenced child and dog friendly

Jessica Continues To ShineSilverdale resident Jessica

Turner recently returned from the United Kingdom with some exciting and inspiring news Earlier this year Jessica completed a research fellowship for communication research company PRIME Research in Oxford in the United Kingdom Her brief research fellowship in the UK greatly impressed PRIME Research and they have off ered Jessica a permanent position there as a Junior Project Manager in the Automotive team

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

The District Gazette would like to wish Jessica all the very best of luck on her new life in the UK and hope she continues to achieve her goals

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

lsquoResiliencersquo Is A Bit Of A Buzz Word These Days

We all want our kids to do well and to be well One of the things that determines social and emotional wellbeing is ldquoresiliencerdquo Resilience is defi ned as the ability of an individual to access resources to prevent minimise or overcome hardship

The problem I think we have when talking about resilience is that we treat it as something separate to our parenting and teaching We treat it as something separate that our children must learn like they learn maths or the rules of whichever sport they choose to play It is treated as something that we do to or for our children

But really resilience is learnt within environments through children feeling heard and feeling that they belong Children learn coping skills in relationship with parents and teachers They learn about feelings and how to manage them from birth in relationship with us The most optimal environment is a positive one in which parents and teachers regard themselves as guides and educators

There is no point learning how to apply resilience in environments that are harsh punitive or unyielding and having caregivers that shame children on a regular basis Itrsquos like applying a band aid to a gaping wound For this reason I think that parenting programmes like Circle of Security and Triple P are better programmes for promoting resilience in our children that any resilience programme available for children

There has been a steady decline of resilience and mental health in young people over the past 3 decades What I am increasingly fi nding in my work with children is that they feel they cannot bring their struggles and problems to their parents The message from parents to their children resoundingly is ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo ldquostop being a drama queenwusssookrdquo ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquoman uprdquo Up to 90 of the children I work with feel they cannot talk to their parents or when they do they are dismissed rescued punished or ignored The majority of Year 6 children I speak with young people heading into high school and adolescence feel their parents donrsquot listen to them No wonder 1 in 4 of our young people will go on to develop clinical depression In this lsquoluckyrsquo country Too sad

As an Aboriginal woman said to me many years ago ldquoyou canrsquot be a strong tree if you donrsquot have strong rootsrdquo So how do our children grow strong roots Australian psychologist Andrew Fuller cites the research and advises that those children who are most resilient have been found to have three factors in their life (httpsvimeocom43821184)

1 Feeling love connection and belonging within their family

2 Having a few friendship groups so that if they fall out with one group they can align themselves with another group

3 Having an adult outside the family that likes themParenting is the most important factor in childrenrsquos resilience

Children grow up in the context of family I would like to see the resilience debate going forward as placing an emphasis on parents to learn positive parenting skills and providing an environment in which our children grow their resilience skills rather than placing the onus on children to bear the responsibility for learning resilience skills How are you creating an environment in which your children can grow strong roots

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Current members of local craft groups carry on the handcrafting heritage with their handcrafting skills Each month this column will try to feature the work of a local group

One group where the handcrafting heritage continues meets in the Hobby Hut rooms in the old cottage behind the Catholic Church in Warragamba

Each Friday morning between 10am and noon members host a crafting morning tea at the rooms The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to join inhellipthe area is also well-fenced child and dog friendly

Jessica Continues To ShineSilverdale resident Jessica

Turner recently returned from the United Kingdom with some exciting and inspiring news Earlier this year Jessica completed a research fellowship for communication research company PRIME Research in Oxford in the United Kingdom Her brief research fellowship in the UK greatly impressed PRIME Research and they have off ered Jessica a permanent position there as a Junior Project Manager in the Automotive team

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

The District Gazette would like to wish Jessica all the very best of luck on her new life in the UK and hope she continues to achieve her goals

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

The Handcrafted Legacy Of Love

For members of craft groups in the Mulgoa Valley there is the sad fact that on occasions they lose one of our older craftswomen

When that happens it is not unusual for the family to donate all our late memberrsquos unfi nishedunused craftwork and materials to the Group

As a group of active craftspeople a double sense of loss is felt not only for a friend but also for the ongoing legacy of craft skills that have passed away with her

Embroidered and crocheted cloths and doilies baby clothes as well as volumes of wools and cottons all may be in the donated boxes and bundles

Less obvious in the gifts is a rich source of Australian family social history The knitting and paper patterns the scrapbooked hints and craft ideas that are often included in the boxes give a fairly detailed map of the importance of handcrafted womenrsquos work during one lifetime

Patterns trace the line from the Great Depression and WWII when it was necessary to have handmade socks and jumpers for both family and servicemen and women through to the present when so much can be bought cheaply on-line and craft lessons can be found on you-tube

Current members of local craft groups carry on the handcrafting heritage with their handcrafting skills Each month this column will try to feature the work of a local group

One group where the handcrafting heritage continues meets in the Hobby Hut rooms in the old cottage behind the Catholic Church in Warragamba

Each Friday morning between 10am and noon members host a crafting morning tea at the rooms The atmosphere is friendly and all are welcome to join inhellipthe area is also well-fenced child and dog friendly

Turner recently returned from the United Kingdom with some exciting and inspiring news Earlier this year Jessica completed a research fellowship for communication research company PRIME Research in Oxford in the United Kingdom Her brief research fellowship in the UK greatly impressed PRIME Research and they have off ered Jessica a permanent position there as a Junior Project Manager in the Automotive team

ldquoThis is a fantastic achievement for her and an inspiring story for young residents of Western Sydneyrdquo said Luisa Turner Jessicarsquos mother Jessicarsquos journey this far has been the result of lots of hard work and dedication that is certainly starting to pay off

She attended Kingswood High School and then the University of Western Sydney where she recently graduated with First Class Honours from her Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) Honours degree

Whilst at University her thesis entitled the lsquoSelf Management of Chronic Pain Using Social Mediarsquo is due to be published in academic journals and the inspiration for her research topic has come from caring for her father who has lived with Chronic Pain for over 13 years

Through her research Jessica wants to try and eliminate the stigma and isolation that people living with Chronic Pain deal with every day

Jessica has also been a volunteer fi re fi ghter in the Silverdale RFS brigade for over two years and served the homeless and disadvantaged people in Penrith for the Mama Lanarsquos Community Foundation She has always worked very hard throughout her time at school and university despite many family illnesses and struggles and is an excellent role model for students alike

The District Gazette would like to wish Jessica all the very best of luck on her new life in the UK and hope she continues to achieve her goals

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

Chronic Hip PainMany people have chronic hip pain Serious hip injuries

involving major trauma such as bone breaks require medical interventions eg surgery and rehab But many people still have ongoing hip pain after surgery amp rehab

Hip pain can also arise as referred pain from simple back issues from infl ammation amp tightness following overuse or excess body-weight from chronic infl ammation eg rheumatoid amp osteoarthritis and as a side eff ect of chronic infection (eg Lyme disease)

Regardless of the cause chronic hip pain can make it diffi cult to walk stop you working playing and doing many of the things you love Many people become frustrated because they canrsquot resolve the pain even on strong medications As with any chronic pain hip pain is frequently due simply to unresolved infl ammation

Often the key to resolving hip pain lies in fi nding the cause amp breaking the cycle if infl ammation naturally Depending on individual circumstances dry needling muscle elongation therapy specifi c stretching and in some cases dietary change can be used to great eff ect These begin to

1 Address the causes of infl ammation 2 Remove the infl ammatory build-up in tissues amp3 Free up muscles amp connective tissues in and around

the hipOften when the causes have been properly addressed pain

lessens considerably and in some cases disappears altogether Importantly as pain levels go down those on anti-infl ammatory drugs should not discontinue their medications abruptly Rather carefully controlled reduction in dose is required to avoid rebound reactions

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

COUNSELLING CORNER

Four Important Psychological DiscoveriesEvery day of every year scientists toil away in their eff orts

to understand the workings of the human mind What makes us happy How do our emotions work What should we be doing diff erently in our lives to make ourselves healthier happier and stronger Each year a few studies stand out as particularly helpful by outlining a clear path to accomplish a better and healthier life Here are 4 studies that everyone should know about

Study 1 We look for happiness in all the wrong places

We typically think of major life events raises large purchases and success as the main sources of happiness in our lives But a Harvard University study by Zhang et al 2014 shows that we are overlooking a powerful and readily available font of happiness the small things that happen from day to day

The Implication Pay more attention to the small things that happen in your daily life Small sources of joy are powerful

Study 2 The mindbody connection

In 2014 study after study has shown that mindful people are better off in a variety of diff erent ways In fact higher emotional self-awareness has been found to improve your overall health A Brown University Study by Loucks et al 2014 showed that people who are more aware of what they are thinking and feeling in the moment have lower BMI (body mass index) lower fasting glucose less smoking and higher levels of physical activity

The Implication We should all work on being more aware of what we are thinking and feeling in the moment and why

Study 3 There is a simple way to fi ght your own negativity

and anxiety Negative obsessive thinking is a common part of many emotional and psychological problems A new study by Nota amp Coles 2014 off ers an option to try if you would like to reduce your own negative thinking patterns These researchers found a clear connection between going to bed late at night inadequate sleep and excessive negative thinkingworrying More studies are planned but in the meantime it makes sense to try this relatively easy fi x

The Implication Try going to bed earlier and work toward getting 8 hours of sleep per night and see if it helps reduce your negative anxiety-driven thinking patterns

Study 4 People who treat themselves with compassion

feel better about themselves and their bodies A 2014 study by Kelly et al 2014 found that women who treat themselves with more kindness and compassion are better able to cope with disappointments and setbacks in life They were also less reactive to other peoplersquos judgments or criticisms of their body shape and size

The Implication If you are kind to yourself in the face of your own mistakes and fl aws you will be a stronger and more resilient person overall

In Summaryhellip

bull That you will take joy from the small things in your daily life

bull That you will be aware of what you are feeling in the moment

bull That you will take care of yourself by getting enough sleep

bull That you will treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you off er others

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you

Rate Cut RoundupWell the dust has settled on the 025 interest rate cut announced by the

Reserve Bank in May which took the cash rate to an historical low of just 200 Unfortunately not all of the banks were feeling as generous with many of them passing only part of the rate cut onto their customers

So how does your Home Loan stack up See below to find out how much of the cut your bank passed on to you
