Tuesday 6th October 2020 - Pack 25, Publishing


Posted 11:45am

We released Pack 25 yesterday morning, and I am delighted with how they are going.
We release to a lot of people now, via email, post and hand delivery too.

This pack was 22 pages of content.
On Mind-set we looked at "worry", and how it can be both good and bad. It can help us look after ourselves; for example, if we have pain we may go to the doctor because we are worried about what it could be.  But also we have to be wary about allowing worry to make us over cautious.
On Nutrition: we looked at deficiencies: as well as why we need to have a healthy diet.  Plus we had an overview of the essential mineral Zinc.
On Exercise, we took the time to look at how it affects or mental health for the better.
For health we looked at Dementia: what it is, and what we can be doing to lessen the risk of getting it in the future.
I produced a fun Star Wars based picture game; our usual fiendish quiz which is guaranteed to make you think; the recipe was a proper Shepherd's Pie - I had only ever used shop bought mixes before. I didn't make enough mash, but it mattered now.
On our News page we looked at suicide - this due to the fact we lost a friend recently to it very sadly, and I felt it was important to touch on the subject in a compassionate way.

Someone also mentioned to me that they thought that we should try producing a book based around the packs. A kind of "self-help" book for three months, using each week as a new target. I have contacted quite a few publishers to see what they thought. A couple have said he idea sounded good, but they did not think it was for them.  I hope nobody steals the idea.
