Here are three simple steps you can use anytime and anywhere to give yourself a boost and build your compassion for others.

STEP 1: BE MINDFUL
Relax your breathing and notice: How am I feeling right now?

STEP 2: BE GRATEFUL
Look around you and ask yourself: What am I thankful for?

STEP 3: BE KIND
With warm feelings, ask yourself: Who do I want to send love to?

Remember, we can’t always change what is happening, but we can choose how we respond.

Mother's Day is a beautiful day of joy, but it can also hurt for so many reasons. So for all of our new Mums, those adoptive and foster Mums, those single women longing to be a Mum, Mums grieving the loss of their child, those women who have a strained relationship with their Mother's and those who's Mothers have passed. You are loved, today, tomorrow, forever.

Did you know that those with dementia often show that they're agitated or anxious through fidgeting hands?

To help them calm down and relax when they are showing signs of feeling uneasy or flustered, you need to engage them in something enjoyable, keeping their hands occupied. Sensory therapy or fidget toys are great ways to do this, so here are 5 of our favourite calming strategies to try for fidgeting hands:

💙 Fidget blankets.
💙 Sensory toys.
💙 Ask for their help with simple chores such as folding light clothing items.
💙 Shuffle a deck of cards.
💙 Knitting or crotchet.

Those you're caring for might only feel comfortable doing one of these things or none at all, so make sure you do what they enjoy and are comfortable doing, even if that means trying something completely different.

Save this for later and tag someone that might find this useful.

Healthcare work requires good interpersonal skills, attentiveness and, of course, compassion, so the person you're caring for is comfortable under your care.

Although you may uphold all of these skills, sometimes, it can be hard to know what to do without upsetting the service user, so we've put together a few tips that can be used for anyone you're caring for no matter their age or care needs.

Save this to refer back to and tag a carer below.

You can count on us.

We understand people and know that everyone needs to be treated differently to get the very best out of them, especially in our modern day.

Life can be tough, and every single person that works with us at Tezlom, even the big bosses, have their own story and their own ups and downs. That's why we do everything we can to support the people around us, whether that's on a business or on a personal level. We will always be there for you when you need us.

We know how overwhelming, stressful and emotionally taxing healthcare work can be as you do everything in your power to make those you're caring for happy and comfortable. Although this is one of the most rewarding jobs out there, it can be so easy to get lost in making everyone else happy and healthy that you just forget about yourself.

So, we want you to take 5 for yourself this week. By this, we mean doing 5 things for you and your health, whether that means going on a walk, having a bath, going to a gym class or writing down what you're grateful for. Protecting your emotional and physical energy is so important for both yours and the health of those you're caring for so, make sure you take 5 this week.

Tag someone below that needs this.

Take control of where you're headed in life and spend your time doing the things that you love.

Life's too short to be wasting your time and energy in places and with people that don't make you happy, so start making the right choices to live every aspect of your life to the fullest, including your career, relationships and free time.

We can all get a little hot and bothered at this time of year, but as you can imagine, our elderly loved ones are affected by the heat change a lot more as their bodies struggle to adjust to temperature change.

So, here's a few of our tips to keep elderly people cool in the summer months:

☀️ Keep hydrated. Drink as many liquids as you can.
☀️ Dig out the SPF, sun hats and sunglasses.
☀️ Pop the kettle on. Warm drinks actually help to regulate your body temperature.
☀️ Try to avoid sitting directly in the sun between 11 am and 3 pm.
☀️ Place a cool washcloth on the back of the neck and feet in a pan of cool (but not too cold) water.

What are your top tips for keeping cool in summer?

We need you!

Stepping into July with on our minds.

Since we're welcoming a new month and wrapping up World Wellbeing Week, we wanted to talk to you about all the little changes you can make in your life to improve your wellbeing.

Your wellbeing can be affected by anything you do in your life, from your job to how active you are, and that's why the things that you do with your everyday life are so precious.

Take a moment today to see what small changes you can make this week to positively impact your life, whether that's starting the gym, making more time for yourself or changing to a job that you'll love.

Start putting your wellbeing first and make yourself proud.

Working for an agency can seem scary, especially if it isn't something that you've considered doing before. However, it might actually be the best option for you and your healthcare career.

Working in the same environment all the time can sometimes get tedious, especially if you enjoy being kept on your toes.

Well, one of the key advantages of working for an agency is that we offer variation in your job role. There is no 'standard day at the office' as an agency worker and you can expect to work with a wide range of environments, care needs and personalities.

If you want more variety in your job role, get in contact to find out more about our agency and what positions we have to offer.

Today marks the first day of Awareness Week.

One of the many things we take advantage of is our senses. Imagine the world with only 3 of your 5 senses. How would you get to work? How would you do your shopping? How would you go about your day-to-day life?

There are 400,000 deafblind people in the UK, so we want you to recognise how brave and strong these people are and raise awareness to make our world more inclusive for everyone.

Our Support Workers experience the difficulties those with deafblindness face every day, and that's why we want you all to get 'in the know' this week and do everything you can to support those with dual sensory loss.

Looking for some extra experience as a Student Nurse?

We have a wide variety of job opportunities in many different environments across the UK ready for you.

We want to welcome with open arms as we all know that our Healthcare Workers deserve a massive thank you and a pat on the back for all they do for our loved ones across the country.

It takes a special kind of person to care for others, and we are so proud of the passion and love each one of our Healthcare Workers holds for their job role. Helping others is at their heart, and we can see that in the dedication and amazing work they show every day.

So, thank you again to you all - we couldn't think of anyone better to look after those that need you.

It's , and we want to take this opportunity to squash the stigma and raise awareness of the difficulties people face and overcome every single day.

Many of our Support Workers help those living with learning disabilities as it can be quite hard, especially with the discrimination people hold around these difficulties.

That's why we want to remind you this week that some of the most successful and influential people in history have learning disabilities. This only proves that learning disabilities do not lessen your potential; they sometimes just mean taking a different path from other people to get the same outcome.

Remember, everything is possible if you try hard enough. We believe in you all.

Let's make it the norm for men to not be ok, speak up and show their emotions. Share if you agree.

The average person's heart beats around 100,000 times a day. Now, that might not seem like a lot, but when we put it into perspective, we realise how precious every beat truly is.

Here at Tezlom, we are so passionate about creating a healthy working environment filled with passionate, like-minded people so that everyone can love and enjoy their role.

What does health mean to you?

Health is an extremely personable thing, and although the dictionary defines it one way, everyone also has their own definition of what health is and what it means to them.

We prioritise all of our team's health and offer job flexibility so that everyone can create a life that fits around maintaining a healthy mind, body and lifestyle for them.

Caring for those with dementia can be difficult, as the damage being caused to their brain can lead to a number of personality changes that you may not be used to, including outbursts of aggressive behaviour.

It is always useful to remember that these outbursts of aggression are usually caused by their difficulties communicating their needs, such as pain, discomfort, fright or frustration.

Here are our tips for dealing with aggressive behaviour for those with dementia and how to calm the situation, making everyone safe.

For the longest time, we have heard all sorts of rumours about hiccups and how to get rid of them, such as drinking water upside down, scaring people and holding your breath, all of which definitely aren't true.

Although there is no definite cause or cure for hiccups, we can tell you that they're triggered by a few things, including stress, strong emotions (like excitement), and eating/drinking fast.

So, instead of going around using hiccups as an excuse to scare people, share the triggers of hiccups to hopefully help people prevent them in the first place.

Today is the start of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and so we would like to recognise the massive impact that LGBTQ+ people have in the world.

Celebrating pride month is very important to us at Tezlom, with one of our brand pillars being equality. We firmly believe everybody deserves a chance and should be treated fairly and equally, free from prejudice and preference, regardless of circumstance.

Since we're coming into summer, waking up to warmer days, and everyone's looking for a quick fix to cool down, we thought it was about time we shared our favourite way to lower our body temperature.

The best way that we have found to cool us down is actually to put ice on our pulse points, such as our wrists and sides of the neck. Since your blood vessels in these areas are close to the skin's surface, the cold will bring your body temperature down much quicker.

How do you cool it, cucumber?
