‘It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.’ Charles Darwin
Much has changed since the last issue of Wirral Wellbeing and it seems inevitable that the pace of change will only increase as we move forward. How well do you manage the changing environment around you? How adaptable are you? As Charles Darwin says, ‘adaptability to change is key to survival’, but how can we not only survive but thrive? “We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes.” – Charles Swindoll Your attitude and, how you react to life, is key to your wellbeing and success. Having the skills and tools to more positively manage your thoughts, words and emotions, can be helpful to you in all areas of your life. It can help you in your career and your relationships and importantly, it can help you improve your overall physical and mental wellbeing, including stress management, which I am increasingly being asked to help people with as part of my coaching services.

Well what a few months we have all had! In spite of lockdown and having to batten down the hatches as a business for the last few months, I can’t say I didn’t enjoy the slower pace of life with more time to spend with the family. Yes, it felt tough at times, yes we had our rough days, yes we missed friends and loved ones and yes I had to brush up on maths for homeschooling... (didn’t I just). But on the whole and just like everyone else, we dug deep and got on with it. We took long walks with the dogs, we exercised and went on lovely bike rides, we did lots of art therapy and realised the important things in life. On the whole we muddled through grateful that the people we cared for were safe and well. We even managed to triple our online readership of which I am thrilled. So now I just want to say Thanks to the NHS and ALL THE KEY WORKERS...and help get my advertisers back out there again. I hope things are back to normal or getting there for most of us and I pray that it stays that way once and for all. Always happy to hear your stories and advice too and I hope you enjoy our latest edition.. stay safe and be well.. Laura x

Beauty Salon Commemorates Lives Lost to Covid-19 Many of us have been deeply affected by Covid-19 and it has claimed hundreds of lives in Wirral. Anne Roberts, owner of Anne Roberts Hair and Beauty, has commissioned an art installation at her salon in Oxton to commemorate those lives lost. The installation, ‘Remember Me Wirral’, consists of over 300 butterflies. Each butterfly represents a soul and are hand cut in recycled paper. Some butterflies have the name, birth date and sadly the day a family lost a loved one on them. A simple message of remembrance. Not to be forgotten. Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. In some cultures, butterflies represent re birth, freedom, transformation and life. Designer, Sarah Higgs took a week (with the help of her children) to create the installation. “I hope people looking at the butterflies find optimism for the future, and enjoy the time to stop and reflect on how they want their new world lives to be” The butterflies relate all too closely to the salon as their receptionist Sharon McIvor tragically lost her beloved father, Harry to the virus. Harry was a huge Celtic fan and his butterfly was crafted in their colours. Anne Roberts Hair and Beauty, a Clarins Gold Salon, has itself undergone a transformation. In light of the Governments Directives, every precaution has been taken and indeed outlined in their Covid-19 statement online. For over thirty years this salon has served its community; rather fitting that now it is serving to commemorate those lost to the pandemic.

d e s cancer s e Bl with
My name is Leah Singh, I am 34 years old and have recently been cured from breastcancer.
I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in August 2nd 2019. As you could imagine, upon hearing this news my world was turned upside down. I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I had breastcancer and at such a young age and I was floored. I just couldnt phathom it atall. Once the reality had sunk in i just became numb to it. I knew what I had to do to beat this thing and I was ready. I decided I was going to vlog my cancer journey, one, as a coping mechanism and two, to help others who were in the same boat as me. I called my page Blessed with cancer. As the minute I was diagnosed I realised how incredibly blessed in life I was. I had amazing friends an family around me and i realised how special I was to everyone. I wanted to make sure that if i was going to have a disease such as cancer
that i would some how turn this awful situation into a blessing in my life. Being diagnosed with cancer was the toughest thing I had ever faced in life. I am also a single mum to my five year old daughter so things where incredibly tough. My whole world had been turned upside down and all of a sudden I was in this whirlwind of hospital appointments and treatment plans, it was all very surreal. My treatment plan included fertility treatment, chemotherapy, surgery and then finally radiotherapy. I went from being a person who hates to even take paracetamol to very intense medication. It was alot for me to digest, especially the fertility treatment and chemotherapy. I have never thought about whether or not I wanted more WIRRAL WELL

children in the future but to have that compromised or possibly taken away from me was a hard pill to swallow!! With me only being 32 at the time, I was offered fertility treatment as chemotherapy puts you into a early menopause and there’s no gaurentee that you will 100 percent come out of that once treatment had finished. Fertility treatment consisted of injecting hormones into my stomach for 2 weeks and then undergoing a small operation to recover my eggs for them to be frozen. 6 eggs where collected in total.
or they break you. My aim was to turn a really bad negative situation into a positive one and I really succeeded at this. No matter how tough and hard it got, I always managed to keep a smile on my face and power through. I never gave up once, and I think this is incredibly important in these circumstances. You have to put up a fight and do what you can in order to save your life.
Next step was the chemotherapy, i think it goes with out saying that this the part that scares people the most. Going through chemo wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be but it was still bad enough. I also opted for the cold cap which is worn by women in a attempt to keep their hair. The idea of the cold cap is to freeze your hair follicles and prevent your hair from falling out . Alot of woman are scared to use the cold cap as there are some horror stories about it, but i found it to be absolutely fine and didn’t get much discomfort from it. I saved my hair through the first cycle which lasted 12 weeks, but once I started on my second cycle which was way more harsher, my hair began to fall out on Christmas eve after the second round. I completed half of my second cycle before deciding to stop. My hair had really thinned so I decided that i was going to shave it off. On January 4th 2020 I shaved my hair off for charity on social media infront of thousands of people. I felt so liberated and empowering doing this. It was the best feeling ever and to my surprise i really suited a bald head. I went from having very long thick curly hair to absolutely nothing, but i embraced it. The next stage was surgery. I had a lumpectomy and it was absolutely fine, I found once you have been through chemo everything else just seems so easy. I recovered really quick after surgery. I seemed to breeze through my radiotherapy too, it wasn’t bad atall. Coming to the end of my cancer treatment, we was thrown into a pandemic so that was abit crazy. I wasn’t allowed anyone to accompany me during this stage and also rang the bell alone which I was gutted about as I really wanted my daughter there with me. I had such amazing strengh going through my treatment and I kept positive the whole time. Positivity is what got me through it as positivity is 80% of any battle. Even though my cancer journey was very tough and extremely dark at times, I feel like i have grown so much as a person through this experience. I am such a better person for it and It has given me a whole new look and attitude on life. I feel like i have come out the other side alot more stronger, wiser and happier which is bizarre. When we are faced with these traumas in life, it us up to us to determine how we deal with them. They either make you WIRRAL WELL

Suprising benefits of
Sea Moss

WIRRAL WELL
BEING
So what is Sea Moss some of you may ask... Sea moss, also known as Irish moss, is a powerful superfood filled with various nutrients and minerals. It’s brimming with antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agents that can keep your body running in tip-top condition It Supports Thyroid Health Thyroid hormone imbalance often leads to fatigue, extreme weight gain/loss, fertility issues, and frequent muscle pain. There are a number of things you can do to support thyroid health, and one of them is by consuming sea moss. Sea moss has always been a staple in alternative medicine, but it wasn’t until the early 21st century when the claims got backed by studies and research. One study even showed that sea moss might be effective in speeding up thyroid treatment among women. What makes eating sea moss a good way to support thyroid health is its high iodine content, a mineral that stimulates the production of thyroid hormones. Clears Respiratory System of Mucus Suffering from a blocked sinus? You can use sea moss to help clear your respiratory or lymphatic system. The high chloride, chlorophyll, potassium chloride, and omega-3 fatty acid contents of sea moss make it a good decongestant. They also have antimicrobial and antiinflammation properties that can help ease swelling and dissolve mucus. You can use this to combat the flu, common cold, and various allergic reactions. If the symptoms persist, however, make sure you consult with a medical specialist right away. Improves Overall Mood Potassium is a very important mineral that supports mental and emotional health. A deficiency in potassium can lead to confusion, depression, anxiety, nervousness, and fatigue. Since the body doesn’t store potassium for extended periods, you need to replenish your body with it regularly. And one way you can do so is by drinking your share of sea moss every day. Boosts Gut Health Sea moss has a thick, rich texture that soothes mucus membranes in the digestive tract. They coat each one in the gut and protect them from diseases such as an ulcer. Studies also suggest that sea moss provides prebiotic benefits during the digestion process. This includes functions such as removing bad gut bacteria, boosting gut immunity, and stimulating short-chain fatty acid production. Plus, sea moss is loaded with healthy dietary fiber. Getting enough of these every day is important so you can flush out harmful toxins and chemicals in your body. Improves Libido Levels and Sexual Performance Caribbean natives have been using sea moss as a natural
aphrodisiac for years now. Its high zinc content allows the body to produce more sex hormones, which play a key role in boosting libido levels. Also, the iron found in sea moss can help increase your endurance. It’ll pump your body with hemoglobin and keep the oxygen flowing throughout your bloodstream. Eases Joint Swelling The fish oils and fatty acids found in sea moss are excellent anti-inflammatory agents. They can help reduce joint swelling, improve flexibility, and promote overall mobility. Some of the people who can benefit from these include: Arthritis Patients: Try drinking sea moss shakes along with your arthritis medication. Doing so may give you more control over your joint inflammation and swelling. Athletes: Speed up joint recovery by drinking post-workout sea moss shakes. It will help with joint fluid production to keep your limbs loose and nimble. The Elderly: The body becomes more prone to inflammation as it ages. You can help suppress swelling by drinking antiinflammatory supplements such as sea moss. Supports Anemia Treatment Poor oxygen levels in your blood will negatively affect your hemoglobin and red blood cell count. To prevent the issue from worsening and turning into anemia, make sure you eat iron-rich foods such as sea moss. Iron is a very important mineral when it comes to fighting anemia. In fact, anemic patients heavily rely on iron supplements and medication for their treatment. Speeds Up Weight Loss The high iodine content of sea moss can stimulate the production of thyroid hormones, these control your appetite and metabolism. Plus, sea moss retains water making you feel full and suppressing cravings. To make the most of its weight loss benefits, try adding sea moss to your favorite diet shakes. You can even use it as a meal replacement if you really want to shed fat fast. Note: Talk to a nutritionist right away if you experience fatigue or tiredness while following a low-calorie diet. Not everyone is capable of functioning on a limited supply of calories and carbs. Soothes Skin Complications You can use the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of sea moss to help ease skin problems such as psoriasis, burns, dermatitis, and eczema. It has a rich, creamy, gel-like texture that’s soothing to the skin. Improves Blood Circulation Sea moss can help improve blood circulation by easing inflammation and creating a pathway for your blood to flow through. Good blood circulation can lead to better focus, spiked energy levels, and a stronger libido. There are various studies that show the number of trace minerals in the human body numbers as much as 102. However, some believe that this is actually 103. Regardless of where the number actually sits, seamoss holds a staggering 92 trace minerals that are found in the human body. Overall it promotes Health and Wellness in general so don’t be afraid to pop in a smoothie or ask for it in health food shops today.

Developing Equanimity Towards Others A simple way of describing “equanimity,” is the capacity to not be caught up with what happens to us, this doesn’t mean being detached or aloof, but rather having balanced emotion toward all living things and toward all inanimate things. With equanimity we develop the power to see things as they are without getting caught up by what we see. Through the practice of equanimity, we develop an inner calm and happiness.
Strangers can turn into either friends or enemies; remember everyone was stranger until you met them.
So when we think of living beings, our aim is to develop equal concern, equal regard, for everyone, for their well-being, whether they help or harm us, and to see that the labels that we put on others are often arbitrary, mistaken, and changeable. We need to overcome our prejudiced attitude of favouring certain people, being indifferent to some, and hostile to others. Here is a meditation to help us develop this view.
The relationship of friend, disagreeable person and stranger change constantly, one person can be all three within a short space of time: these categories are totally fluid and changeable, and there is no valid basis for our discrimination between them, wishing good things for our friend, bad things towards our enemy and being totally indifferent to the fate of the stranger.
The person we do not like may be someone else’s partner, child, or parent, and so are loved by others. Equally the person we do like, others may not like. The differences we see in people are superficial, based only on our mistaken and narrow self-centred views.
Adopt a comfortable position and spend a few moments relaxing and settling the body and mind. Concentrate on the breath for one or two minutes until your mind is calm and clear.
Conclude your meditation thinking: Your friend, enemy, and stranger are merely labels you attach to others and they all want happiness just as much as you do, in this respect, we are all equal. In fact, everyone is equal in deserving our care and compassion.
Visualise in front of you three people: a friend, someone you have difficulty with and a stranger.
Wishing you Peace and Happiness
First, focus on your friend and ask yourself “why do I feel attachment for my friend?” Then ask yourself “why do I feel aversion to the difficult person?” Finally ask yourself “why you feel so indifferent to the stranger?” In each case spend a few minutes thinking of the reasons you have come up with
Bill Seymour Buddhist Practitioner
Then think on what basis have I labelled these people as a friend, enemy or stranger? It’s likely our thoughts are based on what they do or don’t do for ME. Are they good, bad or indifferent from their own side or is it my mind which is categorising them is this way? Now focus on the friend, your experience tells you that a wrong word or act can turn them into an enemy. Remember that before you were friends your attitude towards them was the same as your attitude to the person you label as ‘stranger’. In the same way, focus on the disagreeable person and think about how a kind word a mutual interest may turn them into a friend.

Hot tubs are not just a way to relax, they are so much more! Did you know that there are real health benefits from using a hot tub on a regular basis? Reduces joint stiffness
Anyone with arthritis knows that applying heat to the joint will ease the pain. The Arthritis Research Campaign recommends using the hot tub as the source of that heat.
Theraputic
Hot tub jets provide therapeutic massage, stimulating the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkiller. Why not try one of our aromatherapy oils to compliment your relaxation?
Better Sleep
Soaking in a Wellis hot tub, maybe chilling to your favourite song, will help ease your mind, relax your body and so aid restful sleep.
Can help weight loss
In clinical studies patients who used hot tubs lost an average of 3.5 pounds in weight without any new diet or physical exercise programmes. The weight loss was said to be from the hot water massage simulating the effects of exercise on the muscles.
Lower blood sugar levels
Working on the theory mentioned above were the hot tub simulates exercise, studies show that patients with type 2 diabetes who soak in a Wellis hot tub for 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week for 3 weeks, experience a reduction in blood sugar levels by an average of 13%.
Reduces blood pressure
A recent study at the Mayo Clinic recommended that relaxing in a hot tub can be beneficial for heart disease patients. It demonstrated that soaking in the hot tub for as little as 15 minutes will lower blood pressure.
Stress relief
Stress results in muscle tension, headaches, fatigue and soreness. Regular Wellis Hot Tubs use eases pressure in joints and muscles, while the heat increases blood flow to muscles and accelerates healing.
Next time you relax in your Wellis hot tub from The Hot Tub Place, just think about the wonderful health benefits you are treating yourself to!

We are excited to be able to offer you this exclusive product! Set to become 2020’s most innovative product. We are one of the first exclusive stockists of the clinically proven fat reduction, made by a biochemical engineer and a lovely local lady!
By drinking water during and after the application, the gel and liquid fat solution leaves the body naturally. Over a 5 day period, 10 to 15 inches of fat can be lost. It had a 3 year clinical trial prior and 99.95% lost fat from the skin matrix, we have exclusivity of the product here in Heswall.
I can personally say I am in awe of this lady, her scientific knowledge and understanding of products and the skin is unreal! It’s been three years in development and statistics show, via the placebo, it is a fat remover not a dehydrate. Liquid Lipo in a bottle? I know it sounds too good to be true.
But How? Could this really work I thought?
After scanning and examining the years of research and results, I was surprised at the facts, research and evidence and even more impressed to view the THOUSANDS of results.
What is Liquid Lipo?
It’s a clinically proven gel that goes into the pores of the skin. Often through the skin layers and into the subcutaneous tissue, there are blockages or dead fat cells. These cells are only able to absorb more fat, they cannot be broken down or metabolised. Once the gel reaches beneath the surface under the dermis, it begins to open, breakdown or liquify the fat cells.
LIQUID LIPO 250mls
RRP - £250
OUR PRICE
£99
Over the 2 hour period, the gel will aim to get through 1 to 2 inches of the aforementioned fat allowing it to merge with the gel.

Grief is our natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. Despite us all experiencing grief at one time or another we are all different in how we process our emotions. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming, leaving you to feel that you will never be the same again. You may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, fear and of course a profound sadness. The pain of grief can also affect your physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, and causing panic attacks and anxiety. Often leaving you thinking there is no way to carry on. These are normal reactions to loss-and the more significant the loss, the more intense your grief will be. There is no set time that grief is with us, the grief you experience is as individual as you are. Coping with the loss of someone you love is one of the most difficult stages of life. We are Jamie & Sarah, As Independent Funeral Celebrants we offer an alternative approach to the traditional funeral service, allowing the loved ones to express their love in a personal way, respecting their beliefs in a place of their choosing. We believe that being able to have a personalised service is the first step towards the healing process, which is why we find it’s so important that the choice of the service of your loved one is Your choice.

The Science of It would appear that although there has been an evolution of psychology over the past two decades with the emergence of positive psychology (the science of happiness), there has not been the reduction of mental health issues in society that you would expect with such concepts being developed, communicated to the world, and more readily available than ever before. In fact, statistics suggest quite the opposite with the percentage of the British population (children, young people and adults) with Mental Health issues continuously rising. The reasons for this rise are multiple, and on another day could be discussed, individually, at length, however, I do believe an element of responsibility lies with the lack of education in emotional intelligence for children and families. When I say emotional intelligence I am referring to the understanding and awareness of ones own emotions and the development of strategies in dealing with these emotions as and when they rear their heads.
The education system has been so preoccupied with ensuring the next generation produce optimal academic results each year that unfortunately the concepts of understanding the importance of ones own well-being has plummeted to the bottom of the priority list which, apparently, does not bode well for the future. The pressures of the modern world we now find ourselves in would suggest that the development of understanding yourself, and how to maintain positive mental health and well-being, is as crucial now as it has ever been; if not even more so. However, it would seem that the focus pendulum of the education system is now beginning to swing in the direction of building character, resilience, positivity and emotional intelligence in children and young people.

When the Katy Bird was appointed as Headteacher of Leasowe Primary School in 2016 she had a vision of creating the most inclusive mainstream school in Britain with a primary focus on teaching and developing emotional intelligence, positivity, resilience and mental strength whilst still delivering a quality academic education. It very quickly became clear that strategic moves needed to be made to support the positive mental health and well-being of not just it the pupils and staff, but also the families and community. This became the key priority that everything else hinged upon. Part of many strategic moves from the headteacher was to develop my role as the Pastoral Care / Mental Health & Wellbeing Manager and task me to lead a development of whole school and individual approaches to support the mental health and well-being of ALL stakeholders involved not only in the school, but throughout the local community.

Happiness! Three years later in October 2019 Leasowe Primary were one of the first schools to be inspected under the new OFSTED framework and were rated as ‘Outstanding in Personal Development’; a huge achievement and step towards the headteachers ambitions. This inspection proved that, although there has been little change in regards to the massively high expectations for academic achievement through ‘one size fits all’ testing, there is now a massive emphasis on developing character, personality, resilience and strength of mind. This specific criteria of the inspection is measured by how well they deem the school to be supporting children in developing their character by way of; self reflection, understanding how to, and the link between, keeping physically and mentally healthy and essentially if schools are equipping children to become positive, contributing, respectful members of society.
However, the issue that appears to be immediately presented is this: how do schools do this? What systems and strategies do they put in place and how do they do this on a whole school basis? It would seem that schools are now being given the destination they need to arrive at, but with no compass; being left to their own devices to conjure up the systems, structures and strategies that they believe are appropriate and effective. This is a difficult task given that schools have for so long been given the prime, number one objective to achieve the highest possible grades through testing at the end of key stages; now they have to think outside the box to ensure that emotional intelligence, resilience and mental strength is being taught too. Although this is a great leap in the right direction, more solid direction and support is needed to create a feel of consistency and togetherness. At Leasowe Primary we found solutions before we were advised to because of the ethos presented by the headteacher; we were already focusing on what we believed children and young people need to succeed in life. We developed a Mental Health & Well-being Register that is informed by an in-house referral system, introduced specific, specialised staff coaching to support staff well-being and maintain inclusive practice, created an inclusive ethos throughout the school through wholesale changes, specific approaches and staff training, introduced weekly whole class emotional intelligence sessions through H;APT - a company who teach self management and well-being strategies to children and young people and we also developed a Family Liason Officer role which has now become an absolute necessity for family well-being support. Although we knew what we were doing was good, we wanted to make it better, pull it together into the complete whole school approach to personal development and positive mental health and wellbeing for all stakeholders. We then introduced The Rest Easy Method. This method and approach gave us a way to umbrella our structures and strategies and embed the teachings and practice of emotional intelligence into our curriculum and community on a daily basis to create positive habits for all; a positive way of talking, thinking and behaving for children, families and staff that we all use as part of a lifestyle.
The structures and systems we have developed, discovered and implemented are now flagship for the future of teaching and developing emotional intelligence in children and young people. Pupils and families who were not engaged, happy or achieving are now actively engaged with school, have gained momentum in finding their happiness and are supportive of each other within the community using the positive structures developed with school. Children who were previously trapped in a cycle of negative and challenging behaviours are now displaying respectful, happy demeanours with a desire to learn and support others. Understanding and regulating emotions is so embedded within the curriculum at Leasowe Primary that all pupils, staff and families are using the same language, techniques and strategies on a day to day basis; everybody is singing from the same hymn sheet and an increase in positive well-being in the school and community is evident for all to see. Moving forward, through a solid passion and belief in what we do at Leasowe, and a need to share our practice and methods to benefit others, paired with a strategic action plan of implementation, we have developed an outreach department to consult with other schools across Wirral. Additionally, we have developed a partnership and focus group with the therapeutic team from a local outstanding SEN residential school with a plan to distribute outstanding methods, structures, strategies and practice to all schools who engage. This is with a vision to create consistent approaches throughout the borough and beyond that will become embedded in the ethos and curriculum to promote positive mental health and well-being for all stakeholders. Our belief at Leasowe Primary is that sharing practice and developing a solid structure nationally to embed the teaching of emotional intelligence, character, resilience and mental strength is the way forward for the education system; the next step. Methods that work, created by experts and delivered by the experts on the front line. Proven ways to embed the education of emotional intelligence into the curriculum at no cost to any academic learning should be used to support the next generation of the nation to become the happiest, most resilient version of themselves as they venture into the world.
