Sorry Avril, the DOI is broken

Please see this paper on potential dangers in recruiting for research. Too good to be true: Hidden challenges of online research recruitment. British Journal of Occupational Therapy. 2025;0(0). doi:10.1177/03080226251323062

"Finding #RecoveryThroughActivity was 'a lightbulb moment'. It represents everything that occupational therapists do well, and enables us to provide greater parity across mental health and learning disability services. The handbook is a must-read for all occupation-centred providers"

Hi Kate, great to see you! Much less toxic here, I deactivated my x. How are you keeping?

The degree to which I perceive my abilities shapes my personal causation, influencing my volition. When I see myself as competent, I act with confidence, enhancing engagement and well-being

#PersonalCausation
#Importance
Personal Causation is related to self-esteem, health & well-being.

The World Health Organisation's definition of mental health (2022) starts by saying it is, 'A state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities ...'

You're stranded on an island with the squad, which team mate would: 1.lead? 2.first to panic? 3.best at building shelter? 4.be the hunter? 5.be most useless at surviving?6. would eat all the emergency supplies? 7.be morale booster? 8.would take on a bear?

It sounds like you're showing a lot of resilience in managing your fatigue and continuing to keep going—you’re clearly driven by your values and goals despite the challenges. Be sure to acknowledge your efforts!

I'm fine thanks, battling the much needed positive lifestyle changes haha 😄 😆 how are you?

Reflecting on my own 'battles' @mohospark.bsky.social haha 😄

According to MOHO, change begins with meaningful goals (volition), aligning new behaviours with routines (habituation), and adapting skills and environments to support engagement. Practice fosters mastery, embedding habits into roles and identity.

Thank you

Few more days of 2024 🦋

#2025 countdown begins

Parliament does not need to be a place. It is a process focused on considering legislation and holding the government to account. Instead of spending billions on the Palace of Westminster, they should move it online and have MPs based in their constituencies.
