Thought for the week ...

KBS Graduations

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS
to all those students from Kent Business School
who graduated yesterday. 
I was sooooooooo sorry not to be there
to celebrate with you 😪😪😪

 
The lovely Adenike, from Nigeria

Well done, Unnimaya (from India)

Congratulations Himanshu (from India)

I LOVE to EAT :-)

Hospitality is a wonderful thing 💖  

It was such a privilege for Pauline and I to be invited to Akhil's place for a super scrumdidilyumptious Indian meal. Not only did it taste divine, but it was so professionally presented.  We felt like queens 👑👑

Going clockwise around the rice from 2pm  ...  green beans, chicken fried, chicken curry, dried seasoned beef, pickled plums & cucumber.








And for dessert, carrot halwa.


All so very, very tasty ... but apparently just one third of their normal spice level 😱😱😱

We miss you, but we're so happy for you!!!

TABLEtalk - Stress Management

Despite lower numbers at TABLEtalk last night, we had some really valuable discussion around the topic of Stress Management.  

We talked about ...

  • a definition of stress
  • how it affects us in body, mind, emotions and behaviour
  • identifying triggers
  • managing stress
I especially loved the definitions that the students, themselves, came up with.
"It's a reduction of 
our mental fitness 
due to workload."
"An event which triggers an
emotional and physical
state of mind and causes disruption."
"An agitated state of mind
which makes an individual
uncomfortable and uneasy due
to internal or external pressure."

Here are some of the thoughts students had about ways to de-stress (it's an excellent list) ...

Additionally, during the course of the evening Desh wrote this paper, which was in-line with my own Top Ten Tips for Stress Management ...

Three ⭐⭐⭐ for Desh 😀
