Fit Brain Dragon: What a depressing election. I'm sick of the sanctioned dishonesty

Welcome to Fit Brain Dragon

Welcome to my Blog and to musings, wisdom (perhaps) and other stuff from my world of Mental Health and Dragon Boat Racing in Adelaide, South Australia.

Mental Health is but one aspect of overall health and shares this Blog (and my mind) with Dragon Boat Racing, an accessible fitness activity that I have chosen for myself. I am not alone in my conviction that you can not have health without having mental health. It is also true, though less often said, that you can't have mental health without having physical health.

This rather obvious relationship is surprisingly missed too often by too many. This Blog will feature my thoughts about mental health and about the value of Dragon Boat Racing in my life.

In my experience as a Mental Health Nurse and a Counsellor many people with chronic health problems such as Diabetes, Arthritis and Depression may find enormous advantage in linking themselves to medical and other supports as well as a team sport such as Dragon Boat Racing.

It has been demonstrated in Type 2 (late onset)Diabetes for example that a proper routine of diet and exercise is a more effective first line treatment than medications.

What a depressing election. I'm sick of the sanctioned dishonesty

I watch some TV and I listen to some radio and despite my best efforts I get exposed to the crap served up by our media. I try really hard to turn off any politician.
I can't tell whom I blame most, stupid politicians or stupid journalists. Ah Ha...it just came to me. Journalists who report mealie mouthed valueless political spin despite the fact that they know that it is devoid of fact, commitment, value and honesty! I think I value them less than politicians.
When there is so much that could be said and done to engineer decent outcomes for Australians and the world, I find the current process insulting and nauseating.
AND.....when we listen to them I think we sanction them.
Give us action that produces the likelihood of more happy health Australians I say!
