The Power of Stillness

Many of us will be getting ready to go on holiday and will have been busy with all the preparations, stresses and responsibilities that this can bring. So perhaps this is a good time to look at what 'being still' can bring to our lives during the next few weeks of August? Tracey Collins, Wellbeing Officer for the South West Peninsula District, shares this blog.

The Power of stillness

Today is International Left-Handers Day!

Approximately 10% of the population are left-handed.

Historically, left-handedness has been viewed negatively in many cultures, often associated with awkwardness and even evil. Children were often forced to use their right hands for tasks when they would naturally use their left hand.

Fortunately, much has changed, and nowadays many products are available to buy, such as left-handed scissors, tin openers, corkscrews, peelers and even knives (serrations on the right side).

Yet still the world seems made for right-handed people. Have you noticed that the slots/readers at ticket barriers at train stations are on the right? Or glasses at a table laid for a meal are always on the right? (So, I end up drinking someone else's drink!).

International Left-Handers Awareness Day seeks to raise awareness about the difficulties that left-handers encounter, such as using tools, devices, and products designed for right-handed users. By highlighting these issues, the day encourages the development of more inclusive designs and fosters greater understanding of the left-handed experience.
