COMMUNITY BUZZ THURSDAY
By Denisia Adams
Hello and welcome again to the Morning Cruise’s show update taking palce every afternoon on the BLOG.

Today was Community Buzz Thursday. Checked it out:

WORD(s) OF THE DAY

PERIL
: Exposure to the risk of harm or loss; Something that endangers or involves risk.

S.A TRIVIA QUESTION
Of the 9 South African provinces, which is the smallest?

Answer: Gauteng

DID YOU KNOW (www.didyouknow.org)
Hiccups happen when the diaphragm, the muscle that controls our breathing, becomes irritated and start to spasm and contract uncontrollably. The irritation can be caused by rapid eating, emotional stress and even some diseases. The best cure? Breathing into a paper bag. This calms the diaphragm by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream.

TIP OF THE DAY
How to Deal With Depression After Losing a Job
Step 1
Seek professional help if needed. First and foremost is to seek help from those that are trained to do so. Talking to a therapist is nothing to be ashamed about; they are there to help you. You may be able to find low-cost counseling or your previous employer may offer services. If you can’t speak with a pro, a good venting session with a friend is always beneficial.

Step 2
Get active. You would be surprised at how a good run around the block helps with anxiety. Exercise releases endorphins and relieves stress. Getting more exercise will also get you in shape. This is a wonderful way to use extra time and relieve stress—and make fitness a priority.

Step 3
Be open with your loved ones. Talk to your family. This is not the time to be proud or shoulder the burden. Your loved ones are going to need to know the facts if they are going to help you. Be completely open with your feelings and your family will appreciate you for it.

Step 4
Talk to friends. It’s easy to abandon your friends after losing your job, but having your friends around will make it easier for you. Some of them might be in the same boat as you. Hiding in your house doesn’t solve the problems. Get out in the world and socialize. This is also a great opportunity to spend time with the pals that you wouldn’t normally have time for.
