Our third episode of Season 2, 'Train yourself happy', is all about exercise and mental health, and features two brand new guests on the pod. We hope you enjoy listening. If you have any specific questions about this podcast, please email: [email protected]

This week's episode looks at what some of the simple pleasures of life are, and how we incorporate the five ways to wellbeing into our every day lives. We also talk about what we mean by simple pleasures, and about the fact that sometimes we can over complicate things slightly when we really don't need to! 

Our first episode of the ORC Podcast Series 2, 'Hope is the thing with feathers' is about how the everyday pleasure of watching birds can increase our sense of hope and wellbeing.

The 5th Episode of the Oxfordshire Recovery College Podcast. This week we focused on sleep, this was a fascinating insight into how sleep can have such a positive and negative impact on many functions of the body and mental health. 

As mentioned in the podcast for those listening who are in the Thames Valley area you can access the Sleepio app with a range of exercises to help you with your sleep: www.sleepio.com/NHS

 We hope you enjoy and get a restful night sleep.

Our 4th episode is slightly extended because we did a podcast from our kitchens! 

We looked at how to cook during the current lock down as well as cooking on a budget. 

Alongside of this we made a Tuna mousse! (souffle to some!) 

Recipe below:

1 can of tuna 

2 eggs 

4 table spoons of Mayonnaise

1/2 pint of milk

110 grams of cheese 

Mix it all in a bowl, decant to some oven proof dishes and pop in the over for between 15 and 20 minutes! 

Easy peasy lemon squeezie....

This is our hat-trick (3rd) episode of the Oxfordshire Recovery College Podcast. We are joined by three co-hosts, two of whom are students of the College. In this episode we discuss how it feels to have a panic attack, including tips and techniques that can help you with this. One of these tips is Mindfulness, which comes onto our second section of this episode in which we are joined by Dr Vernon (Clinical Psychologist) to guide us through a short mindfulness session.
