My kingdom for an M10 1.25 bolt so I can use the air compressor to remove the last stuck part on the bike brakes, some good weather coming so looking forward to hopefully getting to use it this week. #spring #ireandedunorde #motorcycles #ebikes #wellbeing #fitness #clearheadblueskies #suzukibandit #mechanicaladventures #classicmachines #family #countrylife #antithesis

'Relational #WellBeing of Female #Workers in Low-Skilled Jobs in #Ethiopia' - an article in 'Zanj: The Journal of Critical #GlobalSouth #Studies' by Pluto Journals on #ScienceOpen: scienceopen.com/hosted-documen

ScienceOpenRelational Well-being of Female Workers in Low-Skilled Jobs in Ethiopia<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d5717520e149">With the expansion of global production networks (GPNs) in Africa, more women are becoming employed in low-skilled and labor-intensive jobs. Most studies on workers in GPNs focus on work conditions and their impact on production and network effectiveness, while placing less emphasis on the relational well-being of local industrial workers. Employing a relational well-being approach that considers the multiple dimensions of people’s lives (the material, subjective, and relational), we explore how female workers experience their well-being in foreign-owned flower and apparel sectors operating in Ethiopia. Based on in-depth interviews with thirty-nine female employees, we find that women value the different types of social relationships they have. Coworkers, friends, family, and members of the broader community are important for the women’s well-being, supporting them materially and subjectively, and enabling them to cope with work and life difficulties. Relationships with supervisors and employers, however, can negatively impact well-being, especially through the stress they can cause, while the social and political environment also has a negative effect on overall well-being. </p>

Another slower running month, but I could still give the proverbial butcher’s dog a run for its money!

March has been about taking it easy on my hamstring. I’ve held back from all speedwork, which has meant a drop in overall pace — and in turn, my VO₂ max has slipped from a high of 50 in December to 44.8. That’s to be expected, though.

Europe heads into summer time this weekend. Depending on where you are this may change the times for some of our free online live meditation sessions.

Add some peace, calm and compassion to the flow of your day. 🧘

The World is Kinder than we Think

[Read on Ethical Revolution]

The recently published 2025 World Happiness Report (the 13th edition of the report) has focussed on the impact of caring and sharing on people’s happiness.

Drawing on a study by Oxford University’s Wellbeing Research Centre showing that people are a lot kinder than we might otherwise expect, the research also shows that the more we believe in the kindness of others the happier we will be ourselves.

So do we find ourselves in an unnecessary viscous circle here? And how can we break free? It would appear that the 24 hour news cycle keeps many of us locked in a state of negativity and can harbour the sort of overstated mistrust referred to in the report. A small shift in habit – in the way we consume the information – can make it possible to escape this endless negative cycle whilst remaining connected with world events.

Who is Happiest?

For the eighth successive year Finland has topped the list of the ‘happiest countries’. The UK is 23rd and the USA is 24th – both dropping from previous years.

The director of Oxford’s Wellbeing Research Centre, Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, who is also professor of economics at the University of Oxford, and an editor of the World Happiness Report, said:

“This year’s report pushes us to look beyond traditional determinants like health and wealth. It turns out that sharing meals and trusting others are even stronger predictors of wellbeing than expected. In this era of social isolation and political polarisation we need to find ways to bring people around the table again — doing so is critical for our individual and collective wellbeing.”
