Mein Blog “Zum Glück Blind!”

Zum Glück blind!

Bitte was? Ja, ich habe meinen Blog tatsächlich "Zum Glück blind!" genannt. Hierfür gibt es mindestens zwei Gründe:

  1. Ohne die Blindheit wäre ich heute nicht die, die ich bin.
  2. Auch mein Leben ist sehr bunt - vielleicht auch deshalb, weil ich nichts sehe.

Ich könnte auch schreiben: Ich bin blind, und das ist gut so!

Ohne die Erblindung wäre mein Leben sicher anders verlaufen. Ich hätte eine andere Schule besucht, vielleicht wäre ich nie nach Kiel oder Halle (Saale) gezogen, hätte vermutlich andere Menschen kennen gelernt, vielleicht auch andere Fähigkeiten und andere Interessen entwickelt. Es wäre sicher einiges anders gekommen. Aber das ist unerheblich, denn so wie es ist, ist es schön!

Ja, auch wenn man nichts sieht, kann das Leben sehr schön und bunt sein. Rosarot und himmelblau ist es aber natürlich nicht. Wie jeder andere Mensch sehe auch ich mich den verschiedensten Herausforderungen gegenüber. Manchmal stehe ich mir selbst im Weg, und dann sind da auch immer wieder diverse Barrieren, die ein selbstbestimmtes Leben erschweren. Auch wenn ich beste Voraussetzungen habe und sie daher meist sportlich nehme, sind es eben genau diese Barrieren, die mich deutlich unglücklicher machen als die Tatsache, dass ich nichts sehe.

Okay, die Blindheit stand auf meinem Wunschzettel auch nicht ganz oben, aber sie gehört zu mir und sie hat mich geprägt - doch nicht nur die Blindheit!

Ich in Kürze

Ich bin zwar mit 1,58 Metern Körpergröße nicht sehr groß geraten, wer ich bin, das lässt sich aber unmöglich in Kürze beschreiben. Die einzelnen Blogeinträge, die ich künftig hier veröffentlichen werde, werden nach und nach ein Bild von mir zeichnen. Für heute erst einmal ein paar Eckdaten.

Name: Nadine Wettstein;

Geburtsjahr und -ort: 1978 in Heidelberg;

Sehbehinderung: Drastische Sehverschlechterung mit 13 Jahren, Erblindung mit 18 Jahren;

Studium: Ökotrophologie (Haushalts- und Ernährungswissenschaften) in Kiel;

Berufserfahrung: Wiss. Mitarbeiterin in den Agrar- und Ernährungswissenschaften;

Heutiger Beruf/Berufung: Freie Dozentin und Beraterin für Inklusion;

Interessen: Lesen, Reisen, Sport und Kultur, ehrenamtliches Engagement, Natur und Lisa …

Erläuterung: Lisa, Lieschen, Stinki oder Stinker ist meist an meiner Seite. Auch wenn man es vielleicht nicht immer glauben mag, sie ist ein ausgebildeter Blindenführhund und ein verrücktes Huhn. Sie liebt Bananen, weshalb vielleicht auch ein Äffchen in ihr steckt. Alles in allem ist sie ein großer Schatz und ich werde mit Sicherheit noch häufiger von ihr schreiben.

Die Tatsache, dass ich nichts sehen kann - wirklich gar nichts - beeinflusst die Art und Weise wie ich lebe, wie ich meinen Hobbies nachgehe, wie ich meinen Beruf ausübe. Es ändert aber nichts daran, dass ich meinen Beruf mit Leidenschaft ausübe und mit viel Freude meinen Interessen nachgehe - und genau hierüber werde ich monatlich in diesem Blog schreiben. Auch wenn einmal etwas nicht funktioniert, werde ich dies hier nicht verschweigen. Wer allerdings mehr über Augenerkrankungen lesen möchte, der ist hier falsch. Zum einen fehlt mir hierzu das medizinische Fachwissen, zum anderen gibt es aus meiner Sicht deutlich spannenderes: das Leben!

    Whole grains are rich in nutrients and fiber, which help manage blood sugar levels and

    and legumes in your diet. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth.

    - **Reduce Processed Foods:** Cut down on processed foods high in sugars, salts,
    and unhealthy fats. Choose fresh, whole foods when possible.

    - **Stay Hydrated:** Ensure drink plenty of water all day long to stay hydrated.
    Proper hydration is crucial for keeping up energy levels and supporting body
    functions.

    ### 2. Regular Physical Activity

    Engaging in regular physical activity is essential for general health.
    Physical activity helps keeping a healthy weight,
    boosting cardiovascular health, and enhancing mental well-being.
    Think about following these exercise tips:

    - **Cardiovascular Exercises:** Include various cardiovascular
    exercises like running, biking, and swimming.
    Strive for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise
    per week.
    - **Strength Training:** Add strength training exercises at least two days a
    week. Emphasize targeting all major muscle groups for
    building and maintain muscle mass.
    - **Flexibility and Mobility:** Include flexibility and mobility
    exercises such as stretching and yoga for improving range of motion and avoiding injuries.

    - **Stay Active Throughout the Day:** Steer clear of prolonged periods of sitting.
    Break up long sitting periods to stand up, stretch, and walk.
    Think about using a standing desk or taking short walks on breaks.

    - **Find Activities You Enjoy:** Choose exercises that you enjoy to ensure you stick with a regular fitness routine.

    Whether it’s playing sports, hiking, or dancing,
    find what works for you.

    ### Psychological Well-Being

    Mental wellness is just as important as physical health.
    Men often ignore their mental well-being, but taking
    measures to manage stress and maintain a positive mindset is vital.
    Here are some mental health tips:

    - **Practice Mindfulness and Meditation:** Mindfulness and meditation can assist in reducing stress and improve overall mental
    health. Spend a few minutes each day doing deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation.
    - **Stay Connected:** Keep strong social connections with friends,
    family, and colleagues. Social support is essential for mental well-being and can assist in reducing feelings
    of loneliness and isolation.
    - **Seek Professional Help:** If you’re struggling with mental
    health issues such as depression or anxiety, don’t hesitate
    to seek help from a mental health professional.
    Therapy and counseling can offer valuable support and coping strategies.

    - **Set Realistic Goals:** Establishing and achieving realistic goals
    can boost self-esteem and give a sense of accomplishment.

    Break larger goals into smaller, achievable steps.

    ### 4. Preventive Care

    Routine check-ups and preventive care are crucial for detecting potential health issues early and preserving overall health.
    Think about these preventive care tips:

    - **Plan Regular Health Screenings:** Regular screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood
    sugar, and prostate health can help detecting issues early.
    Follow your doctor’s recommendations for
    routine check-ups.
    - **Get Vaccinated:** Keep current with vaccinations, including the flu shot and other
    recommended vaccines. Vaccinations assist in protecting against preventable diseases.

    - **Monitor Your Health:** Pay attention any changes
    in your body and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor.
    Early detection of health issues can lead to more
    effective treatment.
    - **Adopt Healthy Habits:** Avoid smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, and
    practice safe sex. These habits can significantly
    lower the risk of various health problems.

    ### Quality Sleep

    Quality sleep is essential for general health. It allows the body
    to repair and recharge, supports cognitive function,
    and improves mood. Consider these tips for better sleep:

    - **Stick to a Sleep Schedule:** Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.
    Consistency helps control your body’s sleep-wake cycle.

    - **Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine:** Establish a calming routine before bed, such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or doing relaxation techniques.

    - **Limit Screen Time:** Minimize exposure to screens at least an hour before bedtime.
    The blue light emitted by phones, tablets, and computers can interfere with
    sleep.
    - **Make Your Bedroom Conducive to Sleep:** Ensure your bedroom is dark, quiet,
    and cool. Use comfortable bedding and think about using earplugs or a white noise machine if noise
    is an issue.

    ### 6. Managing Stress

    Successful stress management is crucial for general wellness.

    Long-term stress can take a toll on both mental and physical health.
    Here are some stress management tips:

    - **Identify Stress Triggers:** Understand what causes stress in your life and find ways to reduce
    or manage these triggers.
    - **Practice Relaxation Techniques:** Incorporate relaxation techniques such as deep
    breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or visualization to reduce stress levels.

    - **Stay Active:** Physical activity is a great way to reduce stress.

    Regular exercise releases endorphins, which boost mood and encourage relaxation.
    - **Maintain a Healthy Work-Life Balance:** Strive for a balance between work and personal life.
    Take time for hobbies, relaxation, and spending time with
    loved ones.

    By incorporating these tips and strategies into your daily routine, men can boost
    their wellness and achieve a balanced lifestyle. Always remember that health
    is an ongoing process, and making small, consistent changes can result in major
    improvements over time.
