Racial narratives in the media really do need to change in the UK. Awareness of this inherent bias needs to be improved - journalism module 101?
We all of course know and understand that Table-tennis is one of the noblest sports ever invented, high-level in every possible way. Therefore it is interesting to note whether sports psychology approaches to emotion regulation might transfer over to us mere mortals..

Interesting research published where increasing awareness of internal body processes (heartbeat or breathing etc), might help promote a more positive body image. Mindfulness or ACT spring to mind for this. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3077… #angliaruskin #mentalhealth #psychology
