How Getting Dressed Up (Or Not) To Sit At Home All Day Affects Your Mood
Most of us have spent nearly a year sheltering in place, and as a result, many of us have ditched jeans for sweatpants. But psychologists believe that even when nobody else will see us, how we dress has the power to influence our mental health as well as our general productivity. And the actual impact of getting dressed up or down varies from person to person. Tracy Thomas is a psychologist and says putting effort into your appearance, even the tiniest bit, is “one of the most important things people can do for their emotional, mental, and psychological health.” She says daily grooming rituals are a sign of “celebrating life,” and says these little celebrations are especially important right now. Licensed clinical psychologist Sheva Assar adds, “If we’re wearing athleisure when working out, going to brunch, outside and when working, it could potentially impact our ability to transition into work mode when we’re wanting to focus on work. So what we’re wearing helps us in making those transitions.” The experts add that creative types in particular might feel the emotional benefits of their wardrobe more than non-creative people. The final piece of advice: pick clothing and grooming practices that make you feel the most confident and comfortable.

Is There A Perfect Time To Work Out? Science Seems To Think So
You may wonder if there’s really an optimal time to do a work out, and science seems to think there is. A study published in 2020 found a correlation between exercising between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. and a reduction in the risk of certain types of cancer (but the study was small and cannot prove causation). Another study found that people were able to work out harder in the evening, while other studies suggest that afternoon and evenings are when your reaction time is at its quickest. But the take-home message here is that the benefits of working out are numerous, and so the best type of workout is one that you’ll do regularly. And note, if you’re trying to make it a habit, it helps to choose a timeslot that you’re likely to stick to every day.

Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office Receives National Recognition for Simultaneous Accreditation
Under the leadership of Sheriff Kevin J. Joyce, who took office in 2010, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office became one of four Sheriff’s Office’s nationwide to be awarded the National Sheriff’s Association Triple Crown Award in 2020.
The Triple Crown Award was established by the National Sheriff’s Association to recognize those sheriff’s offices, which achieve simultaneous accreditation from three accrediting bodies, The Commission on the Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, the American Correctional Association’s Commission on Accreditation for Corrections, and the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare. Currently, there are a total of 3,081 Sheriff’s Offices in the United States. Only 68 other Sheriffs’ Offices have ever attained this award since the award was established in 1993. The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is the only agency in Maine to have received this award. Accreditation is a team effort that involves all agency personnel.
This is a significant accomplishment that the Sheriff’s Office personnel should be commended on for the ongoing pursuit of excellence in public safety.
The Cumberland County Jail was the State of Maine’s first adult detention facility to have achieved accreditation from the American Correctional Association in 2002. In 2005, the agency became accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare illustrating their commitment to providing nationally accepted standards of care in health services delivery to the inmates housed in the facility.
In 2015, the agency became accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies for demonstrating compliance with the best practices related to life, health, and safety procedures for the agency and ensuring law enforcement is prepared to meet basic community service expectations and manage critical events. The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is committed to maintaining the pursuit of best practices in law enforcement, corrections, and public service.
