Self care - easy to say, sometimes hard to do, here are a few ideas to start the week with

‘Doing the best we can…’ 💛

Mother's Day can be a difficult time of the year for many, sending love to those who need it today 💛

Welcome February 💚
day with Mind

It’s day 📣

1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year. And too many of us are made to feel isolated, worthless and ashamed because of this.

Sometimes it’s easier to tell people we’re ‘fine’ than to say how we really feel.

But by talking about mental health we can bust myths and break down barriers.

So, how are you starting a conversation about mental health today?

Thanks to our Time to Talk Day partners Rethink Mental Illness and Co-op

I will sometimes talk about finding moments and glimmers of happiness and of positivity in our day to day and the benefits that this can have on relaxing our nervous systems. The glimmers will be different for us all and sometimes can feel hard to see but they are usually there ☺️

CATCH THE COMPLIMENTS

I have seen a hundred compliments,
launched lovingly in your direction,
that you swatted away like flies in summer.

And I have seen too,
a handful of hurtful words,
fired at your fortifications,
which you immediately allowed through,
picked up with both hands,
made a home in your heart for,
and kept for all time.

And on days when your heart is sore,
you reach for those dark words that hurt
and press them till they hurt more.

And the compliments?

They floated away on the breeze,
never to be seen again.

My friend, I wish, from this day on,
that you begin to catch those compliments.

That you shine them to display on a shelf,
in full view.

And you chase those harmful words from your door,
never to be seen again.

And so, to begin your collection…

‘You are warm, unique, loving and kind
and the world is better with you in it.”

I hope this launches a hundred more…

Donna Ashworth

We all have different strengths (and weaknesses) look out for what we can do to encourage each other to grow.

This is why we shouldn't compare ourselves to others.
