Your emotions matter! Don’t let other people tell you otherwise. 💙

There are many unhelpful thinking styles that can happen in our brains. These thoughts can be irrational in nature and influence our emotions. Keep your eyes out for more posts describing more unhelpful thinking styles. First up is all or nothing thinking. 💙

The holidays can be difficult for a lot of people. Due to COVID getting worse again, you might not be able to see your loved ones. Remember you are not alone and there are
others out there feeling the same way. It's
okay to feel lonely or sad. You will get
through it. 💙

You are the most
important person in your life. Remember that. 💙

Be kind to yourself. 💙

Don’t forget to check in with your friends and loved ones this holiday season, not everyone feels festive and merry. 💙

You don't have to be
at your lowest point to start therapy.

Happy Friday-eve! 💙

Remember that tough times don’t last, but tough people do. You can get through this and you will.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, you’re doing your best. 💙

Book shoutout time I don't want to talk about it by Terrence Real is an excellent read about mens mental health. This book highlights Terrence's
experience treating men with depression and how it is a silent epidemic with a
negative stigma.
I highly suggest giving this book a read.
may be over but mens mental
health is always important.

Your Tuesday reminder. You belong here and you are worthy.

I love this quote by Morgan Harper Nichols. 💙

Some helpful anxiety relievers. Do any of these help calm you down? 💙⬇️

Nearly 1 in 5 Americans live with a mental illness, yet it is something people are not comfortable talking about.
It’s time to take a stand against the mental illness stigma.
Let’s normalize going to the therapy or seeking treatment.
It will be worth it. 💙

Be proud of your progress, however big or small. Every step forward makes a difference. 🪴

Be patient with yourself.
Speak kindly to yourself.
Your best is good enough. 💙

There’s a lot we can’t control, so why do we keep trying?

When we stop worrying about things we can’t control, we will have more time and energy to devote to the things we do have control over.

When we determine what we can and cannot control is one of the first steps to overcoming this.

Have you tried letting go of things you can’t control? Let me know down below in the comments! ⬇️💙

Read it again! 💙

It’s ! The month to grow a moustache and raise awareness for of men's health issues, such as men’s mental health and prostate cancer.

Men are much less likely than women to seek help for mental illnesses or to speak to others about mental health struggles. We need to end the stigma around men’s mental health.

Remember that you don't have to be tough. You don't have to man up. There is immense strength in seeking support. It is not a sign of weakness to not be okay sometimes. It is human and you are not alone! 💙

I love this five-step grounding exercise. It be very helpful during periods of anxiety or panic by helping to ground you in the present when your mind is racing between various anxious thoughts.

5️⃣ Acknowledge or say FIVE things you see around you. It could be a cup, something on the floor, anything in your surroundings.

4️⃣ Acknowledge or say four things you can touch around you. It could be your sweater, a blanket, or the ground under your feet. 

3️⃣ Acknowledge THREE things you hear. This could be any external sound, inside or out. Even the slightest hum counts.

2️⃣ Acknowledge TWO things you can smell. If you need to go somewhere close to find a scent you could smell soap in your bathroom, or nature outside.

1️⃣ Acknowledge ONE thing you can taste. What does the inside of your mouth taste like— the dessert from dinner? Perhaps you have gum or a mint in your mouth.

Have you tried this before? 💙⬇️

Mid week reminder! These feelings will pass. 💙
