Happy Mental Health Monday! Today's post is about sharing options for taking control of your mental health journey if you are in a place where you are able to. We all experience different states of being, and it's important to know that we may have options that work for us to help us work through them. Instead of staying stuck in a state we don't want to be in, we can take action and make choices that move us forward. By recognizing we have options and taking action, we can help ourselves feel less out of control. What actions do you take to help yourself move through different states of being? Share in the comments below! #MentalHealthMonday #SelfCare #TakeAction #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealth #LeadByExample

Mental Health Awareness month is coming to a close. But, the conversation on mental health shouldn't. In fact, let's turn one of this month's reminders into a permanent habit: Be kind to yourself, first. We're sometimes our own worst critic. We beat ourselves up for things we wouldn't fault others for. But, what if we treated ourselves like we would a friend? Our mental health would skyrocket. Give yourself permission to: ✅ Make mistakes ✅ Rest ✅ Say no ✅ Set boundaries ✅ Invest in self-care ‼️You can only give your best when you're at your best. And, that starts with being kind to yourself. Take care of yourself and the rest will follow. #YouMatter #PeopleMatter #SelfCareMatters #ItsOkay #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Today is #timetotalk day , the nations largest mental health conversation initiative. Anyone can suffer from poor mental health, and it can affect people at different times and in different ways. Sometimes there are no specific triggers to an episode of mental ill health. Start the dialogue and open up the conversation. Its free and more importantly it could have a lasting impact on a friend, family member, or work colleague. One small caring gesture goes along way in someone else’s world. You can reach out by: ❤️ Sending a simple text or WhatsApp. ❤️Phone for a chat. ❤️Offer to go for a coffee or a drink after work. ❤️Offer to do something in memory of their loved one. ❤️Leave a sticky note on a work colleague’s desk. ❤️Ask them how they are and then ask how they ‘really’ are. ❤️Give a small gift for their wellbeing. It is really important to get on the persons wavelength, be patient, listen to their words, and place yourself in their shoes #nojudgement. It’s also OK if someone doesn’t want to talk. Just let them know that you are not there to fix them but to let them know you care and they matter. Not just today, but take regular opportunities to check in with others. #mind #timetotalk #nojudgement #conversationsthatmatter #wellnessmatters #mentalhealthmatters

June is Men's Mental Health Month🧠💙 Hey guys, let's talk about something important—Men's mental health. June is Men's Mental Health Month, a time to recognize the unique challenges men face and break the stigma around discussing mental health. Society often expects men to be tough and stoic, but it's okay to admit when you're not okay. Here are some ways we can support each other: 1. Talk It Out: Don't bottle things up. Find a friend, family member, or professional to talk to. 2. Listen Up: If a buddy opens up to you, listen without judgment. Sometimes, just being there is enough. 3. Stay Informed: Know the signs of mental health issues so you can help yourself and others. 4. Self-Care Isn't Selfish: Take time for activities that make you feel good, whether it's hitting the gym, pursuing a hobby, or just relaxing. 5. Seek Help: There's no shame in reaching out to a mental health professional. It's a strong move, not a weak one. Let's look out for each other and build a community where it's okay to talk about Men's struggles. Remember, you're not alone in this. #MensMentalHealthMonth #TalkAboutIt #SupportEachOther #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone
