Mental Health Awareness

Mental Health Awareness
May 19, 2020

The timing of mental health awareness week 2020 could not be more apt.

With social distancing, isolating and working from home the ‘new normal’; now more than ever we must look after ourselves and each other for mental and physical wellbeing.

It is ok not to be ok and everyone’s feelings are valid. However, if you catch your mind on a hamster wheel of negative thoughts and you want to do something about it here are just a few of the many ways you can ground yourself and become present.

  • Square breathing – get comfortable and focus on relaxing the shoulders, neck & head then breathe in for a count of 5, hold air in for a count of 5, breathe out for a count of 5 & hold for a count of 5 before repeating. Try 4-5 cycles at a time, as regularly as you find helpful throughout the day.
  • Meditation or mindfulness – some people can meditate by themselves, others find it helpful to be guided through a relaxation (one of these in our upcoming newsletter). There are great apps such as Calm, Headspace and Unwinding Anxiety, as well as various recorded meditations that can be downloaded from your favourite yogi, mindfulness expert or coach.
  • 5 senses exercise – see our instagram post below for details on this.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ There couldn’t be a more appropriate time to raise awareness of mental health. During a pandemic it can be easy to worry about what we can’t control. However, even in these unprecedented times there are opportunities to combat anxiety. Here’s a quick exercise to bring our focus to the present moment. Try it each day this week and let it remind us of all the little things we can be grateful for 🌈🎼💐🧼🍪 #mentalhealthawarenessweek #breathe #grounding #awareness #anxiety #wellness
