You guys, the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together 🧩 I feel like so much has changed and I’m feeling like ME again ❤️ At first, back in October, I wasn’t sure if everyone was ready for my holistic message around mental health, but after all the conversations I’ve been having lately, I’ve realized people were searching for it and for answers/ways to FEEL better. So now I am going to get even louder and tell you that I believe our weight affects our mental health too 🧠🫂 It wasn’t until I answered 10 questions on a mental wellness assessment quiz 3 months ago and scored a 4 on a scale of 1-10, that convinced me of that connection. I was searching for something to help me physically feel better – my discomfort with digestion and bloating – but what I found was something that has also made me feel happier & calmer, has given me more energy and made me feel full of life again! And I wasn’t just led here for me…I was led here for you too 🫶🏻 There is a reason we are drawn to these opportunities. I’ve learned that mental wellness is the new physical wellness because of something called the gut brain connection and I want to share it with everyone!! So many people struggle and may not know how to start putting the connections together between mental health and their physical health. So…I’m gonna give you an opportunity to find out where you stand. We all need to check on ourselves and each other. Don’t worry, your results are confidential! You can choose to share them or keep them to yourself! Comment “QUIZ” if you’re interested in learning more or would like to take the quiz. #guthealthiseverything #guthealthmatters #guthealth #gutbrainconnection #mentalwellness #mentalwellnessjourney #mentalhealthjourney
Being a self-proclaimed artist and nature lover. I have my own love for the golden ratio or divine proportion, whichever you wish to call it. But, whilst on my mental health journey with ADHD and mindfulness, I wanted to see how this could also be applied to our lives and how we think. It's a beautiful concept, I now have the golden ratio tattooed on my arm as a constant reminder to focus myself. Whilst also tying in with my love of art.

I don’t expect anymore to wake up one morning and see it all gone. I think it’s something I need to take care of every day. Despite 7 years of therapy, I’m still suffering, recovering, healing, learning to be in my body, in my mind, to unlearn patterns, to manage anxiety, PTSD. I’m in a place now where I’m learning to live my life where the centre is me. Understanding my needs and nurturing them, understanding which emotions I’m feeling, being in my body, being compassionate with myself. I’m in a place where I want to give myself everything. Care, love, compassion, play, joy, tears. I’m in a place where I want to feel my emotions, my body, my presence. I still dissociate, get triggered, anxious, have sleepless nights, overgive, focus on others’ needs rather than mine, people please. But I want my life to be first of all mine. For 30 years my life was never mine or about me. And I want it! I want to have needs, love, emotions, desires, outbursts, anger, pain, joy, dreams, aspirations, boundaries. Because I was never allowed to have any of it. And now I’m learning to have them. https://www.moveformind.org.uk/fundraising/andreea-move-for-mind @mindcharity @moveformindchallenge #mentalhealth #mindcharity #januarychallenge #moveformindchallenge #traumawork #ptsd #mentalhealthjourney
A secret to happiness is; you’re not always right, and how wonderful that really is I’m not always right, we’re not always right, we’re, I am, wrong at times too. And it’s in those wrongs where we learn, we grow, we become better versions of ourselves. You’d think it would be a wonderful feeling to be right all the time right, no, being proven right, means you already knew something, there’s no growth there other than perhaps your ego being inflated ever so slightly and an ego is what hinders genuine happiness or there may even be feelings of disappointment. So being proven right has some drawbacks, and being proven wrong, well, it’s when you’re wrong that you’re given a chance for genuine growth. Perhaps if we were all aiming to be proven wrong instead of being proven right, then we’d start to see things for what they really are, as opposed to what we want them to be, which then means we’d truly be learning in life, and our relationships with others will be far more positive and successful as a result too. We can learn from ourselves and we too can learn from those around us. Seek to be wrong, then you just might learn a new right. Our schooling system has taught us that only right is celebrated, and wrong, frowned upon, sometimes ridiculed, so we then become adults whose first emotion/reaction to our child doing something wrong is a negative one followed immediately by chastising them as oppose to perhaps looking at it as a chance to teach them something new, and calmly explaining where they went wrong so they’ll actually know themselves. How do you know how something is wrong, if it’s not explained how. Our wrongs have associations to and are embedded in our negative past experiences with them, so, it’s little wonder we’re adults that through that conditioning, do not like to be wrong. It’ll never be wrong to be wrong, but it is wrong to think we’re always right. Perhaps had our education system taught, wrong is good, wrong is celebrated too, learning something new is something worth celebrating,we learn through wrongs too,then our parenting styles would change, and we’d perceive wrongs in a whole new healthy constructive way.– Innicka Dee ✍🏻by @innickadee

Signs that someone might be anxious. It's important to know the signs of anxiety in not only yourself, but in others too. A lot of the time having someone else help you through your anxiety is such a great help and we need to do the same to others too and look out for each other more 🤍 . . . . . . .

What do I mean by breaking down? For example, shutting down, screaming and yelling, panicking and hyperventilating and so on. Some people might even describe this as an 'over-reaction', a case where the response is wildly out of proportion to the perceived inconvenience. 🤔 However, in my research, what I've realized is that overreactions are often responses by our fight-or-flight system that are still responding to a threat that we once used to have. Hence, they are often not overreactions at all. Knowing that helps to put these actions of others and myself into perspective, together with some other reasons including hunger, loss, grief, stress, and so on. 😓 #mentalhealthstigma #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthjourney #mentalhealthresource #mentalhealthcoach #mentalhealthbreak #mentalhealthfoundation #mentalhealthquote #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthproblems #depressionsupport #depressionrelief #depressionkills #depressionandanxiety #mentalillnessrecovery #mentalillnessfeelslike #mentalillnessawareness - #somaticexperiencing #somatichealing #trauma #ptsd #traumahealing #healing #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #healingjourney #nervoussystem #love
How to help someone experiencing anxiety. It can be quite different when you're helping yourself with anxiety, to when you're helping someone else. With yourself, you start to know what works for you an what doesn't. You start to know what your triggers are and what helps to keep you calm. With others, knowing what to do can be a bit hit and miss. This is when we have to go back to basics and use the general rules of thumb. These things can also be the most effective so always remember these for yourself too! . . . . . . .

I know a lot of people get upset hearing this, but I've spent the better part of the last few years wishing I lacked the support and responsibility in my life keeping me from ending it. A sad reality that many who live with chronic physical/mental illnesses face, and something we never discuss about the surgical healing process 🙍♀️ It's been an incredible journey to reach this point where even in sad times I can still find happiness. Whether or not we share the same struggles, remember that you will never appreciate the good without experiencing the bad 🌗 "All we need is hope, and for that we have eachother" 💖 Love you guys I hope this new week brings something positive for all of us 🙏 🌈 @feelgoodstudio_
A daily reminder that sometimes there are things out of our control, but we can change our mindset in order to be able to control them < 3 * * * * * #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthday #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthstigma #mentalhealthjourney #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthisreal
Our brain has the capability to restructure itself when presented with new conditions and experiences. The brain is an organ constructed to change according to our experience. Setting intentions can affect our neurology and in turn affect our overall physiology. Where attention goes, energy flows. Chronic illness can produce profound psychological disturbances in the brain. In fact, chronically stressed individuals are found to have larger amygdalas, the part of the brain responsible for processes of fear, anxiety, and the experience of emotions. Creating a cycle that needs to be broken in order to heal. Chronic illness creates a vicious cycle that only WE can break. Intentions can be subconscious as well. When the body is not feeling well and we are vibrating at lower levels, this negative state perpetuates the cycle of exercising neural pathways associated with emotional disturbances. Luckily, with the support of the frontal lobe, which is responsible for future planning and decision making, we can shift the circuits of the brain through positive intentions. Highly emotional intentions have been associated with the most significant change, meaning create an intention that is meaningful to you, something that holds a strong emotional bond. Instead of being in a state of anxiety and fear about where your health and healing journey is going, decide that you want to embody trust for your body and healing journey. Remember, where attention goes energy flows, by setting that positive intention, new neural circuits are blooming AND resources or energy will flow to support that intention. There wasn't much I could do early on in my recovery but lay in bed, meaning I had a lot of time with my thoughts. But what I could do every time a negative thought pattern appeared, I could replace it with how I see my future going. Dr. Bruce Lipton stated 'the beliefs we hold in our mind are converted to electromagnetic fields by nerve cells and our brain broadcasts this information to the cells in our body.' Our cells are always listening. If you believe you are sick, your body will too. Pretty cool we are the only mammal with the ability to do this.

Had such a lovely weekend, topped off with an afternoon dip with @laurensmith and @whatkarleydid ☺️🏊. It's amazing how quickly your mind, outlook and how you feel can change over the course of a week. At the beginning I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't want to socialise. I just wanted to curl up in a ball in darkness, under the duvet. As the week has progressed, so have I. Monday started as a 3/10. Now I'm at about an 8. What I'm trying to say is KEEP GOING. If you're having a shit time and can't see a light at the end of the tunnel, it won't be like that forever however much it feels like it now. You will feel better. Quickly. Slowly. We never know. Just know that you're not alone. We're in this together. You've got this. And so have I 💛. - - - - - #mentalhealthswim #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthswims #mentalhealthjourney #mensmentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthisimportant #anxiety #anxietyawareness #anxietyhelp #coldwatertherapy #outdoorswimming #outdoorswimming #depressionandanxiety #depressionawareness #depressionisreal #depression #youareenough #youarenotalone #itsoknottobeok #itsoktonotbeok

Friday I went to my first sober gig and it was absolutely amazing! (Some of the songs just related to me so much it was class @tomandthebrassholes ) Saturday I went to a sober birthday night out and it turned out to be pretty hard and I cried myself to sleep. Stopping drinking is one of the best things I’ve ever done in my entire life. Stopping drinking is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my entire life. It’s mad because it was destroying my life every week but the urges, FOMO, left out, lonely feelings can still come up and hit me right in the chest. It’s such a mad mix of emotions. I sometimes feel fkn elated, proud and content. I also sometimes feel gutted for myself, disappointed that I let myself get to so lost with alcohol and drugs, lonely af, that I’m not apart of anything anywhere and that I just cba keeping this up anymore. But thinking about that day last year, 20th June to be exact, where I felt such a deep emptiness and sadness that I was literally planning a way to end it all just reminds me that I’m doing the right thing. That no matter how much I “miss out” that I’m still here and I thank me for that. I wouldn’t be alive rn if I didn’t stop. This is just a post to remind everyone and myself not to fucking give up. Ever. No matter how hard shit gets or how much you cba fighting anymore just don’t give up. It will get better. It will be alright. YOU WILL GET BETTER ❤️❤️ #sobercurious #soberlife #soberlifestyle #affit #mentalhealthwarriors #mentalhealthblogger #soberblogger #mentalhealthjourney #selflovejourney #selflovewarrior #soberliving #sobergirlsociety #sobergirls #tommaguireandthebrassholes #mentalhealthcheckin

One of the great joys of learning to throw pottery has been that I eat almost every meal from a container I made myself. And on some days the only thing that convinces me to leave my bed is an internal promise to myself to have a simple but perfect beginning to the day. It’s not exciting. But it’s part of the long, slow journey back. #mentalhealthjourney #therapyphotoassignment #griefsucks #imworkingonit #pottery #ceramics
Do you keep more than one journal? If so, what are they? I tend to use just one journal, the type of journaling I'll do each day will depend on how I am feeling and what has been going on in my life. For me, multiple journals don't work, I need everything to be in one place. I'm forgetful and if I can't see something, I forget it exists 🙈 #bujoinspire #borntocreate #stationeryfinds #journalworld #journalsupplies #bujolove #bulletjournalideas #bullet_daily #journal_junkies #mybeautifulmess #notebook_profile #mentalhealthjourney #mentalhealthjournal #stationeryaddict

❓Why do we cry? How does it affect us? 😢Crying is our body's way of dealing with emotional overwhelm. 💦When we cry we release stress hormones which lower our stress levels and improve mood and sleep. 💫In addition, crying releases endorphins which help to ease physical and emotional pain, and give us an overall sense of calm. 💟Therefore, crying is not always bad for you, it's actually a self soothing behavior. 🔎Another helpful thing about crying is that it alerts us and others that something is wrong! It's a visible cue to others that we are upset and need help, and it's also a cue to ourselves that we may need help. . . . #crying #cry #emotionalresponse #cryingintheclub #cryinginside #moodbooster #selfcare #selfcompassion #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthstigma #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthjourney #mentalhealthresource #mentalhealthcoach #mentalhealthbreak #mentalhealthfoundation #mentalhealthquote #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthproblems #traumarecover #traumahealing #traumainformed #traumabonding #traumasurvivor #traumainformedcare #traumabonds #childhoodtrauma #healingtrauma #traumaawareness

La terapia psicodinámica es un enfoque profundo y centrado en el individuo que se basa en la teoría de que nuestras experiencias pasadas y los patrones emocionales inconscientes influyen en nuestras acciones y relaciones actuales. Este enfoque se concentra en ayudar a las personas a comprender y trabajar a través de sus conflictos internos y emociones reprimidas para alcanzar una mayor autocomprensión y una vida más satisfactoria. La terapia psicodinámica puede ser un camino emocionante y transformador para aquellos que buscan una mayor comprensión de sí mismos y sus relaciones.

Mindfulness is like a hot air balloon ride, it's all about enjoying and taking in the beautiful sights, without worrying about what's ahead or behind. It's about being fully present at the moment, like savouring each bite of a delicious ice cream cone, and finding peace in the here and now. So let's all climb into the hot air balloon of mindfulness and enjoy the journey, and if it gets a little bumpy, remember to hold on tight, and enjoy the ride! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthday #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthcounseling #mentalhealthart #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealthstigma #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthmemes #mentalhealthweek #mentalhealthjourney
Incredibly freeing to hear more & more celebs (& even coaches➡️), get away from the idea that there’s this separate group of “1 in 5 messed up ppl” & instead reveal the reality that: We’re ALL a mess - thank you Jason for that line! When we started this org some 5yrs ago, the name of it was “We’re All A Little ‘Crazy’” & the campaign was: “SameHere” - the ASL sign gesturing back & forth, you & I, we’re the same: bc we’re all humans, we all go thru challenging life events, ALL of us, & that means everyone’s MH gets impacted in a negative way at times…we’re in this together. That was the beginning of 2018. Wish I had a $ for every academic/psycholgist/“long-tenured advocate” who told us at the time: you can’t use “Crazy” in the name of a MH org/movement…that word is “stigmatizing.” Here’s the thing: we talk to each other in language like that. “That hat looks crazy good on you.” Or…”You’re crazy late to everything.” We chose that name bc we use it. Most of us. And yes, we even use it to describe each other’s zany behavior (which most often developed bc OF our maladaptive coping mechanisms to emotional pain that gives us our quirkiness). Society’s been erroneously told for so long, MH = MI, & that it applies to the “1 in 5” w MI. Really?? Something that’s subjective, based on symptoms, in a DSM5, w/o any disease found in the body or most any bio markers, we’re going to split society into the 1 in 5 ill, 4 in 5 healthy/fine/normal/ok group? It’s why we used We’re All A Little “Crazy” as a way to show ppl this is a group - MH - that applies to ALL of us. It’s now the name of our podcast. For a while: celebs still kept coming out w their MH journeys, & it was all abt labels. I’m ____, I suffer w (enter disorder name), you should use (enter app/product). So happy to see these 2 public figures, & others, starting to communicate the reality: EVERY ONE of us on this planet deals w MH, just like we do physical health. It’s on a continuum…but it means we’re all in this together. Let’s do as Jason here (whose most recent character’s based on someone who just lost their wife, not solely a disorder) & talk in the collective. #SameHere🤙 #5in5 #iRel8 #BeHereTomorrow

👉🏻 Whenever something triggers you, or if you're upset you would've noticed that you distract yourself. We are taught to not feel sad and to not feel our emotions completely because feeling that would make us uncomfortable. Wherein, in reality you should actually allow yourself to feel however you feel regardless of what others suggest you. We don't question ourselves when we are happy and when we feel happy...so why would you question yourself when you're sad or aren't feeling like yourself. This whole idea about numbing your own emotions gets in a state of mind where all these suppressed emotions comes out in other ways which might not be healthy for us. 👉🏻 Here's the thing; Whenever you feel something isn't happening the way you wanted or if you don't feel okay.. first of all acknowledge your emotion. When you acknowledge how you feel you get a sense of awareness about your own emotions, moods and feelings. Now that you know how you feel, Don't question yourself or don't try to distract yourself with something else. Stay there and be patient with yourself. After a while when you feel relaxed, calm yourself down and then try to understand what happened and why did you feel the way you did. In this way, you'll be more in touch with innerself and how a certain situation makes you feel so that next time it happens....you can be grounded and can respond instead of reacting. 👉🏻The whole thing about feeling your emotions comes strange to people because they think they do allow themselves to feel their emotions and are able to regulate their emotions on a daily basis in a healthy manner. If you're someone who already does that, it's an important thing and a form of self love. 👉🏻Take a step towards your mental health today and you'll see how it helps you in every single situation of your life💫 📌Stay tuned for more such informative content regarding mental health. . . . . . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalwealth #mentalhealthweek #mentalhealthjourney #mentalwea
We are so so excited 🤗 to start the year by welcoming you all to the first episode of our first, and only podcast 🎙 : Lessons from Strangers!

Dr. Reddy is a Singapore-born, UK-based, social, political and cultural psychologist. Together, we talked about incredibly important concepts such as coloniality, epistemic violence and the importance of actively decolonizing contemporary psychology, to name a few. It was a beautiful conversation that highlighted some of the most pressing issues currently present in the mental health landscape Lessons from Strangers is a mental health podcast that aspires to provide further depth to the writings published in its namesake magazine centered around the themes of intersectionality, feminism, and decolonialism. Here, you will be able to find the thoughts, ideas and hopes of inspiring people that are all working to build a better tomorrow.

Self-care is like filling up your gas tank before hitting the road. If you don't take care of yourself, you'll eventually run out of steam and won't be able to function properly. So, don't be an "empty-tank" hero, prioritize yourself and refuel often! Your mind and spirit will thank you for it. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthday #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthcounseling #mentalhealthart #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealthstigma #mentalhealthblog #mentalhealthmemes #mentalhealthweek #mentalhealthjourney

Last night, out of nowhere, I just had a massive panic attack. Today I've woken up drained and with the worst sore throat. So I've put all the plans I had on hold and I'm under a blanket recharging and being kind to myself 💚 📷 @laurajaneillustrations 🙏🏻 • #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthjourney #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #boardlinepersonalitydisorder #bpd #bingeeatingdisoder #seasonalaffectivedisorder #sad
I'm learning to be easy on myself, to move at my own rhythm and pace. It hasn't been easy because I taught myself to work hard and fast, to optimize my time, to stay busy and productive. But that's all outdated ways of operating and it had caused me a lot of harm both mentally and physically. It stems from a patriarchal system that tells us to work till we break in order to be successful or rather, useful. To function as slaves for corporations. When I decided to join Purium, this beautiful business, I was scared not gonna lie. I was so used to the employee mindset and trading hours for dollars that the idea of having full freedom in my lifestyle, and more time and location freedom seemed so foreign to me, it has to all be a scam. It couldn't possibly be real! And not to mention I started this business with no immediate pay which I would have never done before. I dove into this opportunity because I was healing. I was feeling more brave and more confident. My lifelong depression was dissolving and anxiety went away. I was sleeping after 15 years of insomnia. I was getting off my auto-immuje medications. And I wanted to show other people the power of true gut health and real nutrition. I wanted to show people that it's possible to heal ourselves because I was healing myself. This naturally snowballed into a greater purpose as I discovered that this was a real business opportunity, that I was making residual income while I was sleeping. I watched my team grow and my purpose solidified even more as I watched them live a life in alignment with their dreams and purpose, to be able to offer more to their kids, to put food on the table, to travel, and to empower others to do the same. Together, we are breaking the mould. We are breaking free from systems that harmed us and that never prioritized our dreams and our well-being in the first place. This is bigger than just superfood nutrition, this is bigger than me. So I lay here enjoying my time off knowing I can move slower, breathe deeper, trust more and gently and gracefully make my exit out of the old world. There is more out there for us, you just have to believe it and be willing! 🪄🪄🪄
