If you're struggling with your mental health, read this...

May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, but keep this gentle reminder in mind that mental health is not an annual or monthly task, it is an ongoing daily process - and it is not always easy. 

From its very definition, mental health involves the emotional, social, and physical aspects of us, and affects how we feel, think, and act. The most important thing to remember is that it is YOUR mental health journey, and not anybody else’s.

If you’re struggling with your mental health, read these 25 Mental Health Reminders... 

//

The past cannot be changed

Sometimes just breathing is more than enough 

You deserve all the love and kindness you give to others

This too shall pass

Taking time for yourself is NOT selfish

It’s okay to say “No”

Your best is more than enough

Slow growth is still growth

You are not defined by the trauma you dealt with

Your feelings are valid

Emotions are just feelings and are not who you are

You are more than an illness

Setbacks do not mean you have failed

You are allowed to break old traditions that are no longer serving you

The way you speak to yourself matters

You matter, even on days you don’t feel like it

Not all thoughts are true

A bad day doesn’t equal a bad life

It’s okay to cry if you need to

Things are going to get better

You didn’t come this far just to come this far

Don’t forget to treat you body and mind with kindness

You deserve to get help and seek support

You are not alone

The world needs you
