Mental Health Awareness is something that we should seek to acknowledge everyday within ourselves when we feel those uncomfortable feelings and emotions trying to get our attention.
Something that has been greatly impacted even more so with the events of the past 4 years.
Like anything in life, consistency is key for getting results. Being consistent with ourselves and our own self-care. Not getting distracted, or shutting ourselves down.
So, I'm not adverse to having a focus at certain times of the year, that can act as a little reminder to help us get back on track.
In the US, May is Mental Health Awareness month and the UK, next week, 13th-19th May, is Mental Health Awareness week.
Last year's focus was on anxiety and something that continues to be at an all time high for many.
Anxiety is one of the more uncomfortable spectrums of emotions we experience and when it gets out of control, can cause bigger mental health issues and stop us moving forward in our life.
Aside from life's many challenges and transitions we have to navigate, the past four years has been particularly challenging and has had a huge impact on people's mental health.
Whether you're consciously on your spiritual journey and doing the inner work, or just trying to get through the tough times we're in, we are all affected.
And we are all connected.
Whenever you might be struggling, it's important to remember that you're not alone.
Remember you are not your anxiety, try not to get attached to the emotion or feeling. Practice being the observer, allowing yourself to be seen and heard, so it can move through you with compassion and love.
