Hi,
I’m M, chief feel-good officer at Mental Health Activity. Because you’re in the Feel-Good Club, you’re getting this little Friday bundle of joy.
Every week, I prep the week ahead with one free tool, two fun activities, and three fuel-up finds. Hope you enjoy them! 

1 FREE TOOL

Do you have a self-care plan? If not, you’re getting one this week! Look what I have for you: a colorful handout to map out your self-care. It’s one of the favorites from our TPT shop, and it’s free from today until next week, October 3.

2 FUN ACTIVITIES

1- We are officially in Autumn! The season of colors, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. For me, it’s the season of long walks and tree-watching. In October, I want to walk more. A challenge of 200,000 steps for the whole month! Wanna do it too? Oh, I said October! You can download this calendar and use the October wallpaper. Free for sure! 

 

2- October is Caffeine Addiction Recovery Month! That means decaf coffee and tea. I wanna do that. I like knowing I have control over my caffeine level. I also like these challenges because they give me a reason to be proud of myself and celebrate, and I need more of both in my life. Wanna do it? Decaf October!

3 FUEL-UP FINDS

1- This week’s animation is a bit longer (15 minutes) but watch it. It’s really cute and lovely. Imagine that orchestra in your life.

 

2- I found an interesting organization and saved it for this week. October 1st is International Day of Older Persons and this organization supports older adults. It’s called Supporting Our Seniors (SOS). I miss my grandparents. I love older people’s stories, but I don’t have any elders around me right now. (Yep, that kind of immigration life where you miss your grandparents.) I wanted to fill a tiny bit of that hole in my heart and found SOS. It’s like a matchmaking service between older adults and younger people who want an older friend to hang out with and have tea and tart in the afternoon. Isn’t it cool?

 

3- I want to read a book this month: Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín. Two reasons: I heard the story happens in autumn, and I’m traveling to Brooklyn in two weeks. Whenever I travel, I read a book set in that city. Wanna read it and share thoughts together? If more than 3 people chime in, I’ll make a simple group email (a tiny book club) and we can talk about it.

That’s all for this week. I’ll bring more good stuff next Friday. If you find cool things, reply to this email and share. I love getting messages from you!

 

Big hug,
M
