It doesn't have to be much either. Just something to keep yourself active and moving. A little can go a long way. With the weekend coming up, why not go to the park, kick a ball, go for a walk. It costs nothing.

19.01.2022 Today is world suicide prevention day. Lifeline is a great resource of help and information. 13 11 14 Here are 3 steps to prevent suicide 1) Ask... If you think someone might be suicidal, ask them directly "Are you thinking about suicide?" Don’t be afraid to do this, it shows you care and will actually decrease their risk because it shows someone is willing to talk about it. Make sure you ask directly and unambiguously. 2) Listen and stay with them If they say 'yes', they are suicidal, listen to them and allow them to express how they are feeling. Don’t leave them alone. Stay with them or get someone else reliable to stay with them. 3) Get help Get them appropriate help. Call a crisis line like Lifeline 13 11 14 or 000 if life is in danger. If you can get in straight away visit a GP or psychologist. Even if the danger is not immediate they may need longer term support for the issues that led to them feeling this way. https://www.lifeline.org.au/get-h/topics/preventing-suicide

18.01.2022 I'm sure everyone has heard of mindfulness by now. Usually people respond with yeah yeah, sit and meditate, ok I'm being mindful or I'll go and do those colouring in books for adults, I'm being mindful. And yes, you are correct that is practicing mindfulness; but that's isn't the full picture. Informal mindfulness involves directing your full and non-judgemental attention to the activity you’re undertaking at a particular moment it might be washing the dishes, brushing your teeth, chatting with a friend or studying. That is being mindful too.

16.01.2022 Having support networks in your life are very important to maintain positive mental health. A successful relationship is a two-way street that requires your active participation. Here are some suggestions for nurturing your relationships: Stay in touch. Answering phone calls, returning emails and reciprocating invitations let people know you care. Don't compete. Be happy instead of jealous when your friends succeed.... Be a good listener. Listen when your friends are speaking. Find out what's important to them. Don't overdo it. Be careful not to overwhelm friends and family with phone calls and emails. Save those high-demand times for when you really need them. Appreciate your friends and family. Take time to say thank you and express how important they are to you. Give back. Be available for family and friends when they need support.
