06.01.2022 Psychology Week has started and today we want to talk about loneliness. Loneliness is something that many people experience which causes people to feel empty, alone and unwanted. This can have negative effects on our mental and physical health. Some tips to prevent feeling lonely include:... - consider community activities that provide opportunities to meet people and make new friendships (this can even be online groups) - do things you enjoy or invest in a new creative project - practice self-love and compassion - recognise that loneliness is a sign that there is something in your life that may benefit from change - focus on positive thoughts and attitudes - know that you can always seek support For more information on where to find support: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/who-can-assist

06.01.2022 Today's #mentalhealth tip is to spend some time outdoors in a green space, whether it is your garden or a local park. Studies have shown that people who spend 2 hours a week in green spaces were substantially more likely to report good health and psychological well-being. Being in nature has the ability to reduce fear, anger and stress. It can lower blood pressure and stress hormone levels, enhance immune system function, reduce anxiety and improve your mood.... It helps us to cope with uncertainty, and helps us to feel connected with each other and the world around us. Find some time to be outside today, and notice these benefits for yourself.
