25.01.2022 Wherever you're at is okay. Its okay to speak up and get help. Its brave. This graphic, or one similar can help you communicate more easily to your loved one...s about where you are emotionally. If you find yourself in the yellow or orange zones make sure to reach out to someone you trust and tell them how you're feeling. If you feel like there is no one you can talk to, come along to your closest Walk 'n' Talk event, there is always a kind ear waiting. Its probably best to also book an appointment with your GP to see what options are available. While you're waiting for your appointment make sure to brainstorm as many self care ideas as possible and try to implement them into your day. Ask for help and encouragement from your loved ones if that's what you need to get you through for a bit. If you are in the red, have no one to talk to and can't get into a doctor today, try: Lifeline 13 11 14 Open 24/7 Lifeline Crisis Support online chat Open 7pm - midnight, 7 days a week Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467 Open 24/7 If you, or someone you know, are in immediate danger, please call 000 or go to your nearest hospital Emergency Department. #WalknTalkForLife #MentalHealthAustralia #SelfCare

16.01.2022 Rather than living a problem-free life (quite impossible if youre a human being), emotional health means that one can bounce back from setbacks and thrive despite problems.

15.01.2022 You can’t heal somebody’s pain by trying to take it away from them. It’s so hard to know what to do when your friends are hurting. The thing is, you can’t cheer... someone up by telling them to look on the bright side, or by giving them advice. It just doesn’t work. Watch this video to learn the one thing that will improve all of your I’m here for you intentions, and be that supportive friend you most want to be. See more

14.01.2022 When things feel overwhelming and unsure, your body and mind are reeling with information and exclamation. Sometimes the best thing you can do is take a deep breath and try to focus on one thing - any one thing - that Is in your control. If you take action on that single thing, your body and mind will feel much more settled and stronger to focus on the next thing that is in your control. ...

12.01.2022 Helping children become aware of the ways in which thoughts can influence emotions and behavior is one of the most valuable lessons we can bequeath. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help children to reframe how they identify, interpret and evaluate their emotional and behavioral reactions to negative experiences. Realizing that emotions and behaviors can be regulated and managed is empowering and can lead to improvements in self-control, emotion regulation, coping skill...s, and emotional awareness during this critical developmental stage. The following article will explore: the research and efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy for children the childhood and teen issues that CBT may help to address the benefits of using CBT with children and adolescents.

11.01.2022 For me personally (Katie ) Affirmations have been a game changer for my mental health. Self affirmations were first popularized a century ago, and are still a staple of self-help. But do they work? Yes, yes, they can. Long story short, people base their feelings about themselves on real evidence from their lives, - a self-affirmation can backfire if it feels like you are lying to yourself. Identifying what you really believe are your core strengths and habitually remindi...ng yourself of them can be a great way to boost a positive intention and feeling. Researchers discovered that youre more likely to believe positive self-affirmations, if they are easily true to you, and if you incorporate your core values. So when youre feeling impelled to watch TV instead of getting on with writing your novel, saying aloud (or in your head), Determination is important to me! can boost your will power. But only if determination really is important to you.* So yes, affirmations can work, and make amazing differences in peoples lives, but it is best done when youre in a good headspace, and when what youre saying is honest and true to your values.

10.01.2022 Heres the question I ask myself that helps me to immediately pause my negative thought spiral when I get caught in one: Is this way of thinking helpful? The an...swer is always no. Every single time. Its amazing how simple yet powerful this question is. Once I realize that indulging my negative thoughts isnt helpful, I can make a choice to shift. Its not always easy, but its absolutely possible. Warmly, Nataly Nataly Kogan - Happier

09.01.2022 Changing the way you think about and talk to yourself can be difficult. It requires perseverance. These changes take time and its important to be gentle with yourself as you challenge any negative self-talk.

04.01.2022 Hi friends, There is a Magnolia tree by my front door in full bloom right now. It is one of my favorite things about winter here in Australia. Every time I go o...ut my door, its the first thing I see. Not only is it a beautiful tree, but its nature teaches me a valuable and timely lesson too. Sometimes the most beautiful things bloom in the depths of winter when you would least expect it. Like the beautiful flowers of the magnolia, we too often begin to blossom with new possibilities, new insights and greater awareness in the midst of the winters of our lives - the challenging times, the uncertain times, the times when we suffer or feel lost. How to flower with insight in the winters of our lives Suffering and challenge, although painful are also often transformative. These times make us question things, they shake us up and often wake us up but its often a very delicate time too so if we want to be able to flower with new insights, wisdom and personal growth instead of withering in the face of hardship, we need to meet our suffering with self compassion, awareness, gentleness and courage. The most important habit to come through stronger Probably the most important thing we can do to stay strong during these hard times is to keep caring for ourselves, and thereby galvanising our inner strength, by doing the things that nourish us. Keep taking care of your body and mind, keep connecting with loved ones, keep meditating and doing things you love where possible. If you can do that you can trust that in time you will bloom with new levels of awareness, wisdom and inner strength. Wishing you strength and ease in the days to come.

03.01.2022 Its hard not to feel stressed, anxious, or depressed in a pandemic, isnt it? But in difficult times like these, its essential to do all you can to reduce stress. Why? Because chronic stress combined with feelings of isolation and loneliness can alter the function and structure of the brain, and lead to anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

03.01.2022 Emotional pain cannot kill you, but running from it can. Allow. Embrace. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal. ~Vironika Tugaleva Dont numb or avoid your pain. Feel it. Its going to hurt. But every moment youre hurting, youre healing. The only way out is through. Feel it. Its going to hurt. But every moment youre sobbing, youre doing the work. Every moment youre hurting, youre healing. The only way out is through.... Once we accept that we are doing work, we can silence our internal critic that believes that feeling pain means were doing something wrong. Instead, we begin to understand that feeling our pain is important and productive. The next time you are hurting, uncomfortable, or lonely, feel your pain. Feel as much of it as you can bear. Your pain is a necessary step on your journey towards healing. And remember: You are doing your best. You are healing at exactly the right pace. You are doing work. Your work has meaning. It can serve a purpose. It can serve you. Thanks to Tiny Buddha for todays helpful resource. #walkntalkforlife #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthaustralia #mentalwellness #suicideprevention
