It's World Mental Health Day!

10/10/2017

0 Comments

 

Mental health awareness is not just for today, World Mental Health Day, when the world comes together to promote wellbeing. It's for every day.

Here at 280 Bakes, we're advocates of mental wellbeing and awareness, so we'd like to share something a little different with you today.

Here are our top finds of blogs and poignant, useful images on the subject of emotional and mental wellbeing:

Wyse Thoughts - from blogger Paul Wyse - an awesome mental wellbeing blogger, very read-friendly, and an all round lovely guy.


Everyone has mental health. The world is shaped by our minds, and it shapes our minds. Nothing is more important. #WorldMentalHealthDay

#WorldMentalHealthDay2017 Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there□

David Buck's blog is also worth looking at - he's very open and honest, and it's a great blog if you want to understand the person behind a challenging mental health issue.

Sometimes, all that's needed is a chat. A cuppa and a slice of cake is an open doorway to gentle, meaningful discussion about how you or your friend/colleague/relative is feeling - just like what the Environment Agency in Bristol did today! They held a 'coffee and cake' (with our delicious Victoria Sponge - thanks guys!) natter to help spread the word that 'mental health' is not a dirty word.

Why not post this image on the left on your Facebook today? We love it because the arrow cleverly points to your profile picture when you post it. Show you're listening!

Remember, it's ok NOT to be ok. Have some self-compassion and continue to breathe.


Be well,

The Team @ 280 Bakes
