Be KIND to your MIND 🧠 if you’re finding yourself constantly stressed out, anxious or unhappy it may be an inclination somethings wrong. Limiting outside opinions 🤳🏽and daily news can help you think more clearly. Hanging out with people who are always talking badly about themselves or others can create a negative, exhausting energy 🥵 Not getting atleast 8 hours of sleep a night can not only drain energy but put your health at risk, put your phone away when you get into bed to ensure you don’t find yourself scrolling every 10 minutes - don’t worry it’ll still be there when you get up in the morning. 🍏 You are what you eat. Make sure it’s fresh, nutritious and colorful. #mentalhealthawareness #bekindtoyourmind
This is Justin 💪🏽 Justin came to join us a year ago for our FIRST ever overnight lock-in (after working a 12 hour shift). Not long after he started joining us on Wednesday nights for youth night and was an extra handy man around the center 🔨 You can find Justin with a Dunks coffee in hand almost every time you see him. His desire to be part of a community and make a difference has kept him coming back ever since! #TeamAustin

We encourage laughter here! Laughter has a way of instantly connecting people and is one of the most basic and fundamental ways in which we communicate as human beings. But more than that - laughter can increase confidence, self-esteem, creativity, positivity, and resilience, bringing positive changes to all aspects of our lives. - laughter consultant, Joe Bluett #mentalhealthawareness
May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth however I believe talking about our mental health should be celebrated daily 🤪 here is a quick reminder to be kind to your mind 🧠 it’s very easy to clutter our thoughts with the gossip, fake news + stresses of everyday life, leaving it hard to function some days. Here are a few ways to be kind to your mind: 1️⃣ Laugh! Tell a joke, or tag a friend in a funny video 😂 laughter helps reduce anxiety. 2️⃣ Go off the grid. Hang out with someone face to face 👥 3️⃣ It’s spring time! Go outside and get some fresh air 💨 for at-least 15 minutes 4️⃣ Sign up to volunteer 🖐🏽 giving back to your community is good for your health 5️⃣ When you’re stressed out, give yourself a break! Remove yourself from the stressful situation. Close your eyes and breathhhh. Your mind will thank you and help you to deal with the problem at hand positively instead of out of angry emotion
