Mental Health Tip-It’s mental health week!
Focus: Know Yourself, Grow Yourself
It is so important we understand what makes us tick, our likes and dislikes, strengths, fears, hopes and dreams.
Our emotions play a key role in telling us just that, and being aware of how to listen to and express ourselves is a major part of building self-awareness.
Being self-aware means getting to know and understand what we are good at, what we find difficult, our likes and dislikes, what makes us feel JOY and what may cause us SADNESS.
Express your emotions and thoughts through:
Talking to someone you feel comfortable with for example friends, family & teachers
Journaling-express your emotions and thoughts through writing them down in a notebook.
Mindful activities-colour in, listen to calming music, practice mindfulness activities.
Exercise-time for reflection, go for a walk or visit the gym.
