Research suggests puzzles and similar mental activ Research suggests puzzles and similar mental activities can provide stress relief, decreasing feelings of anxiety and increasing mental well-being. 😌 Some word search puzzles for mental health only contain positive words like CALM, PEACE, or QUIET. Puzzles give you some time to yourself to focus on a single activity. Games like Wordle create a sense of achievement in working out the word of the day. You may consider these small achievements... but achievements nonetheless and essential for our mental health. 🧩🧠 . #mentalhealth #wordle #puzzle #wordpuzzle #stressrelief #warmpathways
Acceptance is the embracing of subjective experien Acceptance is the embracing of subjective experiences, including distressing experiences. 😯 The idea is not merely to grudgingly tolerate negative experiences, taking on board the meaning as a reflection of ourselves. It means that we don't get stuck in the thoughts and emotions surrounding our experiences. Acknowledge the thoughts you and feelings you are experiencing and not to judge ourselves for them. From here we might be able to let go and move on. 💭✨ . . #acceptance #mentalhealth #recovery #understanding #warmpathways

Do you remember when you first learnt to ride a bi Do you remember when you first learnt to ride a bike? 🚲 It may have been fun but difficult at the same time, leaning to balance and perhaps a few scrapes and grazes. The same can happen when starting out with mindfulness or meditation exercises. 🧘🏼‍♀️ The mind may wander. That's OK. Remember the experts who teach you, whether in a class, or from a book, will have been doing it for many years and have been practicing for years. Learning new skills... cooking, carpentry, painting take time. Mastering a skill takes time and practice,. So if you mind does wander, there is not much point in being critical of yourself as you have done your best and this is a learning experience. Take your time. Enjoy it and be kind to yourself. ☺️ #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #selfcare #warmpathways #mindfulnessmeditation
When you are feeling low, it is very easy to want When you are feeling low, it is very easy to want to isolate and wait for the feelings to pass. Not talking about how you are feeling and leavng the emotional pain inside can lead to rumination, and the negative thoughts and feelings to perpetuate. 😔💭 Talking to those around you allows you to get what is troubling you out of your mind. This can be seen as "being vulnerable" where you put yourself out there which takes strength and courage. You deserve to be heard because you are valuable! 🙌❤️ #talking #vulnerabilty #courage #empathy #mentalhealth #warmpathways
If you’re feeling lonely, know that you’re not If you’re feeling lonely, know that you’re not the only one. You don’t have to live in isolation. 🥺 By nature, humans are inherently social creatures and as far back as we can trace, humans have travelled, hunted, and thrived in social groups and for good reason. 👫 Connecting with others is more important than we might think. Social connection helps to lower anxiety and depression, regulate our emotions. It can also lead to higher self-esteem and empathy. By neglecting our need to connect, we put our health at risk. ❤️‍🩹 • • • • • #mentalhealth #connection #social #community #emotions #warmpathways #counselor #counselling #clinic #online #mentalhealth #ruok #onlinetherapy #anxiety #depression #journey #selfcare #happymindhappysoul
