Good mental health isn’t rocket science. Did you know that?
When things feel flat. No motivation. Burnout. Bored. Sad. States that we have all likely felt at some point. What’s the answer? Is it going back to basics maybe?
When I worked for a charity, we used a chart that looked at school/work, diet, hydration, home life, family, friends, environment, if someone had space alone, quality of sleep, exercise.
All the things that help us to thrive and exist and live and feel supported. All important aspects of being human. All contributing factors to good mental health or poor mental health. Not rocket science but still hard to navigate at times.

This is mental health awareness week and, as a result of this, I did this blog for my good friend and colleague at SR therapy centre.
Keeping it real. Keeping it really honest.
