💚 World Mental Health Day 💚

Today is a reminder that mental health matters just as much as physical health.

Be kind to yourself and others. You never know what someone might be going through behind a smile. A little kindness, a listening ear or simply asking “Are you okay?” can make a real difference. 💚

You are not alone, and it’s okay not to be okay. 🌿

💚 The importance of laughter for our wellbeing

💚 Eases stress and anxiety: Calms the nervous system and breaks the cycle of distressing or negative emotions.

💚 Lifts mood: Stimulates feel-good brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins to combat depression.

Every Acorn session, despite some days feeling anxious, stressed and panicky. After our sessions with great people, I always feeling much happier and brighter.

Our Acorn sessions makes me feel better to embrace another week.

Making a gratitude mood board is a fun and easy way to boost your daily happiness.

Looking at your board gives your brain an instant reminder of the good things in your life.

Lowers stress, seeing positive images helps calm your mind.

Improves your mood, bright colours and happy photos naturally lift your spirits and helps you feel more hopeful

And is a daily reminder to pause and appreciate the small moments 💚

At Acorns this week, we had a truly inspiring session with the wonderful Rachel from Fareshare Midlands, who joined us to lead a powerful presentation on Self Love and Worth!

Together, we explored some amazing topics to nurture our minds and hearts:

What is Self Love: Unpacking what it really means to put ourselves first.

Radical Self Acceptance: Embracing all parts of who we are, flaws and all.

Gratitude Journals: Shifting our focus to the everyday blessings around us.

Self-Love Letters: Taking a quiet moment to write a heartfelt letter to ourselves.

Thank you to everyone who came and shared their energy, vulnerability, and openness. Remember to treat yourselves with the same kindness you show to others today! 🌿✨

🌳Acorns today 2-4pm Blaby Drop In Centre - Blaby & Glen Parva Community Service 🌳

We will be talking about Self Love and Worth 💚

💚True self-love isn't about arrogance or selfishness—it is about inner alignment and basic self-respect. It is the deep realisation that your value doesn't depend on how much you produce, what you look like, or the validation you receive from the outside world 🌿

Remember - 🪷You are worthy of the same kindness you freely give to everyone else🪷

❓Who needs a reminder to check in with your own heart and be kinder to yourself

Comment ⬇️ below how you are feeling today and what you will do to remember your Self Worth 🌸🩷
