May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Spend some time this week really considering how you are doing. Use the following prompts to journal or contemplate:

💚How am I feeling today, really? Physically and mentally?
💚What do I need at this moment?
💚What does my body need?
💚What are my emotional needs right now?
💚What’s taking up most of my headspace right now?
💚What can I let go of that is getting in the way of my health and well-being?
💚How would it help me if I contacted a professional who could help me feel better?
💚Am I prepared to offer support if someone asks for it?
