đź’šFinding community, setting boundaries and exercising healthy coping skills are ingredients to becoming resilient!

đź’šWhat is resiliency? Resiliency is the process and outcome of being able to successfully adapt and endure through difficult and challenging life experiences.

đź’šResilience is something you must work for and choose to exercise daily. It might not always come naturally, but a good sense of resiliency will enable you to face problems and difficult situations head on, helping you live a healthier and happier life! We want to encourage you that if you feel you need more tools in your resiliency toolbox, to locate a licensed mental health professional and ask for help.

🎉This week, take a moment to appreciate how far you have come, and continue to practice resilience in looking forward to who you want to be.

How you react to the situations you are in is just as important as the situations themselves. We can’t always control what life throws at us, but we can control how we respond and work to grow.

Learning and developing healthy coping skills will not only help you at the moment but will be significant in making you resilient. Don’t forget that coping skills can vary from person to person and also based on the type of situation.

Mindfulness through meditation and physical activities like gardening in the Sowing Seeds Community Garden are two great examples of coping skills you can try!

This week, take a moment to be mindful when faced with a difficult or stressful situation.

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness month. One of the best gifts you can give yourself is being a part of a community by making healthy connections around you. When it comes to community, encourage yourself to prioritize quality over quantity.

đź’šOne of the biggest advantages of forming quality connections is its role in deterring depression, anxiety and dementia. Not only can forming new quality connections be enjoyable in the moment, but they can also build joy in other parts of your life too!

💚You can start making connections anywhere- at your place of work, worship, learning, or living! The Sowing Seeds Community Garden and Acres Homes Farmer’s Market is a great place to start connections here in Acres Homes!

đź’šThis week, take action to prioritize yourself and your mental health by exploring one new community space or participating in one of your local community events!
