🧠 TOPIC: Mental Health�🗣️

This Month's Discussion by Guide⁺ Healthcare Team�
👉 Focus: Mindfulness.

🌿 What Is Mindfulness?
It’s easy to rush through life without noticing what’s happening around—or inside—us.
Mindfulness means paying more attention to the present moment: your thoughts, your feelings, your body, and your surroundings. Practising this regularly can improve your mental wellbeing.

💬 How Does Mindfulness Help?
* Helps you slow down and become more self-aware
* Encourages deeper connection with your surroundings
* Can reduce stress, anxiety, and low mood
* Makes everyday experiences more meaningful

🧘 How To Be More Mindful
Try the 5-4-3-2-1 technique:

❗Is It for Everyone?
Research shows mindfulness can help with:
* Stress
* Anxiety
* Depression

However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Some people find it helpful, while others may not. If you’re unsure, speak with a healthcare professional.
