June is men’s mental health awareness month!

While men and women both struggle with mental health challenges, men are significantly more likely to ignore their mental health due to cultural expectations and the stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment. If you know someone who needs support, or if you are experiencing mental health symptoms please reach out to a counseling center or crisis line.

🧘 Mindfulness: a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.

Practicing mindfulness regularly has been shown to have wonderful benefits for both physical and mental health.

Here are some mindfulness exercises you can start practicing today!

❤️ Use your senses to observe an object - how does it look, feel, smell, taste, and sound?

❤️ Listen to music mindfully - pay attention to the beat, the lyrics, and how the song makes you feel.

❤️ Take a mindful walk - notice the sound your feet make on the ground, the way the wind feels on your skin, and how the nature around you looks.

Fact #2: Mental health can significantly impact your physical health. Those with unaddressed mental health challenges can experience a shorter life expectancy, a higher risk of developing heart disease, and even the development of sleep disorders.

May is mental health awareness month 💚

Throughout the month we will focus on the benefits of prioritizing mental health and ideas for incorporating positive mental health practices into your life.

Fact #1: Approximately one in five people have a mental health condition, but only roughly half of those suffering seek help. There are many reasons people are resistant to therapy, including the stigma associated with mental health treatment and the availability/affordability of counseling.

If you are struggling with your mental health, reach out to us to see how we can help!

On this beautiful Thanksgiving Eve, we just want to practice some gratitude for how wonderfully our first annual Turkey Bowl went. We want to say thank you to:

*Paul & Tiffany Cardinal for facilitating the event
*Angel Adair
*Jesse Hale
*James Wade for donating time to help Paul & Tiffiany
*Canon City Lanes for hosting the event
*The community of 144 bowlers whose financial contribution will go to RMBH annual Christmas for Kids
*RMBH staff for their continued support and commitment to the community

We are extremely proud to announce that this event raised over $3000 for our Christmas for Kids! So many families will be touched by the contributions of the community and we cannot be more grateful to be in the position to help.

Be on the lookout next year for our second annual Turkey Bowl 😉

With Thanksgiving coming up quick, errands to run, and food to prepare 🦃 Let’s not forget about the message behind the holiday. Thanksgiving is a time to gather and celebrate the blessings of the year. In the midst of spending time with family and friends, and having that second piece of pumpkin pie, don’t forget to reflect on the things you are grateful for this year!

Today is the First Annual Turkey Bowl! 30 teams are competing for the title of winner 🥇 Lots of prizes and fun being had today!

Everyone can probably relate to wanting the things you don’t have. A nicer car, a bigger house, a better job… the list goes on. But when you constantly focus on what you wish you had, you stop appreciating everything you already have. Increase your happiness by putting more focus on what you DO have.

Take some time today to reflect on a few things in your life you love. Make a conscious effort to remind yourself of these things more often, especially when life is feeling extra hard.

Practicing gratitude daily can help you pay more attention to the positive aspects of your day instead of noticing the things that don’t go your way. Over time, this practice will allow you to see the good more often! Here are some ideas for noticing and appreciating the good in your life!

1. Keep a gratitude journal to remind yourself of the little things you enjoy and are thankful for. 📓 Recording moments of gratitude that have to do with every day situations, your personal characteristics, or loved ones can help to ingrain a consistent theme of gratitude in your life.

2. Share your gratitude with others 🥰 letting your loved ones know you are appreciative of something they have done for you can strengthen your relationships

3. Remind yourself of the bad every now and then. Remembering the storms 🌩️ you have weathered can help you better appreciate the good you have now 🌈
