It’s true that the effects of trauma can be passed down through generations.

What’s also true is that the capacity to heal and the effects of positive growth can also be transmitted to loved ones. 💕

Did you know that our brains are wired with a negative bias? Our ancestors needed this for their very survival! (Think: don’t eat that plant, it will kill you…).

Now, we have these brains prone to heightened levels of anxiety and alarm, while we live in a world where our food is packaged neatly and generally safe.

The good news: our brains are also equipped with neuroplasticity, which allows our brains to grow and adapt. This means, many of our negative thoughts are no longer serving us, and it’s time we learn to challenge them!

Maybe you messed up, and you’re telling yourself “I’m never going to get this right.” Well, that thought is rooted in positive intent (growth), but instead often holds us back from that very intent.

Here’s one tool to help!

🌟 May is Mental Health Awareness Month! 🌟

Let's take this month to shine a light on an important topic: mental health. It's a time to raise awareness, break the stigma, and prioritize self-care. Here's how you can get involved:

1️⃣ Educate Yourself: Take the time to learn about mental health conditions, warning signs, and available resources. Knowledge is power!

2️⃣ Start Conversations: Break the silence surrounding mental health by starting open and honest conversations with friends, family, and colleagues. You never know who might need your support.

3️⃣ Practice Self-Care: Remember to prioritize your own mental well-being. Whether it's going for a walk, journaling, or practicing mindfulness, find activities that help you feel grounded and rejuvenated.

4️⃣ Support Others: Reach out to those who may be struggling and offer your support. A simple check-in can make a world of difference to someone who is feeling alone.

5️⃣ Spread Awareness: Share posts, resources, and stories about mental health on your social media platforms. Together, we can amplify our voices and make a positive impact.

Let's make this Mental Health Awareness Month one to remember. Remember, you are not alone, and it's okay to ask for help. Together, we can create a world where mental health is treated with the care and compassion it deserves. 💚
