Reflection for Global Peace Day and its importance from Richard Anthony Callahan President for NAMI Johnston County, NC, Inc.

09/21/2025

🌍💙 International Day of Peace & Mental Health 💙🌍

The International Day of Peace, established by the United Nations in 1981, is a reminder that peace is not only about nations and communities—it’s also about the peace we seek within ourselves.

For those living with mental health conditions, peace can mean calm in the middle of anxiety, hope during depression, or comfort when grief feels overwhelming.

At NAMI, we believe that creating a culture of acceptance, support, and compassion is a vital step toward building both inner peace and peace in our world.

💡 Ways we can spread peace through mental health awareness:
• Listen without judgment and create safe spaces for open conversations.
• Offer support and encouragement to those struggling—you never know the impact your kindness can have.
• Advocate for accessible mental health resources so no one has to walk alone.
• Practice self-care and mindfulness to cultivate personal peace.

Today, on International Day of Peace, let’s remember that every act of kindness, every effort to break stigma, and every moment of support brings us closer to the peaceful world we all long for.



When we share kindness in everyday interactions—it ripples far beyond what we may ever see but the impact is not invisible it can mean everything to someone!

Try and find one thing that makes you happy and do it today and then share what you did and how it made you feel!

Sharing is Caring!!

A few ideas:

🌼 1. Step Outside for just 5 Minutes

Sit on your porch, feel the sun, listen to the birds, or look at the sky. Just breathe.

☕ 2. Make Your Favorite Warm Drink

Try a new tea and soak in a warm bath

💌 3. Send a Kind Text to Someone You Care About

A simple “thinking of you” can boost your mood just as much as theirs.

🎶 4. Play a Song That Makes You Smile

Dance, hum, or just let it wash over you. One feel-good song can shift your whole energy.

✨ 5. Light a Candle or Use Essential Oils

Scents like lavender, citrus, or vanilla can create instant calm or joy in your space.

Whatever you do we hope it soothes and nourishes your soul!
