We’re in the habit of checking emails, the news, messages, and notifications without thinking, but how often do we check in with ourselves?

Pausing to notice your mood, energy, and stress level is a small habit that can make a big difference over time. Our February campaign invites you to take a positive step in your mental health and to check in with yourself using our Self-Check Suite.

Love a love search!

Slow your scroll and ground yourself in the present by searching for any of the following:

- The initial of the person you love
- Something you’d give as a gift
- A pencil and 2 paintbrushes
- Heart-shaped locks (and keys!)
- A broken or cracked heart
- All of the conversation hearts
- Something you’d wear in winter
- Flowers that are pink or red
- All 4 of the four-leaf clovers
- The words “I love you”
- Something delicious to eat
- All the lips and lipsticks
- A heart-shaped musical note
- The words “I love me”

In looking for these, you’re using one of your five senses to connect with the present moment. You can do this anywhere by looking around you for a specific color or shape — or come back here anytime and choose an another option from the list to guide yourself back to the moment!

I made a cheat sheet for some Valentine's Day contemplation and reflection!

Close your eyes and imagine everything working out exactly how you hope it will. Imagine the details, the way it feels. Try to keep that feeling with you throughout your day.

Shorter days and cold temperatures can affect more than just your mood. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a real, recognized type of depression that follows seasonal patterns.

SAD and ADHD frequently co-occur, with ADHD symptoms like poor focus, sleep issues, and executive dysfunction worsening in winter due to reduced sunlight disrupting circadian rhythms, impacting serotonin/melatonin, and exacerbating existing ADHD challenges. ❄️😔

An amazing reminder when (not if), healing isn't linear.

A step back can still be part of the growth.

The next time someone says something kind about you or recognizes something you've done well - try believing them instead of just dismissing it. Fight that voice that says you're not good enough. You *are* enough, and the people who see your worth aren't wrong about you.
