Today is the perfect day to celebrate optimism and constructive thinking. Regardless of life’s challenges, anyone can steer their minds towards positivity. Not only does it feel good to think positively, but it also has health benefits! Positive thinking has the power to reduce the risk of heart diseases and alleviate stress and anxiety. Studies have also shown that positive thinking can increase a person’s life span and keep them healthy for a longer period. In fact, positive thinking is so crucial to your body that it can help build immunity and resistance towards minor illnesses such as the common cold.

Think positively by:

1. Surrounding yourself with positive people
2. Don’t say anything to yourself that you wouldn’t say to any else
3. Follow a healthy lifestyle
4. Be gentle and encouraging with yourself

Tell us one positive action you’ll take today down in the comments!

Mental health is something everyone deals with although everyone has varying levels of what that looks like.

World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to meaningfully engage with people with lived experience (PWLE) of mental health conditions and to recognize their knowledge as a vital form of expertise. Too often, PWLE are asked to share their stories but excluded from decisions. Meaningful engagement extends beyond simply being heard.

What does this look like?

Joining programs like peer support, mentorship and community-based care empower people to help others through shared experiences and meaningful conversations.

Organizations like Connections Individual and Family Services and Mckenna Foundation help build stronger relationships and community ties as well as social support to improve mental health outcomes.

What’s one way you protect your mental health? Let us know in the comments!
