Inspirational junk: there's so much of it on social media. One of my favourite genres of junk are the ultra sincere videos, where a coach/speaker earnestly looks into the camera, saying: "You are enough: everything you need, you already have within you." - What about the 3 million people who had to access a food bank last year? - Everything they need, they already have within them? ... give me a break! Perhaps a better mantra and grounded encouragement is: - Life sucks for alot of people. - Your struggle is not a sign of weakness or poor judgement. - You are not alone. - Do reach out for help. - Don't suffer in silence. - There are good people who want to help you. - Connect with your community and lets push for much needed change in our society. #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #menshealth #community #wellbeing #wellness

Is It Okay to Need Help? In a world that often celebrates self-reliance and independence, it can be easy to feel embarrassed when we need to ask for help. However, the truth is that we all need help at some point in our lives, and asking for it is a sign of strength, not weakness. When we ask for help, we are not only opening ourselves up to new possibilities, but we are also building stronger relationships with those around us. By showing that we are willing to be vulnerable and ask for support, we are creating a space where others can do the same. So, the next time you find yourself struggling with something, don't be afraid to reach out for help. Countless people are willing to lend a hand, and you might be surprised at how much of a difference it can make. #askforhelp #support #vulnerabilityisstrength #togetherweheal #wellbeing

#powerofconversation Our resilience is often built on the strength of our connections. A listening ear, a shared laugh, or simply someone to talk to can make a world of difference. Let's prioritize human connection and lift each other up. We often underestimate the power of a casual conversation. Sharing your thoughts with someone can be a lifeline, helping you navigate life's challenges. Remember, you don't have to face everything alone. Reach out, connect, and let the healing begin. #mentalwellbeing #relationships #support #community #support #mentalhealthmatters #conversation #life

Sometimes, we tend to forget that giving can also change our lives. The act of giving isn’t just about helping others, it’s about transforming yourself too. You may ask; how is this possible? Giving to others would: 1. Strengthens your community as your contributions help build stronger societies. 2. Boosts your mental health as it promotes happiness and reduces stress. 3. Fosters connection, because generosity brings people together, creating lasting bonds. This means by giving, you do not only help others but also yourself. If you haven’t started giving, it’s about time you do. If you have, what do you think about these benefits? Share in the comments if you’ve ever experienced them. Let’s inspire each other to create a better world. #GivingBack #Community #MentalHealth #Connections #Impact #Inspire
