Showing Up For Your Mental Health (+ Free Digital Download)

May is many things and it’s definitely much more than that Justin Timberlake meme circulating around on Day One. It’s also an awareness month that tends to fall under the radar: Mental Health Awareness Month.

Our other months are themed towards manifesting and self love, but for May, Lovet Planners chooses to join and participate in Mental Health Awareness Month to not just speak on mental health, but remind everyone that mental health needs to be destigmatized and that we’re all in this together.

This year for May, The National Alliance on Mental Wellness (NAMI) is amplifying the message of “Together For Mental Health”.

 

They share on their site, “Together, we can realize our shared vision of a nation where anyone affected by mental illness can get the appropriate support and quality of care to live healthy, fulfilling lives.”

It all starts with each one of us; getting a better understanding of mental health, the discussions around it, and more importantly, offering ourselves grace. Over 40 million adults in the United States experience anxiety of varying degrees, at least 75% of Americans in the US go undiagnosed for ADHD, and more. 

We’ve got a long way to go.

So to set the intention of showing up for your mental health while supporting this message, let’s repeat a few affirmations together.

I am enough.

(Mental illness or not, you are enough.)

Healing is possible for me.

(It’s true that trauma changes the brain, but the best part is…so does healing.)

I show myself and others kindness and compassion.

(Kindness and compassion are driving forces in the discussions.)
