This week’s #mindfulminute from @resilienttoday: 🤔⠀
⠀
Take a deep breath in and count to 5. Breathe it all out. Repeat 5x.⠀
⠀
Do you tend to dwell over certain situations? Do you have a hard time with self-forgiveness? If you think yes this is me to either of these questions, know you are not alone.⠀
⠀
Self-forgiveness can be difficult. But know that you are human. Know that when you feel you made a mistake, you can gain insight from that mistake and become a better person. You can grow from the increased insight and use the opportunity to make better choices in the future. ⠀
⠀
Allow yourself to be at peace with your mistake. Know perhaps that you acted in the best way you were capable of in that moment. Forgive yourself. Learn from the situation. Accept yourself. And move forward. ⏭ ...

You are special and unique. The world needs you exactly as you are. You should be supported and valued for who you are, not just what you do. Surround yourself with friends, family, and employers that support you and value you for who you are. 🧡🍂 ...

In order to decrease suicide rates, we need to be aware. We need to be aware that there are individuals at increased suicide risk. We need to be aware that asking someone about suicide directly is not harmful but is helpful. We need to be aware of suicide prevention crisis lines that can be utilized 24/7 (1-800-273-TALK). We need to be aware of suicide prevention text lines that can also be utilized 24/7 (text help to 741741). 211 is also available to find out more about mental health and behavioral health resources!

Self-care is always a good idea. ⠀
What does self-care look like for you? Is it cooking a healthy meal? Calling an old friend? Taking your dog for a long walk? Playing an instrument? Finding new music to listen to? Creating art? Lighting a new candle? Reading a book? Exercising? ⠀
Whatever it is, make sure to fit it into your schedule each and every day! 5-10 minutes or more if you’re able!! You always deserve to take care of yourself. 🤟 ...
