Mental Health Awareness
As Mental Health Awareness month winds down, I want to highlight an organization I have shared with you previously, Copper Beech Institute. Last week, after Zooming around all week, like so many of you, I took advantage of a workplace wellness program offered by the Institute. As I shared in a Facebook post earlier today, I “showed up for myself,” as they encouraged us to do during this session.
Those few moments of mindful breathing, body scanning and loving kindness were a tremendous gift. As Dr. Koneru shared, “What we practice grows stronger.” This was an opportunity to “peel back the layers of ourself so we can shift from reactivity to responsiveness.”
We are all weary, beleaguered, perhaps stressed or even extremely anxious. May we be safe, may we be healthy, may we be happy and may we be peaceful as Dr. Koneru wished for us. And may we practice loving kindness towards one another. And in that practice may the kindness grow stronger and stronger.
