MAY – MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

Heeeyyyy Bestie xx

How happy are you today??

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the importance of mental well-being, break down stigma, and encourage open conversations about how we’re really doing.

Mental health affects every aspect of our lives, from how we work and connect with others, to how we handle stress and show up for ourselves. And yet, for far too long, it’s been treated as something to hide or power through.

This month, we invite our community to join us in honoring mental health the same way we would physical health: with care, compassion, and proactive support.

Here are a few ways to get involved and stay mentally well this month and beyond:

Check in on yourself and others
A simple “How are you really doing?” can open a door. Take time to pause and reflect, and be that safe space for someone else.

Make self-care a non-negotiable
Whether it’s therapy, meditation, journaling, movement, or setting healthy boundaries — prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

Educate and advocate
Share resources, support mental health initiatives, and challenge stigma when you see it. The more we talk about it, the more we normalize it.

Know that you’re not alone
Everyone struggles sometimes. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength not weakness.

Mental Health Awareness Month reminds us that caring for our minds is just as vital as caring for our bodies. Let’s keep the conversation going, support one another, and create a culture where well-being is always within reach.

Just a gentle reminder 🌞 AFFIRMATIONS for the Month:

• It’s okay to ask for help when I need it.

• I speak to myself with kindness and patience.

• I have survived my hardest days — I can handle what comes next.
• My mental health is a part of my overall well-being, and it deserves care.
• I am enough, just as I am.

Take good care of yourself.

Much Love
