The 10 October is World Mental Health Day. First celebrated in 1992 as an initiative of the World Federation for Mental Health, it’s a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma. The 2023 Theme is Mental health is a universal human right.

    Asking for help is my favourite quote because for many it’s so hard to do.

      Hi Gail, so true! We like to offer and give help, but it’s hard to be vulnerable and ask for help! Emma-Louise x

      I love the last one about being easy to love. This is kind of where I am at in my journey. I am learning that I am lovable as well as I am loved unconditionally always.

        Hi Diana, I love that quote too. If we all thought we were easy to love (loved unconditionally – not having to be different somehow first), how different we would feel and how different the world would be! You are absolutely loved! Em xxx

        Hi Bill, absolutely. I think kind people do this to help others feel better. And yet it is often UNkind to ourselves to do this. It’s a hard balance to find. Warmly, Emma-Louise

    I used to keep the Milne quote on my desk at work and now it’s a sticker on my laptop! It always gave me courage to face whatever was being thrown at me.
