We are always here for you❤️
Good Morning Hay Fam! A friendly reminder to speak up if you are going through a tough time. We know it can be hard to do so! Have you tried journaling your feelings? Also we are at Hay Africa are always there for you, should you need to talk.
Reality: A mental illness is not a character flaw. It is an illness that has nothing to do with being weak or lacking willpower.
It takes strength to get up everyday and face the world with a mental illness.

One of the biggest misconceptions of living with mental distresses. This prevents individuals from speaking up. Let us change the narrative and provide individuals the opportunity to seek the help they need, without fear of being ridiculed.

Hay Fam! High-stakes elections, like the presidential election taking place in Nigeria, can take a toll on the mental health of voters.
So here are some tips on coping with all the pressures that come with the election and most importantly.
YOU MATTER FIRST!
#ElectionResults
This is one of the most sad misconceptions of individuals living with mental health disorders.
No one chooses to have a mental illness, just as no one would choose to have a physical illness.
Let’s work together to change the narrative.

Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, toughness etc.
People who are physically healthy are able to bounce back from illnesses fast. Likewise, mentally healthy people are able to bounce back from trauma, and stress. This ability is called resilience.

Not all stressors can be avoided. Stress management strategies help you bring things back into balance.
Some of these strategies are:
-Good sleep routine
-Proper dieting
-Make leisure time a priority.
-Take up relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, etc
-Going to Therapy
"Little drops of water make a mighty ocean."
Take;
5 mins off your day to check on someone.
5 mins to be present for someone.
5 mins goes a long way to help and encourage another with their day.
Be kind and gift 5 mins ❤
