Mental Health is a Critical Public Health Need.
Here is a simple practice to try that can help grow the Health in mental for us all.
It’s called 5,3,1.
5- minutes of prayer or meditation a day. Sit upright, find your breath and set your timer. Spend 5 minutes bringing your attention to your breath or another anchor (word or image). Don’t worry about a racing mind- keep returning to your anchor.
3- write down 3 appreciations. Let your mind take in the good of 3 unique moments in your day where you felt satisfied, connected, safe or happy. There’s nothing too small. It all counts.
1- act of kindness. Maybe this one needs to be towards yourself today, or maybe someone else. Whatever the case generosity helps both the giver and the receiver.
