πŸ’™ Mental Health Awareness Week πŸ’™ Kirsty has πŸ’™ Mental Health Awareness Week πŸ’™

Kirsty has shared with you her favourite things to do that contribute towards a #PostiveMindset

"Relaxing and Unwinding is an important way to help with Mental Health. These three things help me unwind: 

🧁 Baking 🧁 I love to bake for friends and family. I find the process very calming, and you get to have cake at the end which is a bonus! Cake is great ☺️

πŸ‘£ Walking πŸ‘£ I enjoy exploring the Lake District and going on walks with my partner in crime, Alfie 🐢❀️

πŸ“š Reading πŸ“š I find there is nothing better after a stressful day then escaping into another world for a few hours. My favourite book is Alice in Wonderland for that very reason. The most recent book I have read is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid which I highly recommend! ☺️"

πŸ’™ Mental Health Awareness Week πŸ’™ For Mental πŸ’™ Mental Health Awareness Week πŸ’™

For Mental Health Awareness Week, we are thinking about Loneliness πŸ’­

Loneliness is a feeling that we all can experience at some point, opening up and sharing your thoughts and feelings can help break down barriers for us to have open conversations about our mental health πŸ—£οΈπŸ§ 

Kirsty from Hello Future has shared her experience of feeling lonely during Lockdown πŸ’™

"With this year's Mental Health Awareness Week theme being loneliness, it got me thinking back to December 2021. With the reintroduction of the work from home guidance, I would go days without speaking to anyone (apart from virtual work meetings). I started to experience feeling really lonely. I tried to think of ways I could meet people as I had only recently moved back to Cumbria after living away for several years. I am an avid reader so I decided a book club could be a good option. I wasn't able to find a local book club that I felt would be the right fit so I decided to reach out to a friend, who also loves reading, to see whether they would be interested in starting a book club with me. Fast forward to April 2022, we have launched our book club @bookwithabrewcarlisle on social media receiving a positive response and Waterstones reached out to host the group. Our first meeting is happening in May with monthly meetings following. It is very exciting ☺️"

πŸ’™ Mental Health Awareness Week πŸ’™ Kirsty at πŸ’™ Mental Health Awareness Week πŸ’™

Kirsty at Hello Future has shared her Mental Health experience with you 

Let's start breaking down barriers and talking about how we really feel πŸ—£οΈ

"Like many people during Lockdown, I decided to get fit and lose weight at the beginning of 2021 (New Year, New Me sort of thing). I started running 3 times per week, working out 3 times per week, and changing my diet. Over the course of three months, I reached my target weight. However, I couldn't allow my mindset to change from losing weight to maintaining weight. Over the following months, I became significantly underweight leading to many issues, such as body weakness. Much of this weight loss was due to my mental health. I had become unhappy in elements of my life and exercise/food became something I could control. I became obsessed with weighing myself and I would prevent myself from eating certain things or certain portion sizes (it became a devil on your shoulder situation). If I did allow myself, I would obsess over it for a long time resulting in making myself eat less food later and doing several workouts. It reached the point I had to consult a doctor which I did frequently for several months. In order to become better I realised I needed a change, so I ended up changing jobs and moving back home to be closer to family. Over several months, I have managed to build myself back to a healthy weight and I am currently working on a 'listen to my body' mindset for food and exercise. I am by no means completely better; I still have the same thoughts and food issues, which can at times consume my mind, and I recently was falling back in to constantly weighing myself. I have now stored away the scales and fight those thoughts telling me not to eat. Fortunately, I have great friends around me who are supportive and understanding in helping me gain the skills to battle these thoughts."
