Here's your #mindfulminute for the week! ⠀ .⠀ 🛑Stop scrolling. 🙅‍♀️Pause. Breathe.⠀ .⠀ Now more than ever, we need our communities to give not only their love energy but our support in many other ways. Altruism has multiple positive side effects so you're not only supporting other but also improving your mental health. ⠀ .⠀ 1. Helping others can also improve our support networks and encourage us to be more active. This in turn can improve our self-esteem.⠀ .⠀ 2. It creates a sense of belonging and reduces isolation⠀ .⠀ 3. It helps keep things in perspective⠀ .⠀ 4. An act of kindness can improve feelings of confidence, being in control, happiness and optimism. .⠀ 5. The more you do for others, the more you do for yourself⠀ The benefits of helping others can last long after the act itself, both for you and them.⠀ .⠀ (Source: Mental Health Foundation) ⠀ ⠀ #mindfulminute #resilience101 #beyou #beyourself #acceptyourself #growth #mentalhealth #resilienceforself #personaldevelopment #pers...
