This week is always one of my favourite weeks of the year and that may seem counterintuitive to you. Let me explain why.
It is the week when thousands of professionals, organisations, individuals, survivors and innovators united to share their expertise:
We share experiences and memories that have impacted on our mental health.
We share information and resources that will support others to make changes in their lives.
Most importantly we highlight how mental health impacts every single person globally.
We can all do our bit to bring sunshine and build resilient, compassionate, supportive communities. This movement starts at home, within exploring and understanding your own potential. S
So, the team at Lykkeli are starting off this week with new opportunities to love and understand our own brains. Sharing our selection of favourite mind-blowing media from our team:
The Body Keeps The Score - Bessel Van Der Kolk
“An easily readable primer in how our brains work”
Hågen
Swimming with Men (2018)
“An empathetic film addressing wellness for middle-aged blokes”
Simon P
Wherever You Go, There You Are - Jon Kabat-Ziinn
“The book that got me properly started on mindfulness, and a good start for any thinker (or over-thinker). Part of what I’ve learned as I’ve developed since then is the value of innate intelligence in my emotions and body, as well as my intellectual reasoning ability”
Simon D
Little Miss Sunshine (2001)
“What an example of collaboration and team work, like how they push that mini bus..”
Julie
“Share with your partner, your bin men and your second cousin. The direction of every joyful relationship I have ever seen points towards vulnerability, and understanding how to move away from judging yourself and others. “
