Mental health!
Are we really talking about it?
It looks like we are.
Wherever we look there are news articles, posts, memes, quotes.
But just notice for a moment.
Are we talking about mental health or mental illness.
It's the latter I fear.
We are looking deeply at mental illness.
We are pointing people to mental illness.
We are telling them what it looks like, how it feels, how to know they have it.
Don't get me wrong, I see where this has a place.
But how about if we pointed people to their mental health.
That which is always inside them.
Their inner calm, resilience and confidence.
That which they were born with.
How different would the conversations be then?
I love to have conversations where I show people where they are mentally healthy.
Nicer for them and nicer for me!! (Oh! And much more effective too)
Fancy a conversation like this or know someone who might?
