This is a fantastic campaign encouraging young people to speak out about their mental health. The world is somewhat dark at the moment, so please pass this along to make sure as many people as possible know that they're not alone and support is out there!

Maddy has been making fantastic progress on getting into the stable! She’s all the way in, and now just building up her tolerance and where she feels comfortable facing.
How are you getting on with your top goals? We’d love to know!
If you don’t have any goals at the moment, try to think of 3 things that you’re aiming for. These could be really small, like expanding the ranges of cuisines you like. In which case, maybe your goal can be to try one new cuisine a week.
Or perhaps your goal is bigger, weight loss, weight gain, or getting a new job. Break this down into smaller steps. What small thing can you work on to get you closer to your big goal.
I always try to have a goal for each main area of my life. This could be health, work, family, hobby- anything!

Today, I encourage you to be kind to yourself. Many of you will give advice and kindness to those around you on a daily basis, but when it comes to ourselves we forget such kindness.
Why do we give others compassion and grace but turn a harsh abs stern look in ourselves? Surely this isn’t fair.
Today, practice compassion for yourself. Give yourself a break and don’t be so hard on yourself. Imagine yourself as a friend, what would you tell them if they were in your situation? Give yourself the same grace as you would give them.

Dinner time!
Food can help the soul sometimes and Maddy loves her food!
There is a lot of research into people’s relationship with food and how it affects their mood. What is your relationship with food like?
Mindful eating is still very under-rated and mid understood. We spend so much timing watching TV of on our phone or even engrossed in a conversation while eating. This means we loose appreciation fir how our food tastes.
Take some time while eating your next meal and just have a few mouthfuls where you do nothing but eat. Appreciate the flavours and textures and how you move while eating. This may sound weird but you may be surprised.

Horses have a fabulous meditate stare around them. This makes them the perfect meditation partner.

Do you meditate? Have you meditated today? Would you like to learn to meditate?
