Today is Name Yourself Day! From birth your parents give you a name and you might pick up a couple nicknames from friends, but these things are out of your control. Today is the day to pick out a name all on your own you feel fits you best. Whether it's a nickname you've never used before or an entirely different name, it's yours to choose. You're free to identify yourself as whatever you want. Who knows, maybe it'll stick.

Today is World Health Day, so as you may have guessed it's all about raising awareness for healthcare.

They say a pinch of prevention is worth a pound of cure. For physical health, it's relatively straightforward, if you're lucky. Eat well, sleep well, exercise, and avoid chronic health risks. Also get a checkup every once in a while to catch the unpreventable stuff before it gets bad. But what about mental health?

Just like physical health is not one sizes fits all, neither is mental health. Mental health is a personalized process and experience. Everyone's looks different, needs different things and has different levels of needs. What do you need today?

Today is the International Day of Conscience, which celebrates the role of each person's conscience guiding their actions.

People like to think there's a universal idea of right and wrong (at least for some things), but that's not really true. Every person's values are molded by their unique experiences and community, which leaves a surprisingly large amount of wiggle room.

Keep this in mind when dealing with conflict. We might not agree on what right and wrong look like, but with empathy and respect we can usually find our way to a solution. What do you keep in mind for figuring out your own conscience?

Most people like to live their lives in the "right", avoiding the "wrong". However, what exactly "right" and "wrong" is subjective and changes person to person. Anyone's family, culture, religion, and personal experience shapes their morality. This week's blog dives into what morality really is and how it's shaped. Come take a look!

Happy April Fools Day! Today's a great opportunity for pranks and jokes, but just remember that pranks are only funny if everyone's laughing. If it ends up with you laughing at them (not with them), that was just being mean.

What's your favorite April Fools prank?

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility! It's estimated that 3.3 million Americans are transgender, or about 1% of the population. That being said, only a minority of the public personally knows a transgender person. This makes it imperative that the media is inclusive of transgender people as well as portrays them accurately, as that's how most people get their understanding of transgenderism.

In the spirit of today, here are a few recommendations for shows/movies that are trans-inclusive:
Squid Game (season 2)
Supergirl
Orange is the New Black
A Man Called Otto
Tales of the City

Take a look and let us know who your favorite trans character is in media.

This week's blog is a bit different from the usual. Instead of diving into some counseling topic, today we've diving into ourselves. We asked the interns here at AIM to answer a few questions and share about themselves. Come take a look and get to know us better.

This week's book recommendation is "Why has nobody told me this before" by Julie Smith. This one is a bit of a catch-all, covering a lot of different subjects. It deals with anxiety, criticism, self-confidence, and self-motivation. Give it a look and see what topic you connect with.

Happy Solitude Day! Humans are social creatures and it's been proven that social interaction is good for your mental health. However, being social takes effort, planning and sometimes 'spoons'. When life feels busy and loud sometimes it's nice to just be alone for a while.

Being alone doesn't mean being lonely. Some people prefer to keep their own company for most of their lives and that can feel quiet and peaceful. There is no one way people "should" live their life no lifestyle is better than another, it's just doing what is right for you.

To celebrate, make time to fly solo and embrace a little solitude. Order coffee and sip it at a table for one. Go on a long walk by yourself. Whatever it is you like, do it alone today and embrace the quiet that comes with it.

Life is full of changes, good, bad and otherwise. Sometimes we have control of these change and sometimes we don't. Eventually this can lead us to become someone we don't recognize. If this is you you can practice reclaiming both yourself and your habits. Join us on this week's blog and learn more about what reclaiming yourself means and how it works.

This week's book recommendation is "Growing yourself up" by Jenny Brown. It explores the relationship between how you view yourself, marriage relationships, parenthood, and even how things change with divorce and old age. Brown explores how your perception of yourself changes with the people around you.

Today is Harmony Day! There are a LOT of different kinds of people out there. Different nationalities, races, genders, economic classes, ages, religions... I could go on. With all the differences between people, it's easy to let it drive us apart. Today is about actively working toward peaceful cooperation between peoples of all kinds and living in harmony.

We all have more in common than sets us apart, you just need to look for it. So next time you see someone who stands out, take a second and look for what you have in common with them. I'll bet you share more things with them than not.

Happy Awkward Moments Day! It happens to all of us. Whether you forgot someone's name even though you've known them for months, left your fly open, or let a secret slip, we've all had our awkward moments. You can't avoid them all, so you gotta learn how to deal with the awkwardness.

Awkward moments can turn into cherished memories if handled well. So don't sweat it if you make things weird every once in a while, it's part of the human condition. Know you're not alone.

Do you ever want 2 things at once? Do those pieces of yourself ever fight for who goes first? This week we dive into IFS (internal family structures), which talks more about those parts and how they effect who we are at different times. Come take a look and let us know what's your favorite part of yourself.
