World Mental Health Day
Yesterday was World Mental Health Day and I listened to a few podcasts on my walk. One theme that kept popping up is how important it is to find to find things to be grateful for, and. the more we look for positives the more we will see. One of the podcasts also talked about the importance of anger - it is an emotion that motivates us and gets us going, but also that it is not an energy we can sustain. Another idea that resonated with me was that self care isn't about feeling happy or finding joy all the time, but rather allowing ourself to feel all of our feelings. 
On the topic of gratitude, this Ted Talk from 2011 is one I thought you might enjoy. It's just six minutes long.
Nature’s beauty can be fleeting -- but not through Louie Schwartzberg’s lens. His stunning time-lapse photography, accompanied by powerful words from Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast, serves as a meditation on being grateful for every day.
