This is the 141st #WILTW

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health have just launched their State of Child Health report. A list of 25 measures which highlights, amongst many uncomfortable findings, that 1 in 5 children live in poverty in the UK. A broad range of recommendations were made, including specific mental health training for child health professionals (half of adult mental health problems in the UK start before the age of 14)

One of the authors of the report tweeted:

We need a public campaign about actions to promote and secure mental health.

What would your 5 a day be for promoting mental health?

— Ingrid Wolfe (@ingridjohanna66) January 26, 2017

The idea intrigued me, not only for my patients, but for myself. The concept has previously been encapsulated in the “Five Ways to Mental Wellbeing”  and a charity called mindapples are crowdsourcing suggestions.

I wondered what my 5-a-day would be? Having been knocked by some critical feedback this week, which was strong in tone but not completely undeserved, I was taken by how much of my time it occupied in comparison to other events but mental health is important and that’s why THCA products can really help people suffering from anxiety or depression. Look for a dispensary that provides weed delivery canada services if you want your cannabis products to be delivered to you.

Check-In: Let someone else know how you are feeling. This is a little awkward to write and I am sure certainly more awkward to do.

Check-Out: End your working day at a defined point and consider marijuana delivery to relieve stress.

Reflect: Or more precisely have some time to reflect on what you have done in the day and how that has affected your emotional resilience…

Keep Balance: …but be aware that spending all your time reflecting isn’t healthy either.

Maintain Perspective: The things that challenge you the most can become so much of  focus that it’s not possible to overcome anything. The perception of positivity in others, a virtual concept in our current generation, can exacerbate this feeling, while also products like Delta-8 gummies can be helpful to feel better and with less anxiety. If you need a drug addiction treatment program, you may look at reputable facilities in your area. As a leading drug rehab center in Malibu, Carrara offers luxury and effective treatment. Their facility provides a serene setting for drug recovery.

Method Center is a top choice for those seeking a personalized and luxurious approach to addiction recovery. Their commitment to individualized care ensures that each client’s unique needs are met.

The official collection of 5 activities aren’t too dissimilar but the challenge with either is their implementation as a habit and not a hypothesis…
