Happy Life Habits (HLH) is again supporting Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) and the theme of Anxiety.

Mental Health and anxiety is about what is going on inside with our thoughts and feelings. We all feel moments of anxiety due to various things which can include health, work, loved ones, money worries, exams and life/world events.

You are not alone in feeling anxiety. It has been show to increase in recent years.

According to a survey by the Mental Health Foundation 25% (1 in 4) adults reported feeling anxious.

It's how we cope with it that matters. HLH has a dedicated Mental Health WhatsApp group as part of its Community. During MHAW we will share daily tips, quotes, resources to cope with anxiety.

On Thurs 18th May we have these free events:

(1) Gratitude for Wellbeing Workshop for Mind in Enfield & Barnet

(2) MasterClass on Coping with Anxiety 8-9pm ( Zoom details will be shared in WhatsApp group)

I just couldn't wait to share this. Yesterday I spent a few hours curating additional resources for Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) starting next week which included watching more than a dozen TED Talks.

I've got some fantastic material including an anxiety test, TED Talks, Quotes, Articles and the HLH MHAW Video series.

I will start sharing this today on the HLH Mental Health WhatsApp group today as it spans more than a week's worth of content.

During MHAW there will be about 3 or 4 messages throughout the day to share the content: Video, Quote, Article, TED Talk.

I watched all the short HLH MHAW Video series which I had shot during the pandemic. The material in my biased opinion is still awesome.

Here is the intro video - please watch, the title page has the topics.

Each video is short, content rich, has my personal experience, science/facts, an inspiring quote and most importantly an action for you to do each day.

Only in taking action will we make a difference and change. Information is information. When applied, actioned and lived it becomes experience and wisdom.

Here is one of the first TED Talks I curated a few weeks back, it is packed with great information and also has 2 practices you can immediately apply to help with anxiety. Reassuringly the 2 practices are shared in the mini video series.

How did you score?

What an amazing Coronation concert. Absolutely loved watching it on TV. Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Take That rocked it.

Do you think they were anxious? If so, they certainly did not show it. They owned the stage, the moment and engaged and connected with the audience both at Windsor Castle and those watching at home.

Watch the video with Katy Perry and Take That videos - they exudes calm confidence and you can see the joy in their performances.

How did they cope with any anxiety?

I believe they all have learnt to develop calm confidence, an antidote to anxiety.

What makes you feel anxiety?

We all feel moments of anxiety due to various things which can include health, work, loved ones, money worries, exams and life/world events.

How do you cope with Anxiety?

Calm Confidence is something we will share at the Free Happy Life Habits Anxiety Master Class in support of Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW). We will also share :

What is Anxiety?

Symptoms

Ways to Cope

Do actionable activities

Q&A

The zoom link will be shared in the HLH Mental Health WhatsApp Group.

Starting soon and also during MHAW we will share daily resources including videos, quotes, articles, actions etc. in the Mental Health Group.

Please share with those who you think may benefit from this.

I am hoping to write an article with various resources and additional material after MHAW.
