Practical Applications
- Recognise your thoughts – and separate your ‘thoughts’ from ‘yourself’ – you are not your thoughts.
- Have a wellbeing strategy to set yourself up for success – start small and celebrate your progess.
- Normalise that we don’t know how to do it all, but you can learn from somone that does.
You can quote us on that…
“When you have seen the darkest side of depression, and you’ve lost a parent to suicide, then to realise that it doesn’t have to be like that is, on the one hand confronting, but on the other hand, it’s extremely empowering.”
Katrina Myers
“Be kind to yourself. Give yourself a break.”
Katrina Myers
“It’s not until you take radical responsibility for everything in your life that things really start to change.”
