Stop the fall!

It doesn’t matter how much I say it. It doesn’t matter whom I am saying it to. I believe that many people in our communities become unwell unnecessarily. I believe that many people stay unwell for too long. All the emphasis has been on helping people who fall down rather than helping prevent the ‘fall’ occurring in the first place. All I do Is highlight our vulnerability to unhealthy stress and how our thinking mechanisms (acquired from belief systems) influence our feelings and behaviour. I remind people that we all have to invest in wellness and that thousands of people take their health for granted. Our mental health is like a fragile bowl. It can shatter so easily. We need to mind ourselves. Crisis is inevitable and we need to mind ourselves through he inevitable crises that unfold.
