January is Mental Health Month - A Poem
Contributed by Andrei Chakine
In January's glow, let's find our cheer,
For Mental Health Awareness is here!
A time to focus, to understand,
Our minds and hearts, hand in hand.
If shadows linger, seek help, don't delay,
In understanding and care, find your way.
For it's okay to ask, to reach out,
In seeking support, there's strength, not doubt.
Then, with a heart open and light,
Embrace self-care, shining bright.
Dance in your room or jog in the park,
Move your body, ignite the spark.
Ring a friend, share a laugh or two,
Connections heal, this much is true.
Close your eyes, breathe deep and slow,
In meditation's peace, let worries go.
Carve out some me-time, just for you,
In joyous solitude, let spirits renew.
Embrace a hobby, let creativity flow,
In every stitch and brushstroke, let it show.
In these simple acts, combined with grace,
A stronger, happier mind we'll embrace.
As we journey through this year,
With these simple tips, let's persevere.
For in every step, small or great,
Lies the power to rejuvenate.
