Healthy Goals That Will Help You Manage Your Grief

Healthy Goals That Will Help You Manage Your Grief
 

Living with grief is often an exhausting, emotional process that can leave you feeling out of control as it ebbs and flows. Because feelings of grief can seem to diminish and then show up when you least expect it, it’s important to learn a few ways to manage those feelings when they arrive so that you’re not overwhelmed. Taking good care of your mind and body is a great start, but you can also think about how to reduce stressors in your life and look for support; My Grief Connection is a helpful community that strives to make the journey through grief a bit more manageable by providing support resources and counseling information.
 
Here are a few things to consider when you’re ready to find ways to heal:
 
Reduce stress where you can
 
Because feelings of grief are often made worse when there are other difficult emotions present, it’s important to learn how to manage things like stress or anxiety. Reducing stress can be challenging, but you can start by getting a higher quality of rest each night and prioritizing your mental health. It also helps to think about where your biggest stressors lie and pinpoint triggers; for instance, if you’re experiencing stress related to your job, consider the source of those feelings. Are you unhappy with the work itself? Making a big career change in the midst of grief might be overwhelming, but you can start setting a few objectives now and take slow steps toward them. Not only is this rewarding, it can give you a feeling of control over something in your life that’s making you unhappy.
 
Use free tools to boost your career
 
When you’re ready to make a career change, having the right tools at hand is essential. Not only will this help to alleviate stress or anxiety over an impending lifestyle shift, but it will also allow you to stand out in the eyes of potential employers. Resources such as an online resume creator and free templates will give you the tools you need to create a stellar resume using a premade format that’s fully customizable. Rather than creating a resume from scratch–which is time-consuming–simply choose from a library of professional-looking formats and add your own copy.
 
Manage difficult feelings with a hobby
 
Whether you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or just need to find some relief from the emotional roller coaster that is grief, picking up a calming hobby can be extremely helpful. Not only can this be beneficial for your mental health in general, it can actually help you work through your grief and/or trauma. In fact, art therapy is often used in professional counseling settings to help individuals express their feelings safely. You might paint, draw, sculpt, write, or play music in order to process your emotions through a creative outlet. Many people who have never taken up a creative hobby before feel apprehensive at first, believing they don’t have the skills to pull it off, but it’s not about skill. Feeling your way through art therapy can help you manage difficult feelings, which is most important.
 
Find support at home and elsewhere
 
While art therapy is a tool that can be used when you’re alone, it’s important to also find ways to manage feelings of grief through support from friends, family, and others who understand what you’re going through. Utilize tools like My Grief Connection to find support groups near you or to connect with others who are grieving. Because grief can feel like a solitary emotion, it often makes us feel isolated, so making connections can be extremely helpful.
 
Learning to take care of yourself, set some small goals, and utilize free online tools that can help with a career change are all great ways to manage grief, but it still takes time to heal. Remember that there is no one right way to deal with those emotions, and the journey is different for everyone.

World Mental Health Day: Let's Make Mental Health & Well-being For All A Global Priority - 10 Oct 2022

World Mental Health Day: Let's Make Mental Health & Well-being For All A Global Priority
October 10, 2022

Did you know that:
- Close to 1 billion people have a mental health disorder
- 
1 in 8 people around the globe live with mental health conditions
- The COVID-19 pandemic caused a 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide.
- 
A leading cause of illness & disability is depression
- 
1 person dies every 40 seconds from suicide
- 
3 million people die every year due to the harmful & excessive use of alcohol
​- 
In some countries, people with mental health conditions are more likely to suffer severe human
rights violations, discrimination, and stigma

2022's World Mental Health Day comes at a very challenging time as we all emerge from the COVID-19
pandemic. No nations and most health systems were unprepared for the mental health crisis associated with
the pandemic. 
In addition to the pandemic, the world is also struggling to cope with the effects of the war in Ukraine, significant displacement, climate emergency, a cost-of-living crisis, and skyrocketing levels of grief and loss, all of which have consequences for the well-being of world citizens. The global rates of individuals having suicidal thoughts are increasing. Also, people experiencing mental health conditions and their families are dealing with governments failing to prioritize mental health or living where services for mental, neurological, and substance use disorders have been significantly disrupted. Funding and investment in mental health programs on all levels are more critical than ever. For these reasons and more, the goal of the World Mental Health Day 2022 campaign is to make mental health & well-being for all a global priority! Undoubtedly, the need for mental health and psychosocial care and support will significantly increase in the months and years to come. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on people's mental health. Some groups have been particularly affected, including health and other frontline workers, students, people living alone, the elderly,
and those with pre-existing mental health conditions. 
Let us honor all health and care professionals' daily
work, which often includes providing mental health care for others. We can all play our part in increasing awareness about what preventive mental health interventions work.

International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day Global 'Wave of Light'
October 15, 2022 at 7:00 PM Local Time

Join in the Global 'Wave of Light' on October 15th at 7:00 PM local time. Help continue that world
glow and spread awareness about this special day by sharing this image from Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. 
October 15th is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day and is recognized worldwide. 
It's the culmination of Baby Loss Awareness Week within Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. Connect
with other families across the globe by lighting a candle at 7:00 PM local time and leave it burning for at
least 1 hour in honor and remembrance of all babies that have died way too soon. 
Join a digital
'Wave of Light" as well. Please take a photo of your burning candle and post it to ​Facebook,
​Instagram, or Twitter using the #WaveOfLight at 7:00 PM local time.
