October is Mental Health month and this years theme is ‘Tuning in’. This weeks tip to tune is PRACTICING SELF-COMPASSION  

Practicing self-compassion involves treating yourself with care and understanding during difficult times. We can do this by giving the same kindness and compassion to ourselves as we would to a family member or close friend in the same situation. We can tune in to self-compassion by: 

• Not judging your situation or experience  
• Accepting that it’s okay to feel what you’re feeling 
• Understanding that how you feel is temporary 
• Being kind to yourself instead of self-criticizing. 

This week we encourage you to tune into your thoughts and feelings. Give yourself extra grace and practice self compassion.
