#MentalHealthMonday

Thank you @Kerrbearlib for creating this #MentalHealthMonday

Well, it had nothing to do with a Christmas slump that I fell into after Jan. 6th, it was purely a reading slump...a real struggle to stay in the story.

Therefore we spent the weekend watching fantasy and Christmas movies (including the TV broadcast of Beauty & The Beast).

It was a rechargeathon, which refuelled my love for all things fantasy and hopefulness.

👇

AnnCrystal This evening I have returned to reading, and without a problem on staying engaged with the story 📚💝.

We had to check for news updates today, due to the fire risks...but limited ourselves.

#MentalHealthMonday planning to avoid the news.big NPR listener , not today.turned on the local classical music station that has no news,just noting its MLK day & featuring some well known & lesser known African American composers.Played w/ my cats , some reading.Visited the newest location of the Az Humane Soc. is also bittersweet, I want to take all the cats ,dogs ,& critters home. Inspiring to watch volunteers work to get animals adopted .

CBee We had the Weather Channel on all day. Absolutely no news except local due to this crazy winter weather we‘re having. 2h
Leftcoastzen @CBee weather is crazy everywhere . Central Az. Is slightly cooler than average but nothing drastic. I can‘t believe how cold it is some places and no snow. 2h
AmyG I watched the Weather Channel for a bit. Instead of the news this morning I watched the movie Meatballs. 🤣 1h

MemoirsForMe @AmyG 😁 Haven‘t seen that movie in ages! I kept the TV off and cleaned the house. 50m
Kerrbearlib That's really cool about the composers. Any you recommend checking out? I find classical music great for relaxation! Thanks for sharing about your day today! now

Thanks to @Kerrbearlib for starting a #MentalHealthMonday post! This ties in so well with the hygge and self-care posts by @AllDebooks , @Chrissyreadit , and @TheBookHippie …I‘ve become more and more vocal over mental health awareness over the last few years, and it takes posts like there to remind myself to just stop and breathe. Thank you!

Last night, I deleted my social media apps from my phone…⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️…which means I‘ll only sporadically post & view my feeds when I‘m at my computer. Today, it‘s been so nice not to doomscroll. I gave myself permission to have a self care day, take a little extra time to think and reflect on life, read, and I plan to meditate a bit later (I want to get back in the habit of it). I loved the discussions from the #LiteraryCrew about heroes, setting boundaries, and taking care of oneself. And, I held my cats. ❤️ 3h

kspenmoll So glad to hear of your self care- I took a walk in our new snow, watched escapist movies like Agatha Christie & Vera on Britbox, read, cooked bolognese for dinner. 💕 15m
Librarybelle Sounds like a good self care day, @kspenmoll ! ❤️ I need to get back to Vera. I‘ve seen maybe the first 4 or 5 seasons. 10m
Kerrbearlib You're welcome! I'm strongly considering deleting most of my socials, too. They're just not good for my mental health anymore. Litsy is one of the only platforms that doesn't make me feel worse. Thanks for sharing your day! now
Prairiegirl_reading I‘ve had Instagram deleted since the beginning of the month, I logged off fb this week to see how long I can go. It‘s hard! now

Reposting this idea/weekly event for @Kerrbearlib

Kerrbearlib's post on Litsy https://litsy.com/p/MXZFQ05BaDVC

She says: Welcome to #MentalHealthMonday! What are you doing today to take care of your mental health? Check out her post! 💙

For me, I‘m working (at home) today & trying to stay off non-Litsy social media & news & keeping fed & hydrated. Plan to relax, do some journaling or something crafty tonight & go to bed early. How about you?

dabbe 🩶🖤🩶 47m
Sparklemn Litsy, tea and Trixie Belden mysteries for me. That‘s as deep as I can go tonight. 🫣 (edited) now
Kerrbearlib Sounds like a great day! I'm impressed with all the people staying hydrated. A good reminder for me to drink water! Thank you for sharing! now

#MentalHealthMonday

I‘m not turning on my TV today. I have done a few chores while listening to the tagged book. It is a good reminder about finding joy, the importance of play and being out in nature among other things. We have sunshine today so will take Pippin out for a walk in a bit and then a cup of tea while reading. Chili and cornbread for dinner.

@Kerrbearlib Thank you for this especially today! 💙🩵💙

AmyG Ha…not turning on the TV either. I am now going to sit down and read. 6h
Kerrbearlib @Deblovestoread you‘re welcome! That sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day. And what an excellent pick for an audiobook! I adore Miranda. 5h
Born.A.Reader Thank you for this. Ironic it's MLK day too. I had to work, but I did stay away from the news and TV during the day as well. Planning on picking up a comfort read when I get home. 5h

DeeLew I avoided the TV today. I had a pretty busy day at work and spent my lunch break in a quiet place, reading. It has still been a terrible day. The few bits of things I saw on social media made me sick to my stomach. I may have to finally delete Facebook and Instagram if I want to salvage my mental health. 4h
Julsmarshall Another tv and social avoider today. Spending the day quietly with my pups, working a little, reading a lot. Thank you for sharing your plans, all. Sending your peace. 3h

Welcome to #MentalHealthMonday! What are you doing today to take care of your mental health? So far I've watched Star Trek with friends & spent time with my husband. I'm about to excercise & maybe take a nap. Taking care of our mental health will be vital in the coming weeks, months, & beyond. We still live in an "f your feelings" society & it's likely to get worse. Making mental health a priority is one way to fight back.

Megabooks I did not watch the inauguration and stayed on social media only for fun things like books. No doom scrolling! I also took a nap. 6h
Librarybelle I‘ve read all day, after shoveling snow from the storm my area received yesterday. 6h
Kerrbearlib @Megabooks sounds like a lovely day! No doom scrolling is a great idea! Thank you for sharing! (edited) 5h

Kerrbearlib @Librarybelle we got snow here, too. That‘s great that you read all day after shoveling. Thank you for sharing! 5h
DebinHawaii I‘m at work (at home) today & trying to stay off any media or social media besides Litsy. Also trying to keep hydrated & eat well/healthy. I did not do a good job sleeping last night so I may try for 30 minutes of napping at lunch. Tonight I‘m going to keep staying away from news & social media & try to relax & do something artsy-craftsy & go to bed early because I have an early flight tomorrow. 5h
TheBookHippie I made a post. We are snowed in -probably for the week. No tv socials or news.. nope. 3h
Sace What a much needed hashtag/weekly event. I spent the day on Litsy, listening to One Fell Sweep on audio, redoing a reading journal page, writing some letters, listening to Vince Guaraldi, hanging with hubby and reading. I‘ve got two snow days ahead of me so I‘ll just repeat today‘s activities until the “snow” clears up (it we even get the expected 2”….don‘t laugh. Snow is serious business in AL 🤣) 12m
Kerrbearlib @TheBookHippie very wise with no TV socials or news. Stay safe with the snow! now
Kerrbearlib @DebinHawaii have a good flight tomorrow! I didn't sleep well last night either. Good for you for hydrating and eating healthy, very important for physical and mental health! now
Kerrbearlib @Sace sounds like a great day! That's very cool that you're writing some letters! I've decided I'm going to start having pen-pals again and writing more letters. We got snow here too in Maine, but it was a bit more lol. I stacked One Fell Sweep! now
