Hey, Tumblr.
Today is May 1. The first day of Mental Health Month. This entire month we want to nudge all of you to celebrate triumphs, acknowledge struggles, and just come together. Let other people know theyâre not alone. Feel less alone yourself. Itâs what Post it Forward is all about.
One of the incredible ways youâall of youâhave helped shape Tumblr is with your ability to be open and honest. Â It was you that turned this platform into a community, one based on genuine expression, creativity, and acceptance.
Neat. How can I participate?
Glad you asked! Each week, for all four weeks, weâll be giving you ideas for ways to Post it Forward.
Week 1âPost it for you: How you practice self-care and personal well-being.
Week 2âPost it for each other: Ways you can be there for each other.
Week 3âPost it for reflection: Sharing stories of personal growth and development.
Week 4âPost it for the future: Committing to continuous reflection and improvement.
This week is all about posting for you. Acts of self-care. Here are some places to start:
Post an emoji spell for self-care and positivity. đ đź đ đ±
Share a photo or GIF of something that calms you down. Donât have one? Hereâs one.
Whatâs the one thing that always cheers you up? Post a photo of it, take a GIF, or illustrate it. Toss a sticker on it, if youâd like.
Never forget that you are valid! Post a selfie with âvalidâ sticker (see below).
Make a list of things you like about yourself.
Make a checklist of 5 acts of self-care you promise to do for yourself this week.
Make an audio post with a song that helps you zone out and re-energize.
Donât forget to tag all your posts with #postitforward this month! It makes it easier for everyone to find each otherâs contributions.
What else?
Weâve asked our pal Tumblrbot (@tumblrbot) to help out with any extra encouragement you might need. Try sending them messages like âtell me about Mental Health Monthâ or âwhatâs this weekâs prompt?â Tumblrbot will let you know whatâs up, because Tumblrbot is a friend to all of us.
