Sometimes, you just can't have what you want, but it doesn't mean that you can never have it. Everything takes place at the right time. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Orm8OAn6uxrGrMyxSWC3baM9gNGl3YLWMma40/?igshid=drtq6g8ildj4

As you may know, Post it Forward was created to reinforce something Tumblr users had been doing on their own for years: being open, being kind, and offering support. For many people—particularly young people—it has been a safe haven for openly discussing issues that matter, especially issues pertaining to mental health. From Issue Time question and answer segments with licensed psychiatrists to celebrating Mental Health Month year after year, we’ve been committed to talking about things that matter since 2015.

That’s why we’re so excited to honor World Mental Health Day on Wednesday, October 10.

This year we paid homage to the day by partnering with Made of Millions, a grassroots mental health platform, for Seen: A Mental Health Exhibition. Featuring photography of Rose Cartwright by artist Yumna Al-Arashi, the premiere of their short film Mindstory, and incredible AR-enabled work from some hand-picked Tumblr Creatrs (@creatrs), this exhibit aimed to explore how the digital world can keep people from suffering in silence. You can see some of the pictures of the event above.

It’s important to be seen. And we see you, Tumblr. Stay tuned here to @postitforward. We’re going to reblog some posts that speak to mental health and self care all day long. Want to join in the discussion? Tag your posts with #postitforward so it’s easy for the rest of the community to find you and interact.

And remember, there are resources out there if you need them. It’s okay to use any help you can get.

Ditch the Label (@ditchthelabel) is one of the largest international anti-bullying projects. It offers free support for anyone who signs up for their community. It’s free, it’s easy, and it’s there for you.

It Gets Better (@itgetsbetterproject) gives support for members of the LGBTQ+ community who want it.

It’s Ok To Talk is a safe space to share your experiences with mental health, mental illness and wellbeing.

And of course, Made of Millions is an amazing new 501c3  grassroots mental health non-profit launching on World Mental Health Day.

Take care of yourself, Tumblr. You deserve it.

“With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.”

Being More Mindful:

Go to sleep earlier (Listen to ambient music to fall asleep faster(or things like the Calm app)

Wake up earlier (Put your alarm far away from the bed so you have to get up and turn it off)

Don’t go on your phone first thing in the morning

Tell yourself that it’s going to be a good day

Stretch for 5 minutes

Make your bed

Drink a glass of water (Personally, I like to keep a litre of water in my room so i can have it as soon as I wake up)

Lay clothes out on the bed(Or, go one step further and set the clothes out at night)

Go shower or brush your teeth and wash your face if you shower at night

Put lotion on, put clothes on and apply makeup/do your hair as per normal

Watch a 5-10 minute motivational video (Youtube has Inspirational channels, Ted Talks etc)

Eat breakfast(Smaller bites, appreciate the taste), and drink more water and plan your day

Make your lunch 

Now, if you have extra time you can look at your phone and scroll through social media a bi before you leave the house

Look for beauty around you, in the smiles of people, their fashion, flowers, architecture, interior decorating. Try to take in as much as you can.

Look up from your phone(Delete the apps you don’t need. Be honest about what apps waste your time)

Make it a goal to make someone’s day better, whether it’s by buying a homeless person a meal, or by smiling genuinely at someone. Brighten someone’s day.

If you have extra time, write a journal entry for the day. Write about what you noticed in the world, your goals, your feelings, what excites you etc. Write about your thoughts, let them flow through you.

Carry a book around with you and read it when you find yourself doing nothing.

Notice how much time you spend on your phone or laptop. Try to replace some time that you spend on silly things with educational things. (Read the news rather than scrolling through memes for an hour, read a motivational book rather than toxic tweets)

Learn.Learn.Learn. If you haven’t heard of something, ask what it is. Ask people to teach you how they do whatever it is they do. Don’t settle for no answer. Dig deeper. Learn.

When you learn something, try to see if you can explain it to someone else. If you can’t, try to learn a little more.

Be nicer to people. Ask them how they are, listen to their stories, learn who they are. You’d be surprised at all the interesting, educational stories that people all around you have. 

Go outside every day. Enjoy nature.

Appreciate who you are and where your life is at. Appreciate that not everything happens perfectly or as planned. 

Appreciate that you can learn anything if you put your mind to it,

Spread positive feelings.

Cut off anyone who threatens your positive vibes.
