Mind Apples
 

I was at a MH recovery event and one thing they spoke about was Mind Apples, which you might have heard of, but I haven't. We were asked to write what 5 things we do every day or regularly to look after our mind, like you're supposed to have 5 portions of fruit or veg a day. What are your mind apples?

Mine:

1. Leave the house/walk
2. Communicate, at least online
3. Write in diary
4. Spend time with cats
5. Eat something nice

The Mind Apples people actually came to my work and did a series of talks on looking after your mind. I went to them all and it was actually really interesting. It was work based rather than mental health related but the two go hand in hand really.

Mine are:

1. Cuddling the cat
2. Cycling
3. Playing piano
4. Cooking a proper meal
5. Listening to music

1 listening to metal
2 listening to metal
3 gong for a walk
4 reading
5 listening to metal

1 pray
2 use therapy skills
3 eat sensibly
4 spend time with my sister
5 take meds

I love this! Thank you for sharing.
