Just because you cannot always physically ‘see’ your fears, anxieties, feelings and emotions doesn’t mean they are not present and having an impact on your daily life, wouldn’t it be great to look after our minds in the same way we maintain our bodies, they are equally important for a healthy wellbeing.
Clients often say to me they cannot afford a counselling session yet when I ask if they can afford their monthly gym fee or a night out on the town the answer is almost always yes and whilst I would never tell somebody how to spend their money, take a second to think and see why it makes sense to invest in your overall wellbeing and not just one part of it. Taking care of your mental health/ wellbeing doesn’t have to be a long-term commitment draining you of all your hard earned cash, by making that comparably small investment in yourself today it can pay dividends many times over in the future because you will have the resources to cope with anything that comes your way. Now that truly is an investment in your self.
