You may have seen this saying or something similar before ➡️ “asking for help is not a weakness rather it is a sign of strength”. But why is it true? Why is asking for help a sign of strength? ⠀

We at Lost&Found believe that everyone can be resilient and find lessons even in the hardest of times. But we also believe that sometimes during these hardships we need to lean on each other. ⠀
It’s easy to struggle through a hardship. It’s easy to feel down and sad. ⠀

It is usually more difficult to acknowledge you’re in a hardship and realize that you could benefit from connecting with other human beings or from leaning on a friend. ⠀

We do know, that when you do this more difficult task of acknowledging you’re in a hardship, and reach out for help, that you build up your resiliency skills. ⠀
When you build up your resiliency skills, you’re become more resilient and are able to navigate hardships a bit easier and become stronger. ⠀
Therefore, asking for help helps you become stronger and is a sign of strength.

Feeling anxious? Don’t know what’s next? That is okay. It is okay to not know what’s next. ⠀
Take a deep breath. Focus on one moment at a time. Keep putting your best foot forward. Things will fall into place. Have patience, young grasshopper. 🍃🦗⠀

Challenge your inner critic for this #MindfulMinute today, Tuesday. 💖
...
Your inner critic is the voice or monologue inside your brain that is telling you “I can’t do this... this is too hard”.
...
We want you to challenge your inner critic by changing “I can’t do this” to “I sure can do this” or “I will keep moving forward and keep trying my best”.
...

Sometimes we need to trust our instincts and go with our gut feeling. It’ll all work out in the end. And if it doesn’t work out, it’s not the end. 🤍

Unfortunately, suicide is a public health crisis. And that’s why we exist... to help eliminate suicide. ⠀
⠀
1️⃣Suicide prevention can include primary prevention or building up skills and providing education to avoid or limit crises. ⠀
⠀
2️⃣Suicide prevention can include crisis intervention or helplines and support that exists for those experiencing suicidal ideation.⠀
⠀
3️⃣Suicide prevention can include postventions or help to those affected by suicide loss or a suicide attempt. ⠀
⠀
Suicide prevention whether primary prevention, secondary/crisis intervention, or tertiary/postventions can help to eliminate suicide. ⠀
⠀
Suicide prevention may seem like a dark or scary topic, but when we think about it simply as ways to take care of our own and each others well-being... through connection, wellness, healthy thinking, and meaning... it doesn’t seem too scary after all. ⠀
⠀
So how can we help? Learn more about suicide prevention by following us here or checking out our website. ⠀
⠀
You can also help to educate yourself by reading about mental health and suicide prevention or attending webinars/trainings offered in your community. ⠀
