Thankfully, difficult times don't last forever.⠀

What hardships did you endure this past year? What can you learn from those hardships? What knowledge and resilience have you gained from the pain? We hope we all have a better year and find strength from any past pain and hardships. ⠀

We believe in you. We value you.⠀

You are appreciated. You are worthy.⠀

We recognize it is easy for negative thoughts to creep into our minds; however, we also want you to know you do not have to dwell on negative thoughts. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
When a negative thought enters your mind, you can decide to think about the thought or you can decide to dismiss it. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
It isn't easy, but it is a practice we can get better at. Remaining positive, attempting to not dwell on negative thoughts, focusing on solutions, and learning from hardships is what we want you to think about today. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Repeat these affirmations to yourself today or pin the post and refer back to them later.⠀
.⠀

This quote has recently been shared by @joannagaines. Who else loves her and her family’s outlook on life? ⠀
⠀
We too believe “the world needs who you were made to be”. ✨⠀
⠀
So be yourself. You are unique. Everyone else is taken. We each have a purpose in this world; we must seek it and embrace it. We need you and who you were destined to be.⠀
⠀

Get to know our team!! ⬇️⠀
⠀
Today we share our Digital Program and Evaluation Associate, Courtney Young, who is in her final semester of South Dakota State University’s Master of Public Health (MPH) program. She will also be graduating with a nonprofit management certificate. ✨⠀
⠀
Courtney is from Wisconsin where she graduated with a degree in biology. Someday in the near future she wants to continue her education; perhaps for a PhD in Public Mental Health or a Doctorate of Public Health. 🧠⠀
⠀
During her undergraduate studies she wanted to become a psychiatrist, but living with anxiety herself, Courtney decided public health and it’s flexible career path would be better for her future and mental health. Courtney started with Lost&Found as an intern during her MPH studies and has continued with us since. 🎉⠀
⠀
When asked the best thing about Lost&Found, Courtney replied, “the board members’ and staffs’ passion for bettering mental health”, “each member of the team seems to have been impacted by mental illness or suicide in some way which drives the passion”, “the team is an amazing group to be a part of”, and “the team really wants to make a difference and help end youth suicide”.⠀
⠀
Stay tuned for future posts introducing other team members. ⠀
⠀

It is easy to compare ourselves to others, but remember that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
The grass is greener where you water it. ⠀
The grass is greener where you put the effort in to tend to the grass to make it grow. 🌱⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Focus on yourself and ways to better your life.⠀
Some areas to focus on include connection, wellness, meaning or purpose, and healthy thinking. ⠀

No matter your age or where you are in your life, we believe we can all improve on how we think about and talk to ourselves. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
How is your internal monologue or your self-talk? Are you kind to yourself? Do you speak to yourself as you would speak to others?⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Repeating self-affirmations and “I am” statements help us believe in ourselves and help us improve our positive self-talk. They help us become more positive and confident. ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Becoming more positive and confident helps improve our mental health and helps to improve the mental health of those around us. 🌻🌻⠀
.⠀
.⠀
So try it!! Repeat these self-affirmations we post each week. We believe by repeating affirmations each week you will begin to have better, more positive self-talk.⠀
.⠀

Take a #MindfulMinute this morning to set your intentions for today. 🤔💨⠀
⠀
What do you want to accomplish? How do you want to feel at the end of your day? Do you need to complete your to-do list or do you need to take a day to relax? Do you need to finish up tasks from last week or prepare for the week ahead? Do you need to take the time to exercise and move, to read a good book, or to enjoy time with your household? ⠀
⠀
Set your intentions for your day! Get to it! 🙂 ⠀
.⠀

Self-affirmations or "I Am" statements help to guide us through our days.🚴🏽 ⠀
⠀
Repeating self-affirmations at first might feel like a "fake it 'til you make it" concept. When we practice positive self-talk, and repeat positive self-affirmations, we gain confidence in ourselves. We become more positive and confident. ⠀
⠀
Each week we will share self-affirmations to help you become more positive and confident.
