CE Mind Share a Smile

We are a group of 6th form students from across Eden #cumbria. Our aim is to show how small acts of kindness can make a positive impact on mental health.

We want to promote using social media in a positive way & believe spending time with friends, family and studying is really important. That’s why we can’t monitor our acc all the time, but we will try to tweet & retweet when we can. Thanks for your support #shareasmile #cumbria

How do you look after you?
Self care can be super simple things like taking a walk, reading a book or listening to your favourite playlist.
Anything that helps YOU unwind and relax, there no right or wrong it’s just what works for you!

5 ways to wellbeing - Learning!
We know it’s the summer & school is over. But learning doesn’t have to be academic, you can learn a new skill, watch a TED talk on Youtube or just pick up a book, read it for fun & lose yourself in the moment. #WednesdayWisdom #cumbria

The weather isn’t brilliant at the moment, a great way to relax & unwind indoors is to read. Research shows reading is great for many things including reducing stress & anxiety.
Get down to your local book store or library & grab a good book today

Next in the 5 ways to wellbeing is
GIVE
Giving is worth its weight in Gold when it comes to helping our mental health. Random acts of kindness like walking someone’s dog or making a coffee all count as a little kindness shared. Remember giving is golden!

Take Notice
Slow down. This is about being in the moment. Remember, the past has been and we can’t control what happened we can influence our future, right now there is now!
Also take notice of others around you, how are your mates & family feeling. #fivewaystowellbeing #cumbria

After a hard few days at school, one of our share a smile team members received a bunch of flowers from their friend as a little pick me up! What a lovely way to #shareasmile with someone. How will you share a smile today? #itscooltobekind #cumbria @share_ce

Megan from the SAS team held a kindness session to some @ullswatercc yr 7 students, they discussed why kindness is important, made example RAK’s & watched videos on the meaning of kindness. The group than got arty making posters about what kindness meant to them. #bekind #cumbria

Self-care is super important!
Make sure your making time for you!
Try to do something you enjoy everyday, relax, unwind, have that piece of cake or bubble bath and recharge those batteries.
