Mindfulness Check-in June 10-12, 2024
June is men’s health awareness month and Men’s Health Week is observed annually during the week leading up to Father’s Day, placing it between June 10th and June 16th in 2024.
Unfortunately men are still less likely to openly discuss mental health issues and seek help than women, due to social norms, reluctance, and belittlement from others. Often they are told to “toughen up” or “be a man”. These stigmas have a significant impact on men and make it hard to reach out for help.
I would like to let every man know that it’s okay to show feelings, it’s okay to cry and wanting someone to comfort you. No matter what gender or gender identity we have, it's okay and healthy to feel your feelings!
What comforting message would you like to send out to men?

When we learn to connect to your own emotional experiences, to identify and process emotions in a healthy way, we create safety and model for others how to do the same. Our healing can help others heal. And it can help us connect emotionally with others in a healthy way, and know when another is connecting emotionally with us in a similarly healthy way. These healthy relationships provide the emotional connection and meaning which is so often missing in our isolated and lonely society.
Keep up the great work of reconnecting to tender and vulnerable emotions. It will pay off and is so appreciated. Wishing you all the best, this and every day. 🌻💐🌼🌱
