We took another trip to the #AndBreath exhibition at @MAGlearning a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised to see the new artwork in the exhibition - it was just as lovely as it was back in September and gave us a real bit of head space in a hectic day! #Sharingourwellness

Nurturing relationships with pets and children takes on a special significance when it comes to mental wellbeing as they are totally ‘in the moment’ and by spending time with them they allow you to be totally in the moment too which can be really hard to do! #SharingOurWellness

Anxiety can mean that we're too worried to speak to anyone about things, in case they’re judging us. At the same time, depression tells us there’s no point in speaking to anyone. blurtitout.org/2018/10/25/anx…

We missed today’s #SharingOurWellness chat but Mental Health Mate’s are all about peer support while getting moving! If you’re looking to head out for a walk with people who understand then check out @findyourwe or in @ECBCManchester #findyourwe #youarenotalone

Shaking a bad mood off can be really challenging but there are songs from every genre that help from Shake it Out by @flo_tweet to Shake it Off by @taylorswift13 - sometime a good jump around to a tune really helps! What would be your tune if choice? #SharingOurWellness

We’re so excited to be launching #SharingOurWellness Twitter Chats as part of our city-wide Sharing Wellness campaign. Join us tomorrow at 1pm to discuss the ways in which music supports your wellbeing!

@Shobushower @BlurtAlerts Where can we get shower bombs in Manchester or online?

Loving these calendars from @actionhappiness helping us focus our minds on one positive action a day rather than being overwhelmed trying to do everything at once and beating ourselves up when that’s not realistic! One step at a time! #OptimisticOctober

Had my photo taken by the wonderful Lisa today for the @openshuttersproject - photographs of people with an object that helped them with their mental health, and their story alongside it. It’s a beautiful exhibition, if you can get to @galleryoldham I suggest you have a look! 🖤

We think we're broken or fundamentally flawed when we don't enjoy the things that other people seem to enjoy. We're not broken because we enjoy different things or have different needs. 📷 @chuckdrawsthings ift.tt/2MeQqWi
