Mental wellbeing thread?

[SpringTime]

Do we have a thread for general suggestions on mental wellbeing? Been trawling the Forum for a dedicated conversation but the most relevant appear to focus on particular events, mental health days, alcohol, talks etc. All good of course.

If there is such a thread please let me know. Otherwise maybe I will start one - I am not any kind of professional but like suggestions and new ideas. There are many good talks and transcripts online which are free to view, and lots of good books to recommend of course.

I might be dreaming but if arguing could be kept to a minimum (!) and ideas thrown in simmply for people to try and help/explore then there could be some rewarding outcomes.

So if there's already a thread please let me know, otherwise I'll kick off with sharing some light and easy material soon - unless someone else kicks first.

Interesting but what kind of format do you envisage? Perhaps a general pool of links to resources on the web? I would be concerned that there would be a lot of people offering a their (paid for) services.

Here is a link to meditation,talks and videos put together for pandemic care. I was sent it by a friend at beginning of pandemic. I have did some of the meditations which I found useful especially at night. I have not really looked at it all as things have evolved but thought I would share.

Thanks TE44 and Sue, and yes nxjen - a general pool is the idea. If anyone sees it as a place to suggest services then hey-ho.
