2020 has shown us that now more than

0:07

ever

0:08

we all need to look after our mental

0:09

health and wellbeing

0:11

today is world mental health day and

0:13

we're being asked to make a promise

0:15

a promise to look after our own mental

0:18

health and well-being so we can better

0:19

support others

0:20

for some people this might be a new

0:22

journey they are

0:24

new to the world of mental illness and

0:26

we want you to know where they're with

0:28

you

0:28

whether it's for that first conversation

0:30

that first appointment

Look After Your Mental Health

0:32

we're on the journey together in looking

0:34

after our well-being and our mental

0:35

health it's important that we make

0:37

promises to ourselves

0:39

to look after it and think about the

Make Promises

0:41

priorities and changes we need to make

0:44

that might be looking at our diet it

0:46

might be looking at lifestyle it might

0:48

be looking at the way we're working

0:49

might be taking up meditation but there

0:52

are all things that we can do

0:54

to make ourselves that little bit

0:55

stronger and better able to support one

0:57

another

0:58

my promise for world mental health day

1:00

is to prioritize sleep

1:02

sleep sits at the cornerstone of good

1:04

well-being

1:05

and so it's my priority to make sure i

1:08

get the sleep i need

1:09

what will your promise be
