Part Three: Mental Health Tips (Mellow Rock, David C. Russell)

Hello Grafted In Readers,


Today is Friday June 13, 2025 in my corner of blog land. No, I'm not given to many of the Friday The Thirteenth advisements that are popular in Western culture. I do like a good mystery read, classic Edgar Alan Poe or Alfred Hitchcock cinema suits me fine.

This post is part three in our series focused on mental health and well-being. I am currently revising a small collection of six short stories with mental health as the overall theme. I will say more of this topic in future posts.

Here is our tip for this post from National Health Service based in the UK:


There are lots of things you could try to help build stronger and closer relationships:

Do

if possible, take time each day to be with your family, for example, try arranging a fixed time to eat dinner together

arrange a day out with friends you have not seen for a while

try switching off the TV to talk or play a game with your children, friends or family

have lunch with a colleague

visit a friend or family member who needs support or company

volunteer at a local school, hospital or community group.


Yes, we are challenged to be naturally social these days or so it seems. Some of us may be more private or outgoing than others. Probably working within our temperment to be inclusive is a way to practice some of the above tips. Your thoughts welcomed!


Until next post, thank you for dropping by. May the Lord bless and keep us!
