Join me - 20 Hours of Silence for Youth Mental Health
I’m taking on the 20 Hours for 20Talk Challenge on June 27th, and I need your help!
I'm about to get out of my comfort zone this year and spend 20 hours sitting in a 2X2 meters square, by myself, whilst I disconnect from the world and re-connect with myself at a different level. No technology, no kids, no partner, no friends, no entertainment. Just myself and my own thoughts... Believe it or not, I can't wait.I'll take on this challenge by myself, but I also need your help. As my friend, I want to share why I'm doing it (honest true) and how you can help me & others by supporting me.
I've been feeling like I need more time to reconnect with myself, my thoughts, my 'spark' and my goals lately but having a moment of silence in my daily routine seems like impossible nowadays. Being a full time working mum of 2 wonderful and little kids (aged 1 and 4), a partner, a sibling, a daughter and a friend, leaves me with no time for myself... until now. I need to reconnect with my 'own' space and get it back into my daily routine so I plan to use some of these 20 hours to find a way to do it (and also, have my best date ever).
I also realize how blessed I am for the opportunity to identify what I need and action on this, but I know that not everyone gets this. Mental Health is still something we don't talk much about, and I plan to actively change this. So, for those who don't know how to work with their 'mental health' and/or ask for help to find a way, I'll also show up and do my best to raise awareness and fundings to support 20Talk in their mission to deliver mental health trainings/resources to the youth! Can you join me?
How can you help me? Easy! Donate whatever you can to help me fund their activities and motivate me for this challenge! $5, $10,$100, whatever you can. Every dollar makes the difference. But before you do it...
Don't think about myself alone. Take a minute to think if you or someone you love ever experienced anxiety, depression, loneliness, panic attacks, etc. If you did - First, a reminder that I'm always here to talk about it. I'm not afraid and I'll support you! Second, you get the struggles, so please do something to help others (donate today) and also consider joining this challenge, this is my invite!
Long story short - I'm committed to achieve as much as I can for this cause and get ready for my 'long waited' date with myself. I'll be sharing more about my journey with you too, so come along and let's bring more magic into this world together.
Love,
Vero
