Thanks for those mental health links! I’m sure you find the same thing with your clients, but often times the key to helping someone make healthy food decisions is to help them achieve a healthy mind!

Thank you so much for this helpful collection of resources & your own insights on mental health promotion. I’ll be referring to this post many times as well as sharing it with the dietetic interns who have placements with me.
I especially like the mindapples project. Great name & concept.
How do I pamper my mind? Well, like you I cuddle a furry pet & spend time in the garden. I also love to connect with 3 dear blogging friends: Sophie, Kathryn & Lucy :-).

Such a good reminder Sophie. You’re right, it’s easy to just think about health as being about what you eat and getting regular exercise, but looking after your brain and emotional health are so very important.
I’ve always found spending time with small, furry creatures to be remarkably calming and good for the soul. Watching a happy cat lying in the sun, or having her curl up next to me on the sofa, softly vibrating from a contented purr are wonderfully good for me.
I’m off to take a look at your resources list, most of which I don’t know. Thank you.
