In order to feel good, taking care of your physical health is not enough; mental health is equally as—if not more—important. That’s why it’s crucial to take time to tend to yourself or say an encouraging word or two every once in a while.
Such positive ‘Notes For Self’ can be found on an Instagram page titled exactly that. Boasting more than 4.7 million followers, it shares amusing mental health memes, as well as positive messages, hearing which could likely benefit any of us. Scroll down to find some of them on the list below and take a moment for self-appreciation and a mental health check-in.
Below you will also find some thoughts shared with Bored Panda by the founder of the Instagram page, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions.

When we were dating, we had lots to talk about. The first time I met his mom she couldn't fathom what I saw in him cause he never talks. For this and MANY other reasons we don't have a lot to do with her now. My family has fully adopted him as one of their own and it warms my heart.

This describes me exactly, and it's funny as my friends and I had a conversation about this earlier
“I started this account when I began studying psychology. I wanted to share the advice I had learned from great psychologists with other people,” the founder of the Instagram page ‘Note For Self’ told Bored Panda in a recent interview.
In their opinion, people can benefit from it due to the fact that Instagram is brimming with entertainment and fakeness, but with the help of this account, they can provide entertainment with a message, which is an important combination to have on social media.
“People always have trouble in their life, and they always will. So when they open their phone and scroll through the page, it can provide some relief or a quick perspective change, or show that they’re not alone, as there are other people agreeing with the quote,” the founder pointed out.
They told Bored Panda that providing support of such sorts is what they love most about handling the account. “I enjoy getting messages from people that say that I’ve helped them overcome something or that it’s something positive for their mental health. Over the years I’ve received countless direct messages like these.”

Weeeeellll. Dunno. An enormous number of people, all genders, will give "mixed signals" AT BEST - during early acquaintances. And not by accident - they don't KNOW what they think of you yet. Mixed signals CAN shift - up, or down. Watch the shift. 4th -5th meeting, and still "mixed?" Yah, move on.
Pittsburgh rare 1 year ago
There's a whole world of difference between being cautious and sending mixed signals. A steady, constant attitude, not overly enthusiastic nor rude is expected during early stages. I stay away from people who leaves me confused with their behaviour because it'll only get worse.

It goes without saying that taking care of your mental health is a crucial part of looking after yourself; now arguably more than ever. According to Our World In Data, hundreds of millions of people nowadays suffer from detrimental conditions stemming from poor mental health, such as depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, just to name a few.
Though, many individuals seemingly understand the importance of taking care of their mental well-being, as according to a global survey from 2020, the vast majority believe that mental health is either as important or more important than physical health (with 46% of respondents believing each of the two statements).

Data from 2023 shows that even more people now consider mental health to be as important as physical; according to the Ipsos World Mental Health Day survey, roughly 78% respondents across 31 countries believe so. Yet unfortunately, only 34% say that mental and physical health are treated equally by the healthcare systems in their countries.

Silent treatments are an abusive tactic that some people use to get their way. My parents did this and the only way to get them to talk to me was to beg. Despite learning they are abusive, and cutting them out, I still may panic if someone who usually responds, doesn't respond. Honestly, I think it's probably more respectful for a person to just say "I need to recharge." Silence isn't communication, and expecting others to "just know" is selfish, imo. Especially with the whole ghosting behaviors.

I had a decal on my car - I hope something nice happens to you today. I live in a condo complex and some neighbor peeled it off - even left it on the ground. Apparently, everyone should just be miserable. Maybe I'll put the "Always fight for those without your privilege" and goes on the inside of the window. Your move a$$hat.
The Ipsos survey has also found that one of the main factors that negatively influences our mental health is the seemingly ever-present stress. A third of respondents admitted it has affected their lives multiple times throughout the previous year and more than one-in-four admitted feeling so stressed on multiple occasions that it was difficult to cope with it; 39% shared that they have even taken time off work due to stress.

I am kind to strangers because they are never there to ask for a 2nd favor . . .
People focusing on the fact that both mental and physical health are important is not the only connection there is between the two. Center For Disease Control And Prevention emphasized that one can directly influence the other; for example, such mental health conditions as depression can increase the risk of such conditions like diabetes and heart disease, while similarly, chronic conditions can lead to deteriorating mental health.

....and please never say "why can't you just smile or be happy? -it works for me" to a depressed person. I know you say it in the best of meaning, but if you have never been there yourself, you basically do not know what it takes to fight your way back. It is about as effective as telling people to cheer up a funeral of one of their loved ones. Depression often means that you are being exhausted all the time, like if you have been up from 6 AM and now it is 3AM, and you know that you still have miles to go before you reach a bed. It makes it hard to stop being grumpy and be happy under that conditions. All you achieve with that kind of comment is that you expose your lack of knowledge, as if that person hasn't already asked him/herself that question a 1000 times, and concluded that it does not work that way.

This is a great sentiment, but I think it's important to add this to it: If you haven't been able to pull yourself out of that dark place, it doesn't make you weak. If you need help getting out of there, it doesn't make you weak. It takes courage to seek help, but it doesn't make you a coward if you haven't asked for help yet. Wanting to end your life doesn't make you weak. Just getting through the day is enough. You don't need to achieve any goals, you don't need to have any kind of epiphany; you can just get through the day and be proud of yourself for that, and others can be proud of you for that as well.

Treating others - complete strangers too - well and kindly also hits differently. It's amazing how much of how we are treated is mirroring - reactions to who/how you are
The significance of mental health in regards to our overall well-being should be a great motivating force to focus on it every day. In a recent TEDx Talk, a licensed therapist and a co-host of the Take Two podcast, Lindsay Fleming, pointed out that investing in her mental health daily resulted in not only her feeling better internally, but achieving more externally as well.
One of the main points she suggested focusing on while tending to your mental health is self-awareness. “Building self-awareness daily helps us avoid [certain situations], and when unavoidable, manage emotional distress,” she pointed out.

It really depends on the situation, which is what makes this so tricky. If you e.g. always puts yourself first while dating, it can be really hard to find a partner, as a good relationship is a matter of giving and taking. If you think that the entire worlds should revolve around you and your needs, you will only end up making things hard for yourself in the long run, as that attitude is very tiresome for everyone around you, who will basically end up putting in all the work, while getting very little personal gain from it. Sometimes you need to master the art of compromising.

"Not my circus-Not my monkeys". Favorite phrase at work. Sometimes something failing clears way for better
Fleming continued her talk by discussing the method she calls Take Two, aimed at helping people take care of their well-being with daily two-minute mental health check-ins.
The therapist explained that the Take Two approach consists of four main elements: time, awareness, knowledge, and engagement, with the first one being rather straightforward—dedicating two minutes of your time anytime during the day.
The second one, awareness, is based on what it is that you’re doing during those two minutes and asking yourself such questions like “How am I feeling?” or “What do my thoughts sound like?”. The third aspect suggests asking yourself if there’s anything that you need and coming up with a plan in case you do, and the fourth one—engaging in said plan.

Absolutely but they seem to be few and far between at this moment in my life.
While daily mental health check-ins are likely to be more effective, reading a motivational quote—such as the ones shared on ‘Note For Self’—or giving yourself a pep talk every once in a while is unlikely to do any harm, either.
PsychCentral emphasized that words do have power in regards to both positive and negative experiences, which is why it’s important to choose your words carefully when talking to others. That’s also why it’s nice to be on the receiving end of something nice, whether told eye-to-eye or through an inspirational Instagram post.

however it is important to remember that no message does not nessesarily equal a messeage of "I don't want or care about you". There could be a lot of different reasons for that, from the basic "my phone ran out of power" (I personally am rather sloppy when it comes to charging my phone, so it happens a lot), to the "now is not the right time". E.g. I am in a meeting, or doing some sort of other actvity where I left my phone (sport), to the "my life has basically crashed and I lost control of everything, so I need to downprioritise socializing right now". Not getting an immediate response to every messes age may not be due to a fault of your, and you shouldn't necessarily jump straight to the conclusion that you are not being important to that person so he/she is gosting you.
