Here are Happy Brain’s tips for how to deal with low self-esteem, to get you on your way to being confident and happy with yourself.
Mental Health Awareness Week has been happening once a year for the last thirteen years, organised by the Mental Health Foundation. Each year an important theme relating to Mental Health is chosen and that theme is campaigned to raise awareness about it. This year’s Mental Health Awareness week runs from 13-19 May, and the theme is physical activity and wellbeing. What are you doing to raise awareness?

Blog Post - How To: Avoid Negative Thinking
I don’t know about you, but I seem to be prone to occasional bouts of negative thinking. A single bad day, event or thought can turn into something worse, as negative thoughts often escalate and you are left feeling even more ‘ugh’. But do not fear, with these tips and thoughts you can be on your way to blue sky thinking in no time. ☺
Negative Thinking Symptoms:
Thinking too far ahead, assuming failure or that you know how things are going to work out (when you don’t)
Ignoring positive aspects of things (they’re there, I promise!)
Falling into further negative thinking about pretty much everything even if you were originally just stressed/worried/upset about one thing
Can lead to depression, loss of interest in things, lack of motivation and tearfulness (super sad stuff that nobody wants to get into, really)
By learning to understand your negative thinking, you can learn avoid it completely, or at least try to stop it when you notice yourself doing it. Here are your (hopefully inspiring) tips on Negative Thinking and how it can be combated.

29 Ways to Stay Creative
There are a certain few films and TV programmes I repeatedly watch on my 'Bad Days'. I call them 'feel good', but that doesn't mean they're all super cheery and happy. Sometimes when you're in a bad mood you just want to watch something interesting, funny, or thought-provoking, just to chill out and forget about the world for a while.
1. If funny is your thing, The US office (2005-present) series is brilliant with its charmingly awkward mockumentary style, documenting the goings-on at a paper distributing company in Scranton, Pensylvania. There's drama, conflict, a deluded boss, and not to mention workplace romances. The hilariously inelegant mockumentary style of the show will have you feeling so embarrassed for the characters you'll just want to yell out to them to stop what they're doing. And don't miss out on watching the Bloopers if you buy the box set...they'll have you in tears of laughter.
