Here are just a few of the comments:

Embodied practices like mindful movement (yoga), dance, any exercise that feels good in the body also is key to build awareness, resilience and process emotional content

 “The less we talk about it, the worst we feel about it” so lets talk about it (mental health)

Art puts you in the moment and in the “flow”

I hope all of the youth on this Zoom know that many , many adults have struggled their whole lives with anxiety and depression. This is helping us too! thank you so much everyone for sharing your vulnerability and brilliance. so many gifts from all this today.

Daniela — you make me think about the kinds of activities I do in my life that can support or inhibit good health and well-being. Thank you! I’ve never thought of photography in that way.

Thank you all for contributing and creating this safe, creative and resourceful space in the community.

Creativity gives us access to who we are…Even if you can’t draw or not a musician, doodling to music is fun

Painting, acting, dancing, singing are all in the present moment. You can practice being in the present moment thru mindfulness too’

 It’s such a powerful message that “everyone has some form of anxiety” that is so true and it’s important for individuals to know this. great job!

The world continues to change at an accelerated rate and there is so much uncertainty that fuels anxiety.

I would like to add cultivating a sense of gratitude, and purpose as an inner motivator, creating meaning and a strong connection with being alive, seen, heard, validated. Everybody can find the gifts to develop and offer.

Reconnecting to nature through wilderness backpacking helped me foster that sense of inner meaning and a strong connection with being alive and seen

If you don't know what to say, just say that—and tell your friend that you are there for them. https://www.verywellmind.com/what-to-say-when-someone-is-depressed-1067474
