today is world mental health day 🤍
i thought it might be meaningful to share five questions to reflect on when someone tells you they’re struggling. a little pause to consider what they need, what we bring to the conversation and how we can show up for them.
when someone tells us they’re struggling, it’s natural to want to make things better. sometimes we’re so focused on finding the right response that we miss what they’re actually asking of us.
taking a moment to notice our assumptions, our discomfort and our capacity can help us be more present in those conversations.
you don’t need a perfect answer. being willing to listen, ask rather than assume, and be honest about what you can offer matters <3
