The MINDS Foundation

Ever noticed how certain colours make you feel a certain way? That's what colour psychology is all about! 🎨 From influencing our moods to shaping our behaviours, colours play a profound role in our daily lives, from the calming blue of the sky to the vibrant hues of a blooming flower. 🌻 While researchers continue to explore the depths of this fascinating field, one thing is clear: colours do affect us, knowingly or unknowingly. Today, as we celebrate the festival of colours, let's cherish the diversity of emotions just like we enjoy the mix of all colours during Holi. After all, it's the combination of our varied emotions that makes us human. May your Holi be filled with joy, laughter, and the most beautiful hues imaginable. Happy Holi! 🌈 #Holi #Festival #Colours #EmotionalHealth

In a world where women juggle multiple roles to fulfil societal expectations, the pressure to constantly perform leaves little room for rest and relaxation. Growing up, many of us witnessed our mothers and grandmothers tirelessly taking care of everyone else, often neglecting their own needs in the process. It's as if guilt is hardwired into our DNA whenever we pause to unwind. But this Women’s Day, let's challenge the notion that self-care is selfish and celebrate the importance of unwinding and prioritising our well-being. 🌱 Start by acknowledging that you deserve a break, just like anyone else. Whether it's reading a book, going for a walk, or simply enjoying a cup of tea in peace, find activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Take a step back, breathe, and give yourself permission to unwind. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable while taking time for yourself, know that you're not alone. So, this #WomensDay, let's support each other and reclaim our right to relaxation!🫰 Unwind today and share a photo of how you did it on your Instagram story. Tag us, and let's celebrate the beauty of self-care together. You deserve it. Happy Women's Day! 🤍 #InternationalWomensDay #MentalHealthMatters #SupportWomen #SelfCare

This #RepublicDay, let’s craft a constitution for ourselves too—a commitment to our mental health and happiness. Let’s pledge to uphold these principles, creating a resilient foundation for a healthier, happier, and more peaceful state of mind. 🇮🇳 #MINDSFoundation

How often have you wished someone a restful day or a peaceful evening? It's not as common, but why not? This #NewYear, let's change that. We all have those days where we feel off, stressed, or just not ourselves. So for 2024, let's make it normal to include mental well-being in our everyday wishes and conversations. At MINDS, we're starting with these: May today energise you and bring you joy. May you prioritise yourself this year. May you find the courage to set and respect healthy boundaries. Here's to a year where saying 'Hope you have a mentally happy day' is as usual as 'Have a great day!' 😊 #HappyNewYear
