Well, there you go.
You don't have to necessarily be an optimist -as part of your health habits.
As long as you're staying away from being a pessimist.

Awesome news from the Australian Counselling Association
The movement towards greater recognition of counsellors in the Australian mental health industry is gaining momentum. Much because of the ACA's relentless advocacy.
Here's to the new Federal Government having open ears, too.Success!
Earlier this year, ACA provided a submission to the Queensland Mental Health Select Committee in Brisbane, on opportunities to improve mental health outcomes for Queenslanders. ACA later appeared before the Committee and provided supplementary information and evidence.
As the only advocate for the profession in attendance, we put forward a strong voice on behalf of all Registered Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
We advocated for:
1. Registered Counsellors be placed in Queensland public schools to work with children.
2. Registered Counsellors be employed within hospitals and other similar government funded services.
3. The Queensland Government recommend to the Federal Government that Registered Counsellors be included within the Medicare Benefits Schedule to offer rebateable services.
Today, the Committee released its final report, and we are delighted to share the report echoes our advocacy. The final report recommends:
Recommendation 46 – Support scholarships to pursue mental health qualifications
The committee recommends the Queensland Government funds scholarships for nurses, midwives, medical officers and allied health professionals, such as occupational therapists and counsellors, to pursue mental health and alcohol and other drugs qualifications.
Recommendation 49 – Leverage the counselling workforce
The committee recommends the Queensland Government, in partnership with the Hospital and Health services, investigates how to leverage the counselling workforce in community‐based primary healthcare settings, hospitals, private and state‐funded schools, and in crisis support spaces where not already employed.
Recommendation 50 – Expand Medicare Benefit Scheme rebates
The committee recommends the Queensland Government collaborates with the Australian Government to ensure Medicare rebates are available to customers for all mental health and alcohol and other drugs practitioner services.
We endeavour to see this success continue as we work with our other States and Territories. For more information and to read the report, please check ACA's latest email.

Emotional grounding means weathering the storm by Marc de Bruin - Holistic Bliss Magazine

In last month’s HBM article I shared how life events can cause us to feel miserable, to a point that we can no longer cope well. I also shared theSo true! Thank you!
Excellent!
I came across this brilliant Illustrated guide "Doing What Matters in Times of Stress", published by the World Health Organization.
It encompasses many powerful tools from Steven Hayes' (et al.) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which is my favourite go-to for work with clients. I love it because of its profound simplicity (no, that's not a contradiction in terms) and real-life approach. "Mr. ACT Australia" Russ Harris produced the content for this guide.
Please do yourself a favour and use the guide for yourself, or when working with clients. You'll be happy you did.
--------------------------
"The guide aims to equip people with practical skills to help cope with stress. A few minutes each day are enough to practice the self-help techniques. The guide can be used alone or with the accompanying audio exercises.
Informed by evidence and extensive field testing, the guide is for anyone who experiences stress, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances."
