Over the past few weeks, we have been sharing and re-sharing some blog posts about new years resolutions and the myth of Blue Monday. The consensus of these posts have been that the first month of the year can be rough. Obviously, mental ill health isn’t dictated by what month it is, but the pressures […]
Good morning everyone and happy Monday! Just popping up to remind you that Mind Waves has a free podcast available to listen to now on Spotify. We’ve been taking a wee break from recording episodes, but there’s plenty of gems in our back catalogue that you might not have come across before. Firstly, I’d like […]
January 2024 has brought darkness, cold temperatures and three named storms! With Storm Henk, Storm Isha and Storm Jocelyn all terrorising Scotland in January, you’d be forgiven for giving up and hunkering down in your house for the rest of the season. This week on the blog we’re talking about ‘hibernation for humans’, and […]
We’re revisiting some of our old blog posts this January. With the cold, dreary weather, the pressure of new year’s resolutions, and the myth of Blue Monday, January is tough . Be kind to yourself – and have a read. This post was originally uploaded January 13th 2023. We’re almost halfway through January now, and I’m […]
This week, we’re continuing a sort of Mind Waves ‘tradition’ of posting about Blue Monday. But instead of writing something new, we’re re-sharing a post from our Project Manager @rosiehopes first published in 2021. Even though three years have passed, and it’s been eight years since Rosie first wrote about the myth of Blue Monday, her words […]
Hello! This week we’re sharing some videos from our Christmas open mic event at the Dream Machine. At our most recent open mic, we donned our Santa hats and tucked into mince pies and hot chocolates before enjoying a festive sing along. Here’s a snippet of Ally and Vivian treating us to a piano rendition […]
As the end of the year approaches, we thought that we’d share some of Mind Waves’ highlights from 2023. 1. At the beginning of the year, we designed a student mental health campaign for Think Positive. The campaign was called #HelpingStudentsThrive. We made an animation for them that you can watch here. We also facilitated […]
We’ve all been there. Sometimes, you wake up and you just know it’s going to be a bad day. Or maybe things started off okay, and then due to bad news, low energy levels, or maybe just a classic bad mood, the day turns sour. It’s really easy to let a bad day catch hold […]
This week on the blog we’re resharing a post written by Hilda from COPE Scotland. She discusses ways to remain positive during the winter months, because winter can be a difficult time for everybody, and especially those with mental ill health. We think her words are more relevant now than ever! There is no two […]
We’ve had an influx of new subscribers and viewers over our online channels recently and that coupled with some changes here at Mind Waves means we’re well overdue an update of the services we offer here at the charity! We run workshops, do digital consultancy work for other organisations, help make workplaces more accessible… you […]
