What is a TEN TEN MOMENT? @1010moment

Do you ever find yourself in a search for that perfect 10/10 burger or 10/10 movie?🍔💯🎬

We live in a world where things are often judged, for better or for worse.

Do you spend your life pursuing perfection?

We grow up going to school striving for high scores. Then we search for the perfect job, partner, wedding, family, & home.💯🏃🏻‍♀️💨

However, in this pursuit, we may miss small moments that make life meaningful.

How can we focus on the small things happening at THIS moment, that bring us joy & meaning? How we can be mindful & grateful for the little things?🤔💭☺️

Can we take a step back & learn to recognize all the small joys that occur in our daily lives?

When you’re cozy indoors while it rains outside☔️

When your dog greets you with kisses🐶

When the light turns green right when you reach the intersection🚦

When your coffee is at the perfect sipping temperature☕️

These may seem small but these are #1010moments.

"Big" #1010moments are wonderful too - birthdays, weddings, getting into your dream school🏫, watching your child take their first steps👶🏻, a successful surgery🩺, etc.

However these don’t occur often enough, and there is much to be celebrated for the ‘in-between’ moments.

Can having an attitude of #gratitude & being present in the moment improve our #MentalHealth?

What other strategies can keep our minds well, just like eating veggies & exercising for better physical health?🥦💪🏻👟

We often talk about preventative health care like cancer screening & lifestyle changes, but what about for our #MentalHealth?💬🧠

@1010moment is not about hopeful positivity & motivational quotes. It is an ongoing conversation & cannot be fully explained in a few tweets.☁️💭

I want to share with you from a family doctor’s perspective, but also from personal experience with loss, pain, & growth.🙏🏻

@1010moment is not a replacement for #MentalHealth treatment, but will share resources & break down barriers/stigma to getting help, including how to start this conversation with a trusted medical professional when needed.👩🏻‍⚕️🩺💊

Let's spark discussion about the underlying causes of stress, anxiety, & depression in society & what systemic changes are needed to address this crisis.

It will be a journey & I too will be learning along the way. Will you join me?🙏🏻😊
