Practice mindfulness with the Bell Let’s Talk mandala.

This year, Bell Let’s Talk has designed a mandala that you can print out and colour in. Many mental health professionals recommend colouring as an effective way to practice mindfulness.

Mandala, meaning “sacred circle” in Sanskrit, is a circular art form often containing geometric and repeating designs. Similar to meditation, it focuses your attention on the present moment and away from worries and stress. Share your creation on social media using #BellLetsTalk

Chatter Box

How to start a conversation.

  1. Pick a circled number and open in alternative directions that amount of times.

2. Pick a blue number and open alternately that amount of times.

3. Pick your final number, open flap and start your conversation

Let’s Talk Kindness Box

A Kindness Box is a fun and easy way to give yourself or someone you care about a boost of positive energy. Fill out the messages on the right with personalized statements, save the document and send it by email to someone you care about so they can make their own Bell Let’s Talk Kindness Box. If they don’t have a printer, they can still save the document and view their messages whenever they need a pick-me-up.

Self-Care Activity

Practicing self-care means taking the time to participate in activities that bring you enjoyment or a sense of calm and peacefulness. Activities can include things you do on a day-to-day basis or new activities. Self-care can promote positive mental health and well-being, keep us grounded and reduce the effects of stress in our lives.

This month, challenge yourself to complete as many self-care activities as you can. For each activity completed, fill in the talk bubble in that square.
