Do a good deed without telling anyone
It is remarkable what you can achieve in this life if you do not care who gets the recognition. Taking leave of the ego rather than elevating it is a lifelong task of humility and humbleness. Practice not seeking recognition for what you do for others. Determine to do regular good deeds in secret, keeping the satisfaction for yourself. By working effortlessly without demanding rewards, you show that you are on the path of personal growth.
We all have to nurture and protect our mental health. Just as with physical health, where everyone is advised to take their daily vitamins, many small things add up to make a big difference in mental health.
This winter, Geðhjálp, the Icelandic Mental Health Alliance, therefore, offers doses of “vitamin G”: small, straightforward tips intended to improve mental health.
A calendar with “vitamin G” will be for sale, and lucky calendar owners will win amazing mental health improving prizes.
All proceeds of the calendar will go to Styrktarsjóður geðheilbrigðis, a mental health sponsorship fund which is meant to promote progress in mental health, by offering grants to projects which can improve the mental health of Icelanders and a greater understanding of the field.
The goal is to strengthen the mental health of Icelanders while preventing setbacks and protecting us in adversity. With daily intake of this “vitamin G”, we develop stronger immunity because these simple tips are protective elements for mental health.
The calendar is available in selected Krónan stores nationwide
Each day of the calendar contains one dose and daily advice can be found on gvitamin.is, Facebook, and Instagram.
Vitamin G is based on the Ten Commandments of Mental Health and the 14 Words of Life by Héðinn Unnsteinsson and Þórdís Rúnarsdóttir. See further details at landlaeknir.is and hedinn.org/lifsordin14
