Many farmers and producers live where they work and can therefore have a blurred distinction between work and home life and may feel like they should always be working. suicideinfo.ca/local_resourc…

The things we put our time and energy into can affect our mental wellbeing. Things that may DRAIN our energy: 🚫 Overthinking & constant rumination 🚫 Skimping on sleep 🚫 Overextending ourselves 🚫 Neglecting our physical health 🚫 Spending prolonged hours in stressful environments 🚫 Neglecting self-care and "me" time 🚫 Too much screen time 🚫 People pleasing Things that can BOOST our energy: ✅ Diving into hobbies & passions ✅ Prioritizing quality sleep ✅ Setting clear boundaries ✅ Regular exercise or movement ✅ Connecting with loved ones & positive communities ✅ Mindfulness practices (meditation, deep breathing) ✅ Seeking inspiration through books, music, or nature ✅ Engaging in acts of kindness or service ✅ Eating a balanced and nutritious meal What are ways you recharge your battery? Thank you to our partner @CanolaGrowers for championing the mental wellbeing of those in agriculture.

On this World Mental Health Day, we’re sending love and strength to all the farmers and those in agriculture who are fighting battles that aren’t always visible. Mental illness doesn’t always show on the outside, but we know it can feel heavy on the inside. You are not alone, and your mental health matters. At Do More Ag, our mission is to support the farming community by creating space for conversations, offering resources, and working together to build a culture of support and change. Let’s continue to stand by each other, break the stigma, and ensure no one in agriculture has to face these challenges alone. Together, we can create lasting change. #WorldMentalHealthDay
