GET TO KNOW THE TEAM! 👋

❤️ Hi! I’m Emma, I’m 21, and I’m from Bradford. I moved to Leeds to study Music Industries Management and I’m currently in my second year.

💭 I think it’s important for everybody to look after their mental health, especially in these turbulent times over the last few years.

🌿 I’m learning more about myself and how to manage my conditions every day, and I’ve found that one of the best things for my own mental health, when life gets too busy, is to take some time for myself and get out somewhere beautiful in the countryside to simply take in the scenery and experience the peace and quiet.

🙏 Every mind is different and I hope our event can act as a place for people to explore different ways to look after their own mental health in their own way whether that is through talking about it with somebody, exercise, meditation, mindfulness, or even through yoga.

YOUR YOGI INSTRUCTOR: EMILY ❤️

👋 Emily/Eggs () is a dog obsessed, ADHD vegan who works for a mental health charity and is retraining as a counsellor.

🧘‍♀️ Not your natural yogi, but I've found yoga, breathwork and meditation incredibly beneficial to my own mental health and wanted to share that with others so did my YTT 200 during lockdown.

🙏 I fully believe yoga should be accessible to absolutely everyone and have a special interest in rehab, mobility and trauma informed yoga.

👉🏻 I'll be starting mobility courses and morning classes at Bramley Baths next month.

GET TO KNOW THE TEAM! 👋

✨ Hi I’m Kara and I’m also in second year of studying Music Industries Management.

👉🏻 I have struggled with a few mental health issues throughout my teen years and now into my 20s, however throughout covid lockdowns and starting university, I lost touch with how to handle them.

❤️ Surrounding myself with genuine and supporting people who I can talk to about anything has been the best thing for my mental health as well as getting into a routine of meditating and journaling. I hope that you manage to find our event helpful or otherwise just provide a nice environment and opportunities to chat and try different things.

😻 p.s. another cute cat for your enjoyment!!

🐣 EASTER CAN BE MUCH!

✨ Only a few more days and Easter is just around the corner. For most people, that means spending time with the family and eating delicious food.

❤️ It can be very reflective days with great memories with the family. But sometimes, like Christmas, it can also be very hectic.

➡️ To avoid this, we have given you a few tips on how to go through the Easter days mindfully and recharge your batteries.

1️⃣TIP #1 - Even if you can't wait for that delicious meal and grandma has baked that heavenly cake, eat slowly and above all mindfully. Smell the cake, look at it and chew slowly. Pay attention to your breathing while you eat.

2️⃣TIP #2 - Even though Easter mostly means spending time with family, give yourself a little time for yourself. It's okay to say you want to be alone or not be at the annual Easter egg collection.

3️⃣TIP #3 - Make an effort to get outdoors - if you can, make a trip to a forest or nature reserve, or the beach if you're able to get there. If not, even a stroll around a park is enough to clear your mind and blow away the cobwebs.

4️⃣TIP #4 - We all know some family members are just hard to love or irritate a lot. Although it may be hard at times, accept everyone for who they are and be grateful that they are there. After all, they make Easter as you know it.

We wish you all HAPPY EASTER! ❤️

THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE 🙏

✨ Have you ever heard of gratitude practice? Practicing gratitude means that you find all the things you feel grateful for.

🙏 It can be very small such as being grateful for your morning tea or the chirping of the birds. It doesn't matter how big. Important is that you genuinely feel grateful from within. You need to feel it and not only say it.

😣 Especially when you feel down or a bit disconnected, the gratitude practice can help you find all the good things in your life. It will enhance your mood and all completely for free.

❤️ Have you tried it before? Or do you want to try it out? Why not give yourself one minute and find as much as possible to be grateful for.

GET TO KNOW THE TEAM! 👋

✨ Hi I’m Oscar, I’m the team admin for the nicest Event Ever! I’m a music industries management student and I also play in a punk band called distort!

😣 Over the past year and a half my mental health has been on a rollercoaster of a journey with some amazing highs and horrific lows, after being diagnosed with illogical O.C.D things have started to become a lot clear and I’m starting to manage things better with therapy and antidepressants!

❤️ Music has always made a positive impact on my mental health so whether it’s listening to my favourite artist alone in my room or going out with my loved ones to see a show and immerse myself in the experience for those 3 hours or so I am able to lose myself and my problems and come out feeling less anxious and calm

➡️ If we’re honestly looking at my photos this event is a completely different experience from what I’m used to so I’m a little nervous but I’m looking forward to chatting to like-minded people and trying something new ! ❤️

WHAT'S YOUR ROUTINE? ✨

👉🏻 To disconnect from the outside world and connect with our inner selves, we have listed some ways to do this.

🌍 Especially in our ever faster moving world, where everything is constantly changing, it is important to stop and listen.

❤️ Especially in the morning, a routine of journaling, gratitude practice and meditation can steer your day in a very positive direction. The first hour of the day sets the mood for the whole day.

🤔 What do you do in the morning? Do you immediately reach for your mobile phone? Or your laptop?

GET TO KNOW THE TEAM! 👋

✨ Hi, I'm Florian. I am 25 years old and originally from Germany. I study in the Netherlands but do now my exchange semester in Leeds.

😣 From time to time, my mind takes over and it is hard for me to free myself from it. I think we all know our inner voice in our head.

❤️ I personally like to meditate to encounter my monkey mind and to find calm. Sometimes, instead of meditating I try to be fully present and the situation. Maybe I just listen to the kettle how it boils the water. This helps me to stay in the present moment!

🙏 I would love to see you at the Nicest Event Ever and have a chat. Grab your Ticket now via the link 🎟

P.S isn't it a cute picture with the cat? 🥺
