So, I've been ruminating on everything and working out what steps to take next. Whilst these thoughts started as how to get the shop out there in front of more people, how to get followers on social media etc, it has turned into something that could potentially be quite wonderful.
The true purpose of Birdy & Bright is to encourage positive thought, and looking at things from a more positive perspective (even if that just means accepting something is a bit rubbish and allowing yourself to feel that). Mental health is a big factor in all of this and what I've realised is I have a platform here that I can use as a space for conversation around mental health, because it's always good to talk.
Mental health is a wide overarching term including everything you feel from one day to the next, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Sometimes it feels like you're the only one feeling like you do and just realising that someone else understands is a big help.
Therefore, you'll be seeing social media posts that have a focus on starting a conversation, and it's something I'd love you all to get involved with. Sometimes it's the people that aren't talking that are sitting on something, and seeing a conversation is helpful before they are ready to talk themselves. Well, that's what I've found anyway. Truth is there is no definite way with this sort of thing.
I'm thinking of other ways I can be helpful. I'm thinking about starting a forum, or a group. I currently have Instagram and TikTok but I'm thinking if it's worth getting into Facebook with a page and a group for the conversation. If you have any thoughts on this or other ideas then give me a shout.
Thanks!
