Showing kindness to someone who may be struggling with mental illness can mean so much.\u00a0 It is equally important to be kind to yourself.\u00a0 Negative self-talk can affect your mental health.\u00a0 The Bell Let’s Talk “Kindness Box” is a fun and easy way to give yourself<\/a> or someone<\/a> you care about a boost of positive energy.*<\/p>\n

\"Kindness<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

How does it work?\u00a0 It’s easy!<\/p>\n

Print the Kindness Box Kit.\u00a0 Create personalized messages.\u00a0 Once you have written your messages, then you can try your hand at creating a Masu box.\u00a0 It can take a few tries but you will get it!<\/p>\n

Don’t want to waste the paper?\u00a0 Why not put your personalized messages in an envelope and leave it for your intended recipient?\u00a0 Or maybe send your messages in an email?\u00a0 It doesn’t matter how you share your kind words, the important thing is that you do!<\/p>\n

If you have created messages for yourself — you can post a few next to your computer, place some on your nightstand, and even hide a couple in your coat pocket!<\/p>\n

Here are some examples of the messages you can create:<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n
