#GoodEnough social media challenge 7.-14.4.

You are allowed to make mistakes, fail and be less than perfect. You are #GoodEnough just as you are. You are enough.  Participate in the Students’ Mental Health Day campaign during 7–14 April 2022 by sharing your own image, video or story that demonstrates the imperfectness of your daily life. Tag your content with the hashtag #GoodEnough. Then tag your friends or different organizations and encourage them to do the same. By lowering the bar and abandoning the pursuit of perfection, we can increase compassion for ourselves and for others as well. Facing others and reducing your feelings of pressure is easier if you don’t have to pretend that you live in a perfect world. Together we are good enough at making a change! You are #GoodEnough.
