May Story Idea Prompts
Cinco de Mayo is in May and is often celebrated in the U.S. As a health coach, you could offer ideas on how to celebrate without overindulging or how to tweak Cinco de Mayo recipes (like chips and queso) to make them healthier.
May is Mental Health month, which means many media outlets will want stories on mental health matters like anxiety and depression.
If you’ve dealt with mental health problems yourself, you could pitch a story on how you’ve coped with it (i.e., yoga, meditation, medication, etc). Or, you could write a guest post on mental strategies you use that have helped boost your business.
May is also Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month. Media outlets will be looking for stories on skin protection and how to practice sun safety.
Do you have any ideas for how to stay safe in the sun? Are there any new guidelines from the Skin Cancer Foundation that people need to know about?
Memorial Day is at the end of May for our US Clients. How about a story on how to unplug from technology so you can enjoy the long weekend?
Or what about a story on how to keep from overindulging at summer barbecues?
