Mental Health

Though I don’t suddenly feel like I’ve been cured from my imposter syndrome, it sure helps to feel supported. I know that a little bit of external validation often helps me feel a little less like a failure.

It's okay if all you did today was breathe - Mondays can be extremely challenging for many people and can even trigger anxiety with many of us. We are taught we’re supposed to be well rested after the weekend and released from all the stress in our lives to start a new week with renewed energy and fully charged batteries.

I cannot emphasize the importance of self-care moments enough. When I allowed myself this self-care day, all of a sudden moments of awakening came up. My mind just felt so empty for a bit, while it’s always so full of everything.

If you’re thinking this isn’t common at all, let me tell you I haven’t been to one doctor, specialist (except then a psychiatrist) who offered me anything else besides birth control as a solution to my symptoms.

When it comes to the quest of finding my value and reconnecting with my own self, loving myself and treating myself well, it sure comes with a new awareness of negative energy all around. It’s with people you know, on the news, in magazines, on social media, it’s literally ALL AROUND 🤯
