This is MIND Your Health Part III, although this doesn't exactly fall into place with the first two parts, I want to talk to you about my current situation.
I'm not okay.
But I will be!
I will not apologize for having emotions.
To say the last few months have been rough is an understatement. Self-care isn't being selfish it's making sure you're at your best so you can show up for yourself and others. So, here are some things I have been doing to help me feel better, even if it's a little bit, because all of this does affect my overall mental well being.
Trying my hand at calligraphy
This is so much harder than I thought it would be! Calligraphy takes a steady hand, time, and patience - 3 things I am working on!
Sleeping
My sleep schedule is all over the place and I am okay with that. I am lately sleeping earlier and waking up earlier, but there were days that I would sleep at 4am and wake up super late the next day, and yes, I do have those days (like today) where I want to spend the entire day in bed & that's okay.
Reaching Out
Most importantly I've been reaching out to those I really need.
My fiance, new friends, family, and other people who are a part of my support system.

Taking care of my skin
Is my skin at its best? No, it's not, but I cannot change the things that are beyond my control!
Being cautious of what I eat
I am not entirely happy with the way I look, but by watching what I eat, and working out I am making the effort to see the change I want.
Creating New Content
We all go through mind-blocks and creative ruts, but lately I've been pushing myself to pick up my camera and really create consistently.

Writing
As you know, writing is very therapeutic for many including myself. Whether it's a blog post such as this one, it's also a way to just dump all my thoughts onto paper and feel lighter afterwards.

Crying
Also, crying. I am a crier, and I know there's a big ugly cry coming that will definitely help me feel better.
