Happy Monday friend! 🫶

Today’s post looks a lil’ different and that’s because it’s World Mental Health Day! 

I believe speaking about mental health is one of the most important topics one with a platform can touch on.

Here’s a reminder to take the space you need and to check in with yourself. Don’t shy away from having hard conversations surrounding mental health.

For me, I’ve been expressing to my manager how much work has been a stressor for me lately. I have felt like I’m drowning, have no time for my passions outside of work, and was breaking down almost daily. I listened to myself and got the support I needed to take today off to regroup and re-energize. I’m also being connected with people who can give me tools to reduce workload and stress in my 9-5. 

While this is just a tiny example of doing things to support your mental wellbeing, the message holds true. Check in with yourself. If needed, schedule to meet with a professional (this could be a whole additional convo on access to mental health care in the U.S. ☕️). Find tactics to help you when you feel like you’re drowning. Don’t shy away from having the conversation.

Like I said, this is just a minor example and not even the mental health topic most prevalent in my life. However, with being a weekend warrior travel page, I know a lot of ya’ll have a typical corporate career still. And burnout, anxiety, etc. are issues we face in the workplace that impact our day-to-day outside of work as well. 

These pictures were taken after a particularly stressful day at work that bled through into my personal life. Which can be another reminder that oftentimes social media is fake. You never know what’s going on behind a frozen, moment in time like a picture.

If you’ve made it this far, let me know in the comments what tactics you use to support your mental wellbeing! ⬇️
