How Are You Protecting Your Mental Health? 🛡️🧘♂️
January can be rough—seasonal blues, stress, and the pressure of a new year can weigh heavy. Personally, I felt it. Anxiety crept in, and depression loomed. But I leaned on my mental health tools, and here’s what helped me:
✅ Muted the noise—Turned off news notifications.
✅ Journaling & Connection—Wrote down thoughts and surrounded myself with uplifting people.
✅ Set boundaries—Politics? Nope. Only at designated times.
✅ Creativity reignited—Poured my energy into my new business.
✅ Daily laughter—20 minutes of comedy to start each day! 😂
✅ Took action—Advocated, made calls, and stayed engaged.
Now, I want to hear from YOU!
