Mental health is our emotional, psychological, + social well-being (as well as our past experiences + heredity) all have an impact on how we think, feel, + act. These factors combine + affect the quality of our mental health, which influences how we deal with stress, interact with others, + make decisions.

Generally, if our mental health sucks, so can our outlook, which can make us feel like our whole lives suck, too.

Luckily, if we are tactful, patient, and honest with ourselves + others - with time, intentionality, dedication, consistency, (+ a lil support) you can improve your mental health, thus improving your quality of life.

Give yourself adequate time to process the process.

When life gets a little too: 'go, go, go!' I have to schedule in processing time to sit + think about my day so I don't get bogged down with experience. I find the more I just push + power through any experiences or feelings (big or small), the less comfortable I feel in my body. My brain feels stressed + it takes a while to decompress at night, but when I am intentional with my processing time, I find myself far less stressed in general.

When you fall the slightest bit behind, do you feel overwhelmed by all the shit you're not doing? If so, you're probably like me + instead of doing the thing you're freaking out about not doing, you spend all that time freaking out about the freak out, instead.

I've begun to embrace my "it's on the list, it'll get done" energy by intentionally utilizing the list but never overthinking the list.

The list should be a way to let go until you're ready to pick it back up. The key is to remember why you started the list, which was to reduce stress. Use the list to ease all the things you've not done, but not be an additional stressor to remind you of all the things you've not done.

Summer break is coming to an end for me so I wanted so share one of my favorite tips again. This one is from day 267:

Change your language to improve your mindset. 

YOU are not fat. You have fat. YOU are not depressed. You have depression. YOU are not insecure. You feel insecure. 

You are far more than the identities you have created for yourself. And you need to change your language to reflect that. 

Shift your mindset through shifting your language.

we are always searching for evidence to confirm the way we think/feel/believe. insecurities become self-fulfilling if we don't take the time + conscious effort required to improve your mental health in the long run. reassure yourself + deny unhelpful/untruthful thoughts that pop up to convince your

thoughts become beliefs, beliefs become what you search for, and what you search for becomes your reality.

what if they care? what if I am worthy of love? what if it all works out?

change the negative thought patterns into more productive ones, so you can improve your outlook + coinciding reality as a result.

From day 269, Glimmers are incredibly welcomed shifts from the standard, anxious thoughts that often overtake our day. That said, like anything else, there's power in nuance + balance, so don't get too caught up in toxic positivity, but it may help to think about when you do get distracted - throughout the day - even if it’s good thoughts or positive distractions, it can easily interrupt our flow.

Taking a brief summer break and releasing the fan faves. Today I am featuring the most commented on episode from day 44 - Why demonize the coping mechanisms that potentially saved your life? Thank them, and move on graciously. Demonizing yourself or your behavior doesn't rectify it. Reflect, grow and move on.
