One of the most important lessons I've learned is that happiness and health always come first. No matter how challenging life gets or how much work I have to do, my happiness and wellbeing are more important than anything else. This lesson has been especially important during the pandemic when it's been easy to get overwhelmed by all of the stress and negativity in the world. Taking time for myself – whether it's going for a walk, reading a book, or simply taking a few deep breaths – has been crucial for maintaining my mental health. And I know that if I'm happy and healthy, I'll be able to handle whatever life throws my way.
