Mental health is a challenge because it often changes without our noticing. One day, it seems like everyone is irritating us, nothing is working out the way we wanted, we’re under pressure from work or family, and there’s not enough hours in the day to get everything done 😫⁠
⁠
Even one of those days is exhausting. When we have two, three, four days like it, one after the other? When we’re on our second week of it? ⁠
⁠
This is when we need to stop and take stock of ourselves. ⁠
⁠
What do we need? 🌳 🛌 ️‍🏋️‍️️ ⁠
What does our body need? 💧🥪 ⁠
Can we ask for help? 👋🙏⁠
⁠
It is far too easy to get caught in a spiral of working to exhaustion, being disappointed in the outcome, and still being unwilling to take the time needed to recover. ⁠
⁠
Give yourself a break. 💖 You’ve earned it.

According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, individuals who engage in regular self-reflection show lower levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, and better immune system functioning ✨⁠
⁠
This suggests that taking time to reflect on one's thoughts and feelings can not only lead to personal growth and understanding, but also have positive impacts on physical health 💪⁠

We all know those naturally creative people 👩‍🎨 The ones who sketch, paint, or play an instrument. Often we can feel that creativity just “isn’t our thing” because our interests don’t fall into the traditional idea of Art 😒 ⁠
⁠
But creativity ✨ is just a form of expression and we all have the ability to express ourselves.
⁠
So, pick something that gives you directions, or already has the lines drawn. Just because you’re following a pattern or a recipe, doesn’t mean you’re not creating. 💡Find an activity you enjoy and let your personal creativity loose. It's all about trusting yourself and playing around! No room for judgment. 🙅‍♀️
