MENTAL HEALTH TIPS🤍PT2

My mental health isn’t always at it’s best & I battled with her for a very long time since December when my little brother passed away. I lost my spark. I lost myself. I didn’t give myself the chance to heal & be there for ME. I felt empty. & I didn’t feel any fulfillment with anything anymore for a while.

I have slowly been getting my spark back & loving the reflection I see in the mirror. The version of me who enjoys doing simple things, loves the gym, books, the beach, staying in to do her skincare and watch her fave shows/movies, who is full of so much self love & isn’t afraid to stay alone & accomplish all her goals… she has slowly been coming back to me. But I also have seen the new version of me who is still grieving & healing but learning so much and applying. Creating new habits. Creating a space for myself to prioritize my needs. Experiences all her emotions like she never has before. Goes to therapy now. Is softer and accepts the truth that my grief will never go away because it is all the unspoken love I have for my baby brother. I know my anxiety does not control my life nor is it a bad thing all the time either. I’ve come to look at my anxiety as a friend who tries to tell me when something is wrong. And there are days where I don’t always win these battles with my anxiety and that is okay.

Everyone is different when it comes to what helps us with our mental health. These are a few things that have been helping me lately since reconnecting with self again🤍
