How I manage my mental health & well-being
I used to beat myself up regularly about the mistakes that I have made, it made me feel depressed and trapped. I have always been a deep thinker so there have been many times I've let my mind run away from itself, thoughts would become less positive as a result of my overthinking and would turn to negative ones instead.
As soon as I started to forgive myself and started to realise that my past doesn't necessarily define who I am I was able to move forward with a much clearer head.
Your mistakes are lessons and as long as you learn from them then its okay.
I realised this is not healthy and I needed to retrain my brain to think positively and almost disregard the negative thoughts.
I still prepare myself for the worst but ultimately always have a can do attitude.
My children ground me the most. If I ever feel lost I remember my purpose, my purpose to be the absolute best version of myself so that my children can benefit the most.
How I unwind
Music, good food, fresh air, exercise, good company and light mediation help me destress. Depending on the stress I will do 1 or more of the following things;
- Go for a walk whilst listening to music
- Have a shower
- Eat some good healthy food
- Call or meet up with a friend that understands me
- Exercise
