I will be the first to admit that my mental health has been on a roller coaster the last few months. Some days are good, and some days are not. Given all that is going on right now, I feel that my roller coaster ride is appropriate and do not need to give any explanation or excuse for it. However, I am trying to do things to keep my mental health in as good a state as is possible. In order to become the person that I know that I can be and that I want to be, having good mental health is a key element to that. Not saying that I cannot and will not have bad days. Everyone does. And anyone who says they do not are probably hiding the truth. I won't say it's lying because that just sounds negative, and everyone deals with life differently. That is what makes us all unique.
Lots of things that I post about are all helping to keep my mental health intact. My daily challenges, for example. I read my daily devotion each morning and it is an excellent way to look at my career path and know that I am on the right track with that. I have also cut back on my time on the internet. Many of my profiles have been either deleted or made unavailable by myself. I was spending way too much time in this world of fantasy. That is ok because I needed that during covid. However, it is time to get back into life and not spending hours being someone I am truly not is quite a relief. I also work hard to keep my Facebook page as positive as can be. I do not live with my head in the sand, and I am well aware of the atrocities occurring in our nation right now. I have made my Facebook page a place where people can go and know that they can escape all of the horrors for at least a few moments. People may think me a Pollyanna for that and so be it.
Finding ways to ease the strain and stress of daily life is key to my happy existence. I am happy to take any suggestions you have to incorporate into this process for me. Now that the weather is getting nicer, being outdoors is one thing I look forward to. I do not get outside much but it's time that I start. Anyway, I truly am feeling better each day. I know that I have days that are very rough for me, and I hate that sometimes social media is my only outlet for letting go of that. I try not to, but it does sneak in from time to time. Such as life. If it helps me to deal with things and move on, so be it. I am looking forward to a more consistent, better outlook on life. And, as we all well know, that is not an easy thing to accomplish these days. But I can do it.
That is all.
