A Journey of Kindness- Mental Health Awareness Month Post

Breathe, Be, Pause, and Hold Still

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

So often this month, people focus solely on the pain, sorrow, and hardships, and while that is so very much part of the mental health journey, it is still a journey that can be a blessing. Learning to honor ourselves, to shape who we want to be on that journey, and to take the first steps toward our better selves is just as valid. And it is just as deserving of attention.

In our world, we are too often focused on the bad, shame ourselves, and hold onto sorrow, but that keeps us in that profound misery. Learning to accept our flaws, to dance in our joy, and to chase our wellness is the life raft in those waters. And we all deserve to appreciate and love ourselves fully.

This is not to diminish the incredible people who are struggling, but to offer another perspective. YOU are deserving of feeling joy. YOU are deserving of feeling well. YOU are special.

Because of those truths, you deserve to be kind enough to yourself to embrace the beauty within you, to live a life where you smile at your greatness, and you deserve to get to the point of your wellness journey where you walk into the peace and hope you deserve and always have.
