Wrapping up Mental health awareness month, I would like to discuss some ways we can maintain our mental wellbeing. It is crucial for us to take a proactive approach to taking good care of ourselves.
 
In this blog post, we will discuss three great things we can all do to make this week great. Check out part 1,  part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5,  part 6 , part 7, part 8 and part 9 of the survival guide for more tips and ideas.
 
#1: Be aware of your fears and concerns
Having fears or concerns is absolutely normal. Many of us grew up in societies where we never spoke about our fears. There was an unspoken rule of silence around topics like that. It took me years to learn that it was ok for me to have some fears as long as I do not let them rule my life. These days I have been paying attention to my concerns around he pandemic and the future when all this is over.
 
Questions to consider
  • What are some of your fears or concerns?
  • What situations trigger your fears?
 
#2: Connect with your support community
We all need a group of people who we can confide in and go to when times are tough. Having a tribe and support community has been very important in my life. As I navigate the ups and the downs, I have been blessed to have people who provide me with a safe space. Staying connected to your community is extremely important especially at times like these.
 
Questions to consider
  • Who are the people who you can confide in?
  • How often do you share your deep thoughts with you support community?
 
#3: Know that you are not alone in any situation
When we go through difficult situations or face challenges, it is easy to think that you are the only one who is experiencing it. Hearing other people's stories can be a way to get encouraged and gain more perspective on your situation. When you share your challenges, you open lines of communication with others around you.
 
Questions to consider
  • Do you feel alone with your concerns?
  • How can you learn from other people's experiences?
 
Final Thoughts
Let's end this post with one lesson that I learned this past week:
It is important to take some time off and relax. Because I have been working from home for almost three months, I have not taken any time off to rest and do nothing. Fortunately, we had a public holiday and additional day off. I did something I needed to do - got a lot of rest.
