Maintaining good mental health is HUGE for me. I’m really big on self-care and self-love and both of these things are essential for my own mental health. I’ve struggled on occasion in the past - with overwhelm, anxiety, feeling low … and one thing that always helped me to come through was reframing my challenges … to deliberately BE positive in my thoughts, even when I didn’t FEEL it in my heart. Positive thoughts always created a shift within me and helped me to heal.
I was SO PROUD to see my teen start to post loads of positive affirmations on her WhatsApp status. She’s been going through a tough time of it lately in the run up to exams. Amazing to see that she has quietly seen what I do and started to do it herself without my suggesting it to her. Who cares what the exams hold for her (although I know she will do FAB) I feeling so happy that she aced a life exam with this bit of self-care! Go girl!
