My son asked, so I had to step up and run this 5k before Mental Health Awareness Month ended, in the midst of moving him into his dorm room. While running this pure adrenaline-boosted 5K around the Charles River in Cambridge, I remembered when I used to ride my bike to work down this same river 23 years ago. When my legs started hurting and my body started cramping, I wanted to stop running. I probably should have stopped running since I didn’t train for this 5K at all. Instead of stopping, I thought about so many of my clients, friends, family members, and strangers with mental health challenges that fight just to get up each morning. I thought about how often people tell them to exercise and they will feel better or “snap out of it” or “choose happy.” Doing almost anything, when you are not mentally able, may feel impossible. So I kept running, because that is what society expects everyone to do, regardless of what they have been through, or are currently going through.

Today, on this last day of mental health awareness month, I encourage you to give yourself a little grace, when you do not mentally feel capable of doing anything more than you are doing right now. After you have given yourself grace, give your loved ones the same level of grace, then take it a step further and give strangers that same level of grace. We are all going through or have been through something that is/has shaken us to our core. If you have not been through it yet, live a little longer. You will appreciate the grace that someone hopefully gives you.

Take care of yourself and each other. 💛🧘🏽‍♀️✨🙏🏾
