โก Mental Health Awareness Month is here + I'm here to talk about energy. Your mental health is very much a part of your holistic wellness + not separate. And it's very much an energy type thing.
๐ When your mental energy is protected, supported, + understood, everything else gets easier. Your relationships feel lighter. Your body feels safer. Your capacity for work, joy, movement, rest just flows better.
โ So this week, I'm breaking down 4 ways to protect + reclaim your mental energy (swipe through):
1๏ธโฃ Boundaries: They're not selfish. It's necessary. Every time you say no to something that drains you, you're protecting your capacity.
2๏ธโฃ Rest: It's maintenance. Mental energy depletes like physical energy. You need downtime to recover. Period.
3๏ธโฃ Asking for help: Carrying everything alone is exhausting. Support such as therapy, trusted people, and coaching as examples, gives you back capacity you didn't know you had.
4๏ธโฃ Knowing your patterns: When do you feel depleted? What triggers you? What helps you recover? This self-knowledge is powerful protection.
๐โโ Which one of these gives you pause? For me, rest time can be difficult to accept.
