Mental Health Monday

Happy Monday Everyone. It's a balmy 73 degrees here, and almost everyone is out doing something. Chicago in the springtime is a beautiful city. Often, I venture out to the lakefront or one of the many parks that are free. What I notice is how green the grass is always. It seems to stay consistent and appears to be lush in many gardens. But I know a secret that I won't share here about some of the fertilization used. What I can say is that appearance isn't everything.  People try to project an image of health, wealth and wellbeing.  Sadly, social media allows us to look at others lawns, homes, cars, clothes, lifestyles, etc and make these judgements. They long for the fame, glitz and glamour that they see. However, they wouldn't want to do the work involved to maintain the facade. So for Mental Health Monday, take a glimpse of what you may need today:

💜 It's going to be okay.

❤ You are strong enough to do this.

🧡 You won't feel this way forever.

💛 It's okay to ask for help.

💚 You are loved.

💙 You are not a burden.

It's good to check in occasionally and express your feelings. I reached out to several people and shared several laughs along the way. Music is my medicine and I spent all weekend streaming DJ sets, music videos and church choir performances.  I've taken a completely different approach to my life in particular and living in general. I'm working smarter to pursue my goals and dreams. I've nurtured so many others that I know it's now my time. My turn to accomplish great things. My turn to impact the world. My turn to do what I love and not just pay bills. Are you feeling the same? Do you want a better life? How have you aligned your priorities? Life is a journey that should be traveled together. Let's support each other as we reach our goals of living the best life. The purple life. Please  share your comments below. Thank you for reading this  article and supporting this blogspace.
