MIND YOUR MANNERISMS: SIGNS YOUR BODY & MIND NEED REST - AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
Are you feeling agitated? Lethargic? Trouble falling/staying asleep? Is your fuse shorter than a false lash?
If you were reading that saying "YES, THAT IS ME ALL DAYYY!", don't worry, we are here to help you.
Our bodies are always giving us signs of when it needs more support; if we stay focused on everything around us, we sometimes miss those ques.
You hear a lot of people say, "our thoughts have power," and that statement has a lot of truth to it. The things we think about the most tend to take up most of our energy and often cause us to hyper fixate on problems rather than solutions.
Our mental health plays a HUGE role in our overall physical health.
You might be thinking, "well, it is all pretty overwhelming, and I am not sure where I need the most help." Guess what, did you know we live in a time where a helpful ear is only an app away!? Yes, you heard us right.
Some say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but we beg to differ. A good therapist will do more for you than 24 karats ever could.

If you are looking for someone local to where you are, get in touch with your healthcare provider and have them recommend someone close by where you live.
While you are supporting your mind, don't forget to help your body by staying hydrated, eating well, and finding a way to keep active.
And most importantly, don't overdo it. It can be challenging, especially for those who are activists, to create boundaries when we feel like our help is needed. But remember, you cannot help others if you are not willing to help yourself first.
Stay blessed and move towards your dreams xx
