Mental Health & Being Called Self Absorbed
Today I decided to reflect on the ways I've handled my mental health without help from big pharma. I'd also like to address a comment made on my Tik Tok live the other day.
Celebrate the small wins. Making your bed in the morning, washing your face, brushing your teeth. You did something that is beneficial to you. These things are worth celebrating.
Do healthy activities that boost your serotonin as often as possible. I take dance classes at least 3-5 times a week. A class is 2 hours and I always leave feeling good (for the most part). I recently got a bike and love riding the trails around ATL. It brings me so much joy to do active things that cost little to nothing.
Finally, fuel your body with good stuff. I've been a crappy vegan the past few years, but when I do eat clean, green, and drink a lot of good liquids like water or tea that is when my skin glows, I feel light, and helps my self-image.
The other day I was on TikTok live and someone in the comments says, "you seem like the type that would be self-absorbed." I responded with, "not self-absorbed, but self-invested." There is nothing wrong with investing time, money, and energy into yourself. When you do you're able to give that energy back to others.
That's all for now!
