We have far more impact on our own mental wellness than we’ve been told. Every day, we can make choices to create who we want to become.
Some ways to begin create mental wellness:
- Place boundaries, honor your limits, say “no” to things that cause resentment
- Keep one small promise to yourself every day
- Practice meditation + deep belly breathing
- Use: the future self journal (linked in bio)
- Move your body every day in whatever way feels best for you
- Connect with like minded people/create community
- Address your gut health/mircobiome
- Become aware of unresolved trauma + the behavior/patterns it’s created in your adult life
- Honor the inner child: create, play, do something just for you
- Practice ego work: become aware of your ego + the stories it creates around your life experience that keep you repeating your familiar past
Remember, the brain can change throughout life. New neural pathways can be created with consistent practice. Our genes are not fixed, they’re responding to the environment around us. The body/nervous system can heal.
