It seems that April is the month for new beginnings and social movements... the coming of warm weather and the spring season also brings about new resolutions and health practices.
This month is Stress Awareness Month... yesterday was World Physical Activity Day... and today is World Health Day (with this year focusing specifically on depression)!
My Twitter feed has practically exploded with people opening up about their mental state / sense of personal wellbeing. It is incredibly encouraging to see so many people involved and invested in their health! As many organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) state, talking is the first step towards healing!
But it can also be very overwhelming to face your health (or lack thereof) directly... especially when dealing with the addition of a mental illness.
That's why I am going to alter my plan of action for dealing with my depression... to reduce my stress level and set myself up for success!
Check back tomorrow for updates!
