Mental Health

Avoiding difficult situations, tough conversations, and defending your comfort in the name of mental health will make you weak. Someone who is mentally healthy has solid boundaries, a firmly planted identity and actively exercises the emotional muscles needed in life.  

Taking a “Mental Health” day is fine as long as you aren’t avoiding something hard.

Leveraging the excuse of “Mental Health” to avoid discomfort is cowardly at best. A mentally healthy person doesn’t perpetuate fragility.

Next time the hill gets steep and slippery, don’t misunderstand it for a threat to your mental health. It’s an opportunity to put your grippy boots on, grab your walking stick and climb the damn hill.
