Fight the Urge to Quit or Feel Discouraged
Great fortunes come to those who thoughtfully plan ahead. Consider the advantages of strategizing to broaden your network of support.
If you find yourself functioning in a state of performance-based tasks but no longer impressed with the rewards, fight the urge to quit or feel discouraged. Sometimes being busy communicates visibility more than balance and can be counterproductive. Afterall, how effective can you be if your bucket list of goals continues to grow without the support to sustain the progress of what has already been accomplished? Instead focus on your potential by engaging your imagination. Take your mind off the work and change your perspective.
Place your attention on innovation, relationship building, and planning. All 3 require you to have an open and approachable disposition. Creative ideas are what you may need to renew your energy toward a task or project. Remember, as the saying goes, “there is no I in team”. So, start finding ways to reintroduce yourself and don’t start the conversation by reiterating your resume. The more people you relate to the more realistic your goals will become. Great fortunes come to those who thoughtfully plan ahead. Consider the advantages of strategizing to broaden your network of support.
Observe new ways of doing things to make yourself more effective. Adapt and move forward. Learn and grow along the way without fear. Develop your ability to obtain personal growth.

Did you know that Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 1949 to increase the awareness of mental health and wellness in America? Everyday people are finding ways to identify a better strategy to navigate self-care routines that allow them to take back control of their time and their mind and to celebrate recovery from mental illness. Culturally, it’s becoming a topic of regular discussion to explore the social and intimate behaviors of people. In the month of May, take the opportunity to discover more about your personal needs. Identify ways of becoming more balanced. Become aware of your thought process and the ideas (good, bad, or indifferent) that use up most of your imagination. Start by observing your daily routine. But, don’t forget diet is everything.
There are a lot of resources that talk about the gut-brain connection. Maintaining a well balanced diet should be viewed as a top priority for everyone. Even with a tight budget there are healthy alternatives, so be open to cooking more at home and when needed substituting more expensive purchases like meat and poultry for fish, fruits and vegetables. Also, consider buying foods that can be used in multiple recipes and create new ways to repurpose any leftovers from breakfast, lunch and dinner meals to avoid food waste. Food for thought, learning how to make your own bread could also be a great benefit.
When necessary do not hesitate to contact a health professional to evaluate your individual needs as it relates to health (like check-ups and screenings) nutrition (what your putting in your body) and sleep (to make sure your allowing yourself enough time to ‘rest and recover’). Also, stick to a plan that is healthy and balanced. Make your emotional health and your physical health a priority by finding supportive groups and educational resources just in case you need to consult with someone other than family and friends. Be sure to also share and discuss mental health awareness month with those close to you.
