Mental Health Monday

Hey y'all! Isn't the picture I found so pretty? That's how I feel right now, the dawn of a new beginning. I've been feeling really good with my mental health lately. I'm pretty proud of how far I've come. I've been learning in therapy how to manage my anxiety and other symptoms with the pandemic and how to accept the reality of here and now. 

I've been happy and productive, working on my projects everyday. I still need to work on self care everyday though. I feel almost like a shadow of the old me. Of course, I can never be her again, but I feel her presence. I feel excited for my plans to come and for the future New Year. At the back of my mind, I still have the fear of the pandemic though. I'm just trying to distract myself from it. 

It's weird, doing better mentally versus living and being in a pandemic. It's a dichotomy living in both spheres. I'm just trying to take each day by day. I hope you're all doing okay and hanging in there. Things have to get better soon. They will. I believe that.
