Mental Health Check
The entertainment industry can be tough on all of us, and a mental health check is a great way to take a moment of awareness for self! We are all busy with our lives and chasing our dreams, but how often do we take a break? It’s important for our mental health to breathe and take time to ourselves so we are not overwhelmed with life’s journey and the obstacles it presents. In a world filled with so many people coming and going you have to wonder, if everyone is ok? Are we all taking the time to give ourselves the care and self-love needed?
Today I wanted to write on this subject because It’s an important topic that we don’t give enough attention to. As a producer, director I often see the stress that can occur from the demands of our industry and wanted to bring light to this topic in this week’s blog because I care. With so many people pulling my energy in different directions daily, I try to find time for myself to focus on me and the things I love to do. Some ways I release tension and stress is by working out, going to bike ride or a quick run. Surrounding myself with the right people is important to our growth, as we all know the saying “you are who you surround yourself with”.
How are you feeling?
I also wanted to mention “EQ” (emotional intelligence) as this is such a major factor in the success of so many entrepreneurs. If you don’t know what EQ is, please research and try to educate yourself as much as you can, because this is healthy in making the best decisions for you and your future. The ability to make decisions based on your logic rather than emotions is key in your growth as a leader or just personal development and building your character. We should be building each other up and seeing our peers living out their dreams healthy and happy.
As we grow and gain more experience, the universe will challenge us more and more and being prepared is the best way for positive results. Our health and mental wellness is key in self-awareness, staying motivated and having the energy to continue checking off those goals. Protecting our energy is overlooked so often and I wanted to take a moment today to bring awareness for all of us as we all need a reminder to slow down. The world moves so fast and so often we don’t see the things in life that really matter and are most important to our health and wellness. I love being a part of this entertainment industry, but I love me more.
