It’s a rainy ☔ Saturday here in my city, so this is the time I like to create and right down my thoughts!
Writing not only stimulates your brain activity but it also acts as a great de-stressor. Keep a journal so you can record your thoughts if you are feeling down. Invest in a well-made journal to increase your creative juices….
Here are a couple of journal prompts to help you get started:
🖊 What risks do you want to take? What’s holding you back?
🖊 What are some of the strongest emotions you’ve ever felt? Write about how those emotions affected you and what caused you to feel those emotions.
🖊 What secrets are you keeping? Are these secrets affecting your life or mental health? Why or why not?
🖊 Write about your one of your happiest memories?
🖊 In the next year, what are 5 improvements you would like to make regarding your life?
One of the best ways to gain clarity about your life is by journaling your thoughts and feelings.
Keeping a journal can be a great way to manage your mental health.
Welcome, My name is Olivia Shepherd, and I am the founder of this awesome blog about depression and mental illness. I started this blog in 2016 after being diagnosed with Major Depression, Anxiety and PTSD. I didn't have anybody to talk too or share my feelings with, so I decided to share them publicly to help others.
I'm passionate and dedicated to bringing awareness about mental health, especially in the African American community.
I also want to empower your voice to speak up and fight the stigma surrounding this illness.
I’m also the founder of AshesToBeauty Mentoring & Outreach, a virtual online service dedicated to to the positive development and accelerated recovery of girls and women who have experienced abuse and depression, Ashes To Beauty strives to empower women to take their lives back by providing life skill education, one-on-one mentorship and impactful personal tools by which these impacted women can build the foundation for a successful future.
Look forward to having you read my blog,
