Reflection helps me to move forward, learn from my mistakes and to see where I need corrections. I use my journal to record my journey. I use it to look back at past experiences. It gives me reminders of what I need to be grateful for and also helps me not repeat mistakes.
The reflection looking at you will not be the same when you look back at it. Maybe you’re fearful, maybe you’re hurt, maybe you’re just over it. Even if you are broken, broken mirrors still work. And you can find the pieces and put them back together. You may not get all the pieces back at once but, if you pay the price it can be fully restored.
Never give up on the desires God placed in your heart. Share it with the 🌎! The journey to launch is long. And there’s one challenge after another but I’m determined. A lot of passion, a lot of praying and a lot of work has been put into creating this journal. But at my University graduation speech my Mother gracefully stated “The race is not given to the swift, but to those that endure.” Keep doing small daily things and those small things add up.

Social media and mental health have a mutual relationship with one another. More and more studies are showing the effects social media has on people who use it daily. Research has shown monitoring the time you spend on social media can significantly decrease both depression and loneliness
I dated my Husband for 8 years before we got married. We waited because we still needed to grow emotionally and mentally.
There will be days that you doubt yourself! Doubt that doubt. There will be days you feel sad! Use your tools 🛠. There will be times you feel unworthy. That’s a Damn lie!!
What are you focusing on ? knowing that our environment and relationships can contribute to our mental health it’s important to be meaningful with what we focus on.
This is me and my Husband. We are happy because we fight 💪🏾 🥊 to be happy. It’s not automatic and to be honest it’s not at all easy. At All. We are both mental health warriors. We are continuously working to be better mentally but with us it all starts with our relationship with God. We are each other’s mirror when we can’t see enough through the fog. Your mental health is a part of you , it will be a part of everything you do and every relationship you have.
