Mental health and running a business.

How are you feeling today? Like, really feeling?

Lately, I've been feeling anxious. 

May is Mental Health Awareness month, so I figured I'd share some mental health stuff.

While I've always felt like an emotionally in-touch person, I've realized that I actually have a hard time identifying my feelings at times.

Therapy helps. I've been going weekly since last August. I've also been on prescription meds for anxiety/depression for a few months.

The mental health journey can be frustrating, annoying, exhausting... especially knowing it's a journey without a clear destination. It doesn't necessarily get easier, but it does get slightly more comfortable.

Not that I need a reason to be anxious, but here are some anyway:

• the upcoming memorial event for my late brother

• a pending house sale & move and all the things that entails

• reconfiguring out my business goals and the steps to achieve them

• needing to redo my website

I guess the point of my sharing all this in a business blog post is that I don't believe we can separate mental health from work. They affect each other and there's only so much compartmentalizing we can do... I believe my business can work with my life and my needs, but in order to have that, I must include my mental health in the picture as I make decisions in my work.

So anyway, I'm trying to sit with my feelings, give myself grace, and allow for uncertainty in my personal and business worlds.

I'm basically writing this post for myself, but I hope something in here helps you, if you need it.
