Unto to the Least of These (Matt 25:40)

Anxiety doesn't hold still in my body. It rocks back and forth like a boat on troubled water. It's like I feel the cortisol as a tangible force coursing through my veins. That's the context of a decision that changed my life and consequently the lives with many others. From rock bottom, I decided the only thing that would continue to make life worth. It would be as if I could utilize my hard experiences with different mental health challenges to help other people

"The only thing that would make life worth living would be if I could utilize my experience to help others." #faith #family #mentalwellness #activism

I'm sure that the feelings that being in family mode, I'm sure that those feelings make you stronger or help you tackle stuff in your work and vice versa. I think when everything is in good balance, it all feeds into each other. So that's nice. Yeah. Thank you for sharing, and I'm excited to hear more

@r.o #advice #purposeoflife #balance

And so balance is one of those abstract concepts that we chase after with everything we have, only to find it slipping through our fingers like sand. It's not something that we easily conceptualize. It's not something that we easily find. It's something that we have to purposely create day in and day out. I'm also a self proclaimed recovering workaholic, and so when you mentioned that how my family life can enhance my professional life, that was really wise and eye opening to me

I think you're really going to enjoy this up. I'm actually going to invite you to the mental wellness station. That's part of what I do here on Swallow. I invite people and link people together. But when I went out there, I already saw that you had jumped on and had a little conversation with Deb. So I'm really happy to hear that you've just got the ball started. And it sounds like you enjoy speaking and connecting with others
