A Truth About Anxiety
Things have been hectic. For me busy is good. I need a focus to keep myself in the right place especially with my anxiety. But, In everything else going well, I haven’t been able to post much. This month is Mental Health and Wellness Awareness, so I want to keep steady with the content because a regular schedule is helpful when dealing with mental health.

Workout Routines
It’s so important we have workout routines. A part of wellness is making sure that mentally we can match ourselves physically and emotionally. If we take care of only one or two parts of that trio we still remain off balanced. Exercise strengthens our, muscles, heart and mind- all muscles. With political idiocies making healthcare skyrocketing, it is important that we give ourselves a fighting chance. Stressing about affording healthcare can be less of a struggle if we keep ourselves healthy in the meantime. A workout routine can provide structure, decrease stress, and increase longevity. Working out isn’t always about looking great in a bathing suit. If that’s your goal then,…
