Health is wealth – take care of yourselves

It’s been a long week. And it’s only Tuesday. 

The second part of my Calgary adventure will be up soon, promise! It’s been a hard week – work hasn’t been great and I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with life. This is a pretty personal post, so if you’re looking for one of my adventures, maybe check out some of my past few posts! I’ll be back to posting like my old self in a few days, promise.

I usually don’t open up about my mental health much, but hey letting it all out feels good. This past year, I’ve suffered from what I guess you could call desperation. Things feel very bleak sometimes, and although I know things will be better in the future, it’s hard to see past the here and now. 

The worst thing about it all is that the littlest things set it off. I’ll be having a great day – hell, a great month – and then something small happens and all of a sudden my head and chest feel full of fog that just won’t clear.

That’s why it’s been so important to me lately to do things I love (like traveling and adventuring, or being in the mountains. Nothing beats mountain air) because the good things in life lift the fog and help me see clearer. Planning out my trips is a mood-lifter, so be prepared for a couple of planning posts!

Keeping everything bottled up is toxic. Remember to take care of yourself and your mental health. Do the things you love, do what you gotta do to take care of yourself. 

Since writing this post, I’m feeling a lot better. Just getting this stuff out of your head is wonderful. Here, have some pictures of the mountains, it always makes me feel a lot better. 

Health is wealth people, if you need me let me know. ❤️
