Its hard to put your mental health first.
Taking care of yourself isnt going to come easy.
This world is so obsessed with the idea of success and productivity.

Bosses might even make you feel like youre letting the company down.
Even when you know youre going to burn out without it.
In these moments, you shouldnt be embarrassed about needing a mental health day.
You should be thrilled that youre finally putting yourself first.
Its hard to ignore the emails and texts that need to be answered.
Its hard to sit still when your mind is racing.
But taking a break and resting can be productive, too.
Unfortunately, not everyone cares about mental health as much as they pretend.
Of course, not everyone feels this way.
And those are the people who matter the most.
Those are the people who are really in your corner.
If youve been struggling to take care of your mental health, know that this isnt your fault.
Its hard to put your needs first when the world is demanding so much from you.
Its hard to put your needs first when you feel guilty about any selfish choice.
Its hard to put your needs first when pleasing others is easier.
You should be proud of what youve accomplished, even if you havent reached your next goalpost yet.
