Mental health is so important! I’m a coach for values-based living (and mental health coaching, like helping folks navigate the options out there), and one day I realized, oh, hey, I’m not living my own values! At the time, I had put my clinical mental health counseling degree on pause because of the “plague”. I had intended on just taking a break. But I realized, with the requirement of vax (and a lot of stuff inherent in the field I just wasn’t cool with), that I’d strike out on my own and buck the “thank you sir may I have another” counseling/medical system.
So now I’m growing things, and expanding my ability to grow things, even things that we don’t eat because they’ll help someone else. I want chickens, but the rest of my family doesn’t, so I’m preparing to grow things for chickens so we aren’t buying feed, and preparing to get some anyway come next spring, and if it doesn’t work out, to find a chicken person to grow it for.
I feel a call to help help help, but how I’m supposed to help gets fuzzy. But hey, it’ll be all good. A popular YTer talks about using your waiting room as classroom, and I think that’s what I’m doing. We’ll see.Mental health is so important!
