Tending to Your Emotional Garden

Your mind is not meant to carry everything alone. Think of your emotional well-being like

a garden. Without care, weeds take over, flowers wilt, and the soil becomes

hard. But with the right tools, it flourishes. Start with simple

coping strategies. Deep breathing for sixty seconds can reset your nervous system.

Journaling three thoughts before bed clears mental clutter. Moving your body,

even for ten minutes, releases tension you didn't know you were holding. Balance requires

boundaries. Block out personal time like you would any important meeting. Say no without guilt.

Your calendar should reflect your values, not just your obligations. Watch for warning signs.
