These days, there’s a lot of pressure to be as productive and successful as possible – and to ensure that you are going after major goals, pursuing your dreams, and “seizing the day” in as many different ways as possible.
One consequence of this “hustle culture” ethos of always maximizing productivity is that it can be pretty easy to end up burning out, and to come to view everyday comforts and luxuries as somehow gratuitous, irresponsible, and overly self-indulgent.
A lot of people avoid are talking about mental health. The reasons could vary; some think of it as a stigma while others don’t believe in it. Regardless of what they think or say, mental health is as important as your physical wellbeing.
Imagine feeling low and sad all the time; how does that feel? What if you hear someone talking when really there’s nobody around? It sounds scary, eh? Think about having flashbacks of a traumatic event over and over? That’s the summary of your mental health.
