BE Aware of your Mental Health: Instagram Recs on who to Follow for Life + Career!

Written By Barbara Ellen Leicht

🌱 May is Mental Health Awareness Month!!! 🌱

~ and hopefully we are practicing mental health care everyday ~

This practice is very near + dear to my heart 💗 Everyone has mental health!!! It’s so important to de-stigmatize this so we stay healthy, equitable, aware, kind, informed, + sustainable in our contributions. 

🌱 As a Mindset Career Coach who practices a holistic approach, I noticed very early-on in my 10+ career advising career that self-care is integral. For one, how do we expect Job Seekers to leverage best practices like #networking, customizing a #resume, and resilience when applying + #interviewing without basic self-care tools? These include:

• Healthy coping

• Healthy boundaries

• Constructive reframes

• Asking empowering questions

• Balance for sustainable contributions

For two, this carries into your actual work!! Especially when honoring work-life values to ensure we have a high-quality fit. That’s where high-quality work + high-quality of life thrive!!!

🌱 Likewise as someone who navigates invisible disabilities, I found this integral to my own career success!! Evidenced-based practices, such as those outlined in the Work Smart Self Care Guide, allow me to thrive. 💗

~ and you deserve to as well!!! ~
