I want to take a minute to talk to you all about mental health. It's important. These are scary times, & if you're like me, you let way to many bad thoughts creep into your brain sometimes, especially when you're stressed.
Maybe it's thinking the worst every time your boss calls a meeting. Is this the day I'm told they're letting me go?
Maybe it's stressing about your kids, what kind of world they're inheriting, will they have enough of what they need, & if they don't, will you be able to help them?
Maybe it's worrying about your family's health, and how they'll come through this. Whatever it is, what I want you to know is, it's okay.
Some people can't help but worry, & telling them not to is as useful as telling someone not to feel any emotion. So listen, it's okay to worry, & know that you're not worrying alone.
I won't lie to you & say I know things will be okay. Maybe they will, but they might not. But what I can tell you is, even if they're not okay, for the first time in my life, we're all facing it together, and it's okay to worry.
Just remember that at some point, you have to let go of that worry. You can't hold on to it all the time. It's impossible, & trying will kill you, so find your release somehow, whether it's a walk, your pets, a call to a friend, whatever. Find it & remember to do it.
Let go of that worry & stress for just a few minutes, every day. I promise, it'll still be there when you get back. Don't be ashamed of it, don't try to hide it, just embrace it, & then let it go when you can, because we will get through this.
It may be really tough, & it may not feel like it, & you may worry, but we will get through it, & when we do, the party we're going to throw as a collective race is going to be epic, & you don't want to miss that.
I'll see you there.
