Today I heard someone say......”people who focus on “wellbeing” are selfish, it’s just a fad” Hmm actually wellbeing is so important and hopefully one day they will learn the importance of it and what it can do for them. It’s not just a fad or a trend it’s a way of life, something we should all find time to focus on especially during stressful and tough times in our lives. It’s not selfish at all to spend time on you. To take time to find out what makes you feel healthy physically and mentally and what makes you happy. Wellbeing is important and bigger than what some people think. For some it’s yoga, gym, healthy eating. For others it’s spirituality or religion. And for people like me it’s a hobby like art or sport, something your passionate about that brings you happiness, health and comfort. We all have tough times in our lives for whatever reason and wellbeing may not be the cure. But it is most definitely an important part of the healing process. So ignore the negativity and remember you are allowed to take time for you, you are equally as important as everyone else around you and deserve time to do the things that make you happy. After a tough time struggling with depression a few years back and then my outbreak of guttate psoriasis I didn’t think I could cope. But then I found art again, and it helped get me through. Now I share my art with others, whether it’s commissions, community art, school projects, workshops or retreats. I love sharing my story of how art saved me from sinking deeper into my depression. I take time for me whenever I need it, for me this involves being at home painting while cuddled up to my dog and an addictive box set on Netflix. What do you do to take time for you? @gracefullyboho #art #arttherapy #wellbeing #mentalhealth #beyou #doyou #findyourpassion #findyourself #selfworth #selflove #health #happy #happiness #gratitude #psoriasis #psoriasiswarrior #psoriaticarthritis #aitoimmunedisease #timeout
