How to take care of YOUR mental health!

Mental health affects many things in our lives, it affects how we think, feel, and act especially.

Self care is a huge part of our mental health and how it can better our mental health slowly, so my tigers and doves, here are my self care tips!

Regular exercise: now, I know not everyone is an exercise person but even the smallest stuff like walks can generally improve our mental health!

Stick to a sleeping schedule: I understand, wanting to stay up late on weekends is pretty fun! You want to dance around all weekend or just talk to your friends online, but making sure you have proper sleep can actually generally improve your mental health!

Practice self acceptance: To properly take care of our mental health, we need to recognize we have those inner critics and unfortunately they can get out of hand but it's important to remember your a human being and build self compassion!

Journaling/Writing: As “childish” as this may seem, journaling has shown to actually help out your mental health! It's good to get out our feelings to a journal if we're not ready to talk to someone we trust or we struggle with our words in person, it's good to get it all out in a journal, a place where we can feel safe emotionally.

I definitely have more tips but these are the main ones I have! I hope these might help somebody!

@/kittiearie on tiktok wrote this caption on her video: "When the sundown sisters' feminism is being upset Margot Robbie wasn't nominated for an Oscar but silent on how women and girls in Palestine don't have access to pads, tampons, contraceptive pills and other hygeine products while mothers are having their children without anesthetics."

some of white western feminist advocacy boils down to viewing issues (problematically so) as one-dimensional. their praxis never includes reflexivity, accountability, and intersectionality; while they ensure that their OWN reproductive health rights are never threatened, they vastly ignore so many people suffering in the world just because it doesn't directly impact them -looking at their priorities is just always so shameless and despicable.

"...you can’t solve the problem apart from the problem. You can’t be liberated from male chauvinism if you don’t even deal with it--if you run away from it. And I think forming any separate organization with that in mind is negating or contradicting what you’re setting out to do...simply because of the fact that we are members of the Black Panther Party and are therefore in the vanguard, does not necessarily mean that we can deem ourselves champions of women’s liberation. We believe that male chauvinism must be stomped out, because we have come to realize that it is bourgeois... whether or not we will become champions of women’s liberation, whether or not we’ll be able to provide the example to lead other organizations towards women’s liberation will come thru our practice."

Feminism that does not include trans people is not a form of feminism that will be able to enact positive change. It will only continue to reinforce the systems that hold us down.
