My Mental Break ends 😊

Class is back in session for me this Summer 📚

I was currently on a mental break this semester and honestly, I miss school so much on this break but it was needed because I was so unsure of my major recent “nursing” 🫠 and didn’t feel motivated 🫣 about my choice🥹. So I took a break to figure out what’s best for me and I am happy with my new major choice which is Information Technology 👩🏽‍💻 I have always been a tech girly since I was a little girl and as an adult, tech has grown interesting. So with this new change, I am going into my new semester confident and motivated also putting my trust in God with this process🙌🏽.

BTW- I did my own nails 💅

... Read moreTaking a mental break can be a transformative experience for many students. It allows you to step back from academic pressures and evaluate your goals and aspirations carefully. During my break, I explored various fields and reassessed my passion for technology. Information Technology is not only a booming industry but also an area that fosters creativity and innovation. Many students face similar dilemmas when choosing their majors, often feeling overwhelmed by societal expectations or their own uncertainties. Engaging with peers and mentors in the tech field can provide enrichment and guidance during these times of self-discovery. It's important to embrace vulnerability and acknowledge the learning process. Programs in IT not only cover technical skills but also emphasize problem-solving and adaptability—skills relevant in any career path. Additionally, many resources are available for students considering a shift in their major, including mentorship programs, workshops, and online communities. Utilizing these resources can enhance your learning experience and provide valuable support as you navigate your new path. So, if you're contemplating a similar change or just in need of mental clarity, know that taking a break to reevaluate your direction is perfectly okay and can pave the way toward a fulfilling career.

It lists mental disorders with strong biological influences (e.g., Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder) and factors affecting mental health, including biological, spiritual, cultural, family, personality, health practices, environmental, and economic aspects.

A notebook page with colorful handwritten notes and illustrations about mental health. The title reads "mental health matters!" with "#Break the Stigma." It explains mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being, not just the absence of illness. A scale balances "Mental Illness" factors like stress and anxiety with "Well-Being" factors like therapy and rest. The image also lists aspects of mental health, including handling stress, self-perception, relationships, and finding meaning.
Mental health is more than the absence of illness💙
Too often, we only think of “mental health” when someone is struggling with anxiety or depression. Mental health also includes: 🌸 How we handle stress ☀️ How we see ourselves 🤝 How we build relationships 🌈 How we find meaning in life It’s not about choosing between “illness” or “well
