Something I've learned [and relearned] is a best practice of letting someone else know you're struggling. Even if it's a simple, "I'm having a rough day [week...month...year]". When we bring our struggle into the light and stop pretending, it empowers us to create real and lasting change. It identifies with others and creates unity. It takes us from singular based thinking to community derived culture that not only supports us, but also the generations we're leading to take our place.
Let's stop pretending that mental health is reserved for those bound by straight jackets and confined to padded rooms.
An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older -- about 1 in 4 adults -- suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. John Hopkins Medicine
So for our teachers standing in full classrooms, there is not one hurting student, but many. For our business leaders who employ hundreds of households, there is not one suffering, but many.
So as the many are afflicted, the larger collective must rally to support and create pathways for care. Let's allow May to be our launching pad for how we open up our eyes, ears and hearts to those that sit next to us in class, work with us at the office or live with us at home.

Your exercise goal is 30 minutes on most days. Aim for a total of 150 or more minutes a week. Not
sure you can fit one 30-minute block of exercise time into your day? Split it up into shorter 10- and
15-minute blocks. Do this 2 to 3 times a day. You’ll still get all of the benefits of exercise.
