Cara A

I’ve learned that if I don’t take care of my mental health, even the physical or career progress doesn’t feel like enough. Even small things — like talking to someone I trust, going for walks, praying or meditating, or joining community groups — really help. It’s about balance. I’m trying to remind myself that my mind needs care too because I matter as a person, not just what I can achieve. I’m learning to invest more in my mental health now, because I’ve seen how important it is for staying strong through this journey.
