Seasonal Shiftings: Mental Shiftings. Part 1

Before I start I want everyone to repeat this prayer

“ I am enough, I am called, blessed and highly favored and A child of the most high living God,”Amen and Amen!


Prince Harry Once said “The experience I have had is that once you start talking about experiencing a mental health struggle, you realize that you’re actually part of quite a big club” and when we think about that quote, how often do we think that someone is thinking and experiencing the same thoughts and the same feelings that we are? At times we simply don’t, because in that moment we’re so caught up in our feelings and thoughts that we tend to forget about people around us. Mental illnesses play a very big role in my generation but depression being the number 1 illness for us. Let’s be realistic with ourselves right now, we’ve all been in a place where we weren’t happy with ourselves and with what we’re doing, maybe school has been overwhelming you OR maybe that relationship you’re in, took you to a deep dark place and sent you into a depression simply because you’re tired of the same old things. We have all been there and it’s okay to admit to that, but when you go into the public, does it show that you’re fighting your thoughts or you walk like nothing is bothering you? If you’re like me, we walk like nothing is happening which is good externally but internally it is a mess. Just to be realistic with you guys, back in 2019, I was in a very dark place where I was just not happy. I was fresh out of a relationship, overwhelmed about school, working in a toxic environment and stressed about friendships, I was genuinely not happy and everyone around me could see it. I was in that depression for about 6 months but I got up and still handled business, but I was miserable while doing it because my mind was fighting my body, It felt like I was at a railroad crossing waiting for the train to end so the crossing could lift, but it never lifted. It was a mess. I prayed and prayed to God for something to shift and nothing happened so I started to just give up, but something told me just be quiet and listen to what God is telling me, and he simply told me after a storm there is always a rainbow and here I am 3 years later in places i’ve never imagined myself being in, speaking life into people as well as being a light to people, needless to say, Yes I do experience those moments where I feel down, sad and numb to everything around me but I don’t let that moment stop what I have simply because I’m stronger physical than I am mentally. Anyone out there struggling with that just know sometimes, you must BREAK in order to GLOW. ( let that sink in for a minute ) when you’re experiencing those dark moments just remember you’re not alone and you’re a blessing and you mean so much to people , even me! Just remember to call on the name on the Lord and he’ll be there, no matter what!


If you ever feel as you want to harm yourself please do not hesitate to call 800-274-8255 or even me! my contact information is listed below.


“I give all my battles to you Lord, guide me through whatever path and allow me to consistently listen to your voice as the worldly things try to distract me , allow me to always remember that my Godly father will never lead astray .. Amen
