Yo, what up, my anxious fam It's your girl, Riley
Sage here coming at you, lie from the land of
caffeine in existential dread. Let's be real for a sec
Mental health ain't just some trendy hashtag. We're talking about
the real deal, the kind that keeps us ticking, hopefully
not too frantically, the stuff that fuels our dreams, our
(00:21):
tik tok dances, and our ability to decipher which mean
format is truly superior. This week we're diving deep into
a truth bomb. You might be dreading good mental health.
It's not some mystical unicorn quest reserved for monks in
the Himalayas. No, my friend, it's everyone's responsibility. You heard
(00:41):
me right, every single one of us. Like even your
aunt Brenda, who thinks pineapple on pizza is a crime
against humanity. She needs to get her mental game on
point too. Look, I know what you're thinking, Riley, Chill.
This sounds like another lecture from the self care gods.
But trust me, this ain't about burning sage and chanting
(01:02):
affirmations until your voice cracks. We're gonna break it down
in a way that makes sense for gen z raw
real and maybe even a little spicy. Five hot takes
to get your mind right. One. Self care isn't just
bubble bads and avocado toast. It's about acknowledging your struggles,
setting boundaries like seriously tell Karen to take her unsolicited
(01:25):
advice elsewhere, and practicing self compassion. Yeah even when you
mess up, big whoop, we all do. Two. Mental health
isn't a weakness. It's a part of being human. And
just like your phone battery needs charging, your mind needs
some TLC every now and then. Stop acting like taking
care of yourself is some kind of luxury. It's essential. Period. Three.
(01:50):
Social media Yeah, it's amazing for connecting with people, but
it can also be a total dumpster fire for your
mental well being. Constantly compare yourself to others, scrolling through
highlight reels and getting sucked into the drama not cool,
Take breaks, unfollow accounts that make you feel icky, and
remember what you see online is often just a curated illusion. Four.
(02:15):
Therapy isn't just for broken people. It's for anyone who
wants to level up their mental game. Think of it
like going to the gym for your brain. You wouldn't
skip leg day, right, so why skip therapy five. You
have the power to create your own reality. Sounds cheesy,
I get it, But seriously, our thoughts influence our feelings
(02:35):
and actions. So if you're constantly stressing about things outside
your control, guess what, You're just inviting more stress into
your life. Learn to focus on what you can actually
change and let go of the rest. Now for a
real life dose of inspiration, let's talk about Keanu Reeves.
This guy is basically the embodiment of chill. He's known
(02:57):
for his stoicism, kindness, and ability to stay grounded despite
fame and fortune. Remember that viral video where he was
giving away free coffee. Dude even gets us gen Zurrs
feeling a sense of purpose. Keanu's journey isn't all sunshine
and rainbows, though. He's faced personal tragedies, public scrutiny, and
the typical Hollywood pressures. But instead of letting it break him,
(03:21):
he channeled his experiences into something positive, philanthropy, advocacy for
mental health awareness, and just being an absolute legend. He's
a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we
can choose to rise above, stay true to ourselves, and
spread kindness Like wildfire. Final thoughts. Remember, good mental health
(03:42):
isn't a destination, it's a journey. It's about showing up
for yourself every single day, even when you don't feel
like it. It's about breaking down the stigma, supporting each other,
