Mental Health Checklist

Believe it or not, I went through all of the above. More when younger & crazier, but also some during my entrepreneurial journey as a 1st generation immigrant who is a minority businesswoman with no immediate family here. Though the rock-bottom stage has passed, I’m sure some can still happen to a lighter extent. And of course, I’ve observed many elites suffering mentally.

We should normalise that anyone can experience these at any point in life, and talk more about the tips to rebound fast & strive to be happy & healthy daily.

Based on journals & rituals I’ve kept for years, I’d like to share a few of what I do to keep my sanity when I have a chance next few months (Not sure how much though! Got too busy this year), hoping some might find them helpful.

지난 몇 년간 작성해온 저널들과 습관화해온 리추얼들을 토대로, 제가 겪었던 이야기를 앞으로 몇 달동안 시간 날때마다 (많이 바빠져서 얼마나 할 수 있을지 잘 모르겠지만), 공유해보려 해요. 누군가에게는 도움되었으면 하는 바램으로.
