8 Mental Health Questions to Ask During Challenging Times

I think we can all agree that these are some challenging times. When life‘s difficulties seem to take up the bulk of your time and energy, it is not the time to abandon your self-care or your mental health work. ⁣

It’s time to dig even deeper so that your soul is clear to contribute in whatever manner you may choose. Don’t get so lost in outside things that it consumes you to the point that you lose your spiritual compass. ⁣

Understand that challenges naturally challenge your mental wellbeing, and so it’s important to give your self-care equal attention. ⁣

Healing starts at home. Take some time for self-reflection to check-in with yourself.

Here are 8 mental health questions to help you check-in with yourself:

  1. What am I doing for myself when my emotions are running deep? ⁣
  2. When am I giving my mind time for quiet reflection so that I can sort out my emotions and thoughts?⁣
  3. What would make my heart and my soul feel good? ⁣
  4. When is the last time I did something to allow myself feel relief?⁣
  5. What can I do to allow myself to feel at peace or relaxed?⁣
  6. In what ways am I giving my mental wellbeing attention?⁣
  7. How am I supporting myself in selfish ways?⁣
  8. How can supporting my own health ultimately help me contribute to everything else in my life?⁣

On a final note, if you need a place to vent, I’m here to listen. I invite you to book ⁣an intro session with me at no charge. Venting can be an incredible way to relieve stress and find some clarity. I’m here to listen to you talk your talk and less ⁣poetically, I’m here for your word vomit.
