Why I am raising money for “Young Minds” charity.
It is not a secret for anyone at this point that I feel very strongly about the subject of mental health, as well as destroying the stigma that surrounds it. I mean, it even says in my bio, both here and on Instagram that I am a mental health advocate. And since I started a fundraiser for YoungMinds charity on my birthday last month, I thought this is a good time to elaborate on the subject a bit more. To make it more personal, more transparent. To tell a story about a real life experience.

Long Covid.

The Best Mindset for Minimizing Stress
It's tough to navigate stress. Part of the problem comes from how not many of us have developed effective ways for dealing with it. In general, social scientists agree that avoidance of stress is not a very effective coping strategy. A lot of (most?) life's stressors are unavoidable and cannot be avoided, but most people can still find ways to relax during difficult times. Although we have to cope with these changes, the best way to deal with them is to prepare in advance. People can get better at how they interpret the stress they experience, but we can't learn to be immune to it.
