5 Things To Stop Doing for Better Mental Health
Taking care of your mental health starts with recognizing the things that hold you back. Sometimes, it’s the small habits we don’t even notice that affect our well-being. By letting go of these habits, we make room for more peace and happiness.
1️⃣ Stop trying to please everyone. You can’t make everyone happy, and it’s not your job to. Focus on what aligns with your values and priorities.
2️⃣ Stop isolating yourself. It’s easy to withdraw when life feels tough, but connection is key. Reach out to someone—even if it’s just for a short chat.
3️⃣ Stop being afraid to ask for help. You don’t have to do everything alone. Whether it’s a friend, therapist, or professional, asking for support is a sign of strength.
4️⃣ Stop overloading your schedule. Saying yes to everything leaves no time for rest or reflection. Keep space for yourself—your mental health needs it.
5️⃣ Stop ignoring your emotions. Feel what you feel without judgment. Acknowledging your emotions, instead of suppressing them, helps you process and heal.
Your mental health is worth prioritizing, and making small changes can help you feel better each day. Let go of what doesn’t serve you, and focus on what brings you peace. What’s one thing you’ll stop doing today to feel better? Share in the comments. Add to the list.

Hey Friend, Welcome to a part of my small world. Because this is called the "About Me" Page, I probably should say a few things about me. Right? Here goes.... I was a Certified Child Development Specialist for over twenty years, while working with infants, toddlers, Pre-K and Head Start..... I am now a Certified (Christian) Breakthrough Life Coach through Life Breakthrough Academy. I could say so much more between the dot, dot, dots...but I'll spare you the boredom. LOL I am the founder of -Her Journey Towards Change- for women who are (for whatever reason) on their journey towards change. I believe everyone needs that 'go to' person in facilitating change. But, sadly, not everyone does. I know what it's like trying to figure life out but can't seem to get past the 'stuck' mindset. The first step to becoming 'unstuck' is being truthful with yourself. Believe me...I know. This is why I started 'Her Journey Towards Change.' I have a passion and purpose for serving God and for serving women. My hope is to provide you with a valuable service in finding clarity in your struggles, accountability in reaching your goals, assisting with strategies through guidance and support, focus on your God-given talents and unique skills, offer positive insights and new perspectives and eliminate the negativity that might be pulling you down. I truly believe God has given women a uniqueness like nothing else in this world. I also believe when we, as women, understand our identity in Christ, we can know our purpose. And in spite of our challenges, we can live in faith with the hope and joy God desires for us. ~Born and raised as a coal miner's daughter in North Central West Virginia is what keeps me humble. My influence as a Christian, wife, mother and grandmother gives me purpose. Living my life to the fullest and making each day count is what keeps me fulfilled. Using my God-given talents for others simply makes me happy...and living for God is what makes me whole.~
