May was Mental Health Awareness month, and below I reference a few articles we have posted on social media for further reading. Our goal in calling awareness to mental health challenges for entrepreneurs is threefold:
1) Destigmatize Mental Health Challenges
2) Create Openness & Transparency
3) Empower People to Seek Help
As an entrepreneur myself and working with entrepreneurial organizations for the entirety of my career, I have had to face my own anxiety, be open and transparent with safe others to help me find solutions, and be empowered to prioritize my own mental health and take care of myself. How I practice this is through embodied practices in nature, like walking, hiking, running, biking, and taking deep breaths. I also like meditation and sing with the Indy Choral Artisans.
