Hey all, welcome back for another episode of I Wish I Never Said That. May is Mental Health Awareness month and today I wanted to take some time to talk about a topic that very much affects our mental health and that is vulnerability. Too often we see our vulnerabilities as weaknesses and instead of facing them head on to change the narrative about them, we live with them and let them exert their influence over us. We're told we are not good at something or not capable of doing something and we let that become our identity.
This happened to me and for the longest time I always thought I wasn't a good writer. When I talked to people about writing I was quick to point out that my writing wasn't the best. But in dealing with this vulnerability, I changed my way of thinking about it. I told myself I was a good writer and then I started to practice it so I became better at it.
Since then I've learned you need to love your vulnerabilities and that expressing them will give you power and light. It will go a long way into valuing yourself and your mental health.
