Mental Well-Being [monologue]

Published: April 27, 2021, 3:13 a.m.

It’s a taboo topic of conversation for many, especially in most churches and workplaces. The well-being of our minds have not been prioritized as much as our bodies and brains. If we can physically or intellectually work hard enough, we can almost drown out or smother the mind. Burnout could easily be avoided if we cared more for our own and others’ mental health. Suicide could easily be prevented if it was easier to talk about things going on in our minds that are difficult because it requires vulnerability and safe space, free of judgment or criticism. Having faith does not negate in any way that we may be mentally unwell, just like a the most holy saint can be physically unwell. This monologue isn’t much, but it’s another chisel at the big ole stone wall that serves as a barrier between us now and our best selves. We’re all composed of a mind, body, and spirit — let’s not neglect the health any of them! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
