Mental Health.

Mental health is often overlooked as a prep. You're not going to be of any use to anyone in a SHTF situation when you're already losing your shit. We're women, we're expected to be "emotional and crazy". But that's probably because we spend so much time serving others instead of ourselves. So I want the ladies here to take a minute. Breathe in deep. And unclench. Take a minute to think about what YOU need. Not your kid. Not your husband. Not your boss. Not your mom. YOU.

Take 5 minutes today and make a plan on how to make YOU happy. Is it a bath? Is it sitting and listening to your favorite music while lying on the floor? Is it 10 uninterrupted minutes of silence? Is it punching your boss in the face? That's a little over the line. But just sit there and envision it and smile at the thought.

Take that time for yourself. Take it and do what you need to do. Because you need it.
