The Business

Moving forward with your mental health and livelihood.

By Butterfly Nation Published 5 years ago 3 min read

selling bracelets and more to raise money for my business and family. I will be doing more videos on how I make my jewelry. The process is fun and delightful lol. I’m into marketing and advertising for myself as I can relay some tips on that as well :)

I’m very resourceful when it comes to things I love like fashion and designing. Basically that’s what I’m doing.

As I’m on social media I’m seeing more and more people becoming entrepreneurs or going into business for themselves which I highly adore and admire.

Just having my first child has given me the momentum to move forward with my business balancedinbeautyy which is also where I blog and post on my tumblr account. I figured this would be a great way to socialize and network. And to reach out and get my business, ideas, and more across. I’m more of a writer than a talker so when I came across vocal I was stunned and intrigued so I had to join.

Why?

Network 👥 = Networth 💰

Plus I’ve been hospitalized in a mental institution. Andddd they are always not talked about very much but there are pros and cons to being there. I’ve been in and out of there for 8 years now. Wheww. Moving FORWARD I am. I have a son and family to think about now. So I’ve discussed going more into the topic of mental health.

What is mental health to me?

Mental health to me pertains to the mind and being able to live through each day without fail. Without fail, I don’t mean not making mistakes and things such forth because we all make mistakes. I mean as to make each day count and look at it in a positive way. If something bad happens just learn from it.

I’m always in predicaments where I have to learn which can be exhausting to my mental health because I began to overthink , and how I managed to have a mental breakdown/and or psychotic break. Yah yah yah . It happens and not only to me.

Having my son has made me realize I will do anything possible to make sure he is taken care of. Why? Because growing up I wasn’t, I had to take care of myself and make sure I was okay. But God blessing me with him has given me the reason to move forward and definitely keep my mental health at the forefront. Now I have to take care of me and him. Which I am ready and prepared to do. I’m 27 years old and just had my first child at this past October.

Growing up I wanted the best for me. I’ve never thought about kids honestly but I always loved them. I planned to live my life and make sure I was stable before I had kids.

Working on my home business @Balanced_in_beauty was leading me to becoming stable before I was hospitalized for having a so called psychotic break but I call it having not taking anyone’s sheiytt anymore if you know what I mean 😪 everything is exhausting from arguing to fighting and anything else negative.

Negative things affect my mind in a bad way. Therefore, I have to create peace or find my own. (Goals)

Finding my own place and starting a work from business or side business because it’s not where I want it to be yet. I’ve been working much on the business aspect of my business as far as what I want to do, and where , and all the things I will need , etc .

I can’t focus on fighting over which is naturally mines and that is my son. Yes, I’m having issues but that is okay because the man above will always make a way. I’m sure he has made a way for many of people out there. And I am one.

Keeping my mental healthy has always been a priority for me. It keeps me balanced and beautified lol. I like to read and write to release the many things that go through my mind. I finally have an outlet where I can just keep going and going!!

But yeah mental health is important and eating right can contribute to a good mind as well. As well as physical exercise. There are many ways to keep up with your mental health too. I learned all of this throughout my years in the mental institution. Even Einstein was there! Boom! Lol. But typically mental institutions are looked as at bad and it’s not. The place itself isn’t but the people who run well maybe . But that’s for another day.

I hope my beautiful audience loved what I wrote and was interested to want to keep reading more because I want to write more.
