Why traveling is what every woman need for mental health...

-

Heyyyy it's your girl LaTris.  

I have a question; Do you need a vacation? 

Whether it's with a group, a friend or two or simply by yourself, how often do you get to travel?

Getting a chance to travel is therapeutic and refreshing for your mental health.




As I talked with different women from all walks of life for an example: a single mother, a married woman with children, and a business professional woman with no children; yes, they all have different dynamics of life but they all had one thing in common which is preserving their mental health. They all view that in-order to maintain balance in their life rather traveling near or far, traveling is much needed to refocus, reset and recharge themselves mentally. 

Knowing that your environment and everyday routine has a huge impact on your overall mental health. As a black woman or any woman for that matter the consent hustle and bustle is nonstop. If it's from not wanting to leave the family or you just simply don't have the time-STOP and MAKE TIME.... I am here to tell you that in order to maintain a healthy mental state, traveling definitely should be on the list of things to do.

There are many reasons to why traveling for your mental health is important. Taking a vacation stimulates creativity, help adapt to challenges, boost your mood, increase personal growth and self-development. All these factors are what is needed to help maintain your mental health. 

As I told you before self-care is an important factor to keep your mental health in tact. Traveling allows you to step out of your comfort zone and forces you to learn and trust your own instincts. Meet new people and explore different things.

Whether it's getting a AirBnB for the weekend in your hometown, travel to another state or travel out the country its all an amazing reason to travel. Just getting some sunshine, water or cocktail and a different scenery can turn things around.

 So, are you ready to take a trip?

Pack your bags and make a weekend out of it, you deserve it!!!

Are you ready for this Milk & Honey...

She-Me-Her at 40… Which one are you or are you all 3!!!

Failure Will Lead To Success

  What is failure?  No one ever thinks about failing but when it happens what do you do?  We all have failed in some form or fashion but do you get back up again to get to the finish line? Life will continue to bring on challenges and obstacles, when you feel like your back is against the wall and you feel like everything in your life began to crumble. As things begin to look cloudy and it seems like things will never let up, my mind races and I don't know how to stop it times. When it feels like I try and try and nothing is ever good enough. Let me tell you feeling like you have it all and have thing planned out, well let me be the one to tell you that life you give you lemons repeatedly.  Let me be transparent here; I was at the top of my game, high paying career, I was engaged and ready to move to build a new future. Well things changed, I was working for a while until I resigned because to care for my mother and things were changing from Covid. Yes, we lived in a...

My Childhood Trauma: How I Didn’t Let It Define Me

  If you have never experienced growing up in a domestic household then let be the one to tell you those memories haunt you into adulthood. Reaching the age of 40 I dig deeper into my inner child and when I say it’s a roller coaster of emotions. At a young age I heard lot going on in our household that my big sister and big brother (stepbrother) tried to protect me from. We lived in a household where there was domestic violence going; at that time I’m not sure what it was called but it scared the heck out of me because my mother was getting her ass beat. It would be arguing, yelling, glass throwing, my mama running screaming stop, walls being punched because my daddy (my stepfather) missed my mama face. I would be so scared that I would get in the bed with my sister and cry and she would cover my ears and rock me to sleep. My sister and I are 10 yrs apart so imagine being a little girl yourself and making sure your little sister is protected.    I could remember us (my ma...

LOOKING BACK :Through The Lens

 As I lay here 3 days before my hip replacement surgery, I will be 40 in 8 months and I begin to look back over my life I began to think things over (verse from my favorite song “I’ve Got A Testimony”). I have experience some tough obstacles that I can truly say I have overcame with therapy and the love of my supportive and loving wife Angie, children, family and friends. I became a teenage single mother at 15 years old and had to make the best life for my daughter while dealing with the death of  my grandfather whom passed literal  days after I gave birth to my oldest daughter and finding my Papa (my mama’s fiancé) OD in the back of his limo. They were big supporters and I felt my world was lost. Not everyone supported me but I had to say to  HELL with them and make it work the best way I thought I knew how. I had to grow up fast because I had this little person depending on ME!!! Realizing that it was my baby and I against the world, I did any and everything to mak...
