Happy Eid Mubarak fam!🤗 I was wondering, why stress myself when I have lots to do and I also feel like relaxing? So I took the initiative to record this episode. Do not stress me out! Yeah, don't! Why? Because our body needs some peace and quiet and some relaxation you know.😊 Anyways, there are tremendous benefits by oozing calmness and ejecting stress. Stress is one of the primary causes of Depression Elias Anxiety. And it comes in form of exhaustion, hard work and pressure. So, i'm just dropping my own opinion and take on the topic by being a lady with the voice of Hope.🤗 Just say this to yourself everyday. Do-not-stress-me-out.

Previously on VOH, the definition, benefits and reasons of taking a stand were discussed but on this recent episode, we will be talking about being assertive and being able to say No when need be. Sometimes, saying NO doesn't make you rude, peevish or intolerable. It just shows that you have boundaries, standards and limits. Understanding that shows that you value your self and that you really care for and prioritize your mental wellbeing. Standing up for yourself shows that you have guts but being able to set standards and layed down rules for people to follow, shows you are smart.

Here is another episode on VOH titled " Taking a Stand". Taking a stand means to express one's opinion and to stand for it. Many times, we are faced with situations that can cause us to consider compromising our values but unfortunately the more we compromise our values, the more of a negative impact it poses on our mental wellbeing. And the more we keep tolerating unacceptable things, we tend to compromise our value, and even continue to do so. Sometimes saying NO is the best thing one can do to be of optimal mental health. On the other hand, when we stand up for what we believe in, the benefits bring us tremendous positive impact. On this same topic, we will be discussing the benefits of taking a stand and as well how to do so.

Happy International Women's Day fam! Drawing Strength means to get, pull out strength, courage or confidence from positive things in a difficult situation. In life, it's certain that we will always have setbacks, challenges, storms, tribulations. It's normal, it has been happening, it's not new. We would always experience loss, sometimes retrogression, instability and setbacks. But in all we will always overcome because we have faith. We have so many people we can draw strength from, we can draw Strength from family, teachers, mentors, friends and most importantly God. Episode 3 talks more about being able to depend on people for help. That doesn't make us weak, but it makes us realize that we can't do all alone. No man is an island we all need each other to survive.
