I know there’s a lot of literature out there discussing the world we live in and how to take action, but these are just a few that stood out to me that I thought I would re-share.

I’m currently struggling with the plethora of feelings; the fear of being about 15-minutes away from the riots and mayhem happening in the City of Los Angeles, the guilt for “not doing enough”, the anger against the injustice inflicted on innocent people #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery #BreonnaTaylor and their families because of a system that does not work, the conflicted disbelief toward people who are getting angry with non-blacks for trying to speak out and support, and the empathy for the individuals in the National Guard who are getting ripped away from their families because they are being called to keep the peace and be on a “side” of the protesting that they possibly don’t believe in.

On top of what is happening today, COVID-19 is still an issue, unemployment rates will increase due to lack of economic opportunity, Mother Nature is hurting due to climate change, and citizens (not just in USA but around the world) are still doing what they can to hold their governments accountable.

Note: I am NOT trying to belittle or take away the importance of what is happening in response to #blacklivesmatter. I’m including other situations happening on a global scale to shed light on what else is looming at the back of our minds.

Which leads me to this... For the people out there struggling with all the emotions and who are affected by the state of the world, please take this as a reminder to take care of your mental health too.

1/ Be aware of how you feel, know why you feel the way you do, don’t blame, and accept all your emotions as natural and understandable.

2/ Take action. Think of ways to best express your emotions, learn how to change your mood, build positive emotions, and seek support. Also, don’t forget to exercise your mind and body.

3/ Get help with difficult emotions that feel unbearable. There are many local and national resources out there.

2020/05/28 • Celebrating my one year at Space Park 🚀✨🛰 💛 #aerospace #spacesystems

Someone once “warned” me that transferring to this campus would make me a “little fish in a big pond”. It was a last attempt to keep me in my current role because staying meant that I could “continue being a big fish in a little pond”. I *awkward laughed* and politely thanked him for his advice. To this day, I never forgot this moment because immediately after that conversation I thought to myself... ‘why not be a big fish in a big pond?’ 🧐 lol

To all my fellow women in the workplace and (generally) all my fellow women who are striving for their best life, don’t ever let other people’s limiting thoughts and opinions keep you from being brave regardless of the unknown. Take risks. Believe in yourself. Be your own best advocate. (Encouraging, motivating, and inspiring people are out there. And when you do find them... hold on tight and thrive together.) #womensupportingwomen
