Mental health challenges affect everyone in different ways. But everyone is affected in one way or another. Either themselves, a family member, or a friend. No one is untouched by mental health challenges. Often, despite never having had anxiety, entrepreneurs and business owners experience the onset of anxiety symptoms and/or have exasperated symptoms if previously diagnosed. In addition, the loneliness of building a business alone can influence your mental health. Especially for women who are often caregivers, in addition to running businesses, we need strategies to navigate mental health and entrepreneurship. This is why knowing where your support and strength come from is so important.
There is no shame in mental health challenges. There is no shame in experiencing mental health challenges. One may feel shame because they feel different and may struggle in social settings, but mental health challenges should not be viewed differently than other physical diagnoses such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. Let's break the stigma.
Strength is available to you. One thing to be sure of, like with any physical illness, is that mental health challenges can cause you to feel exhausted and tired, maybe even burnt out, like you can't muster the energy to do anything or take one more step in the right direction. But whether you are struggling yourself or you are caring for or helping someone else who is experiencing mental health challenges, there is hope! More energy and feeling better are possible.
In Romans 8:11, Paul tells us, "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you."
What does this mean for us as believers? It means the Holy Spirit is in us to rejuvenate us and give us strength to fight mental health challenges of our own or to care for someone else - to be a support system.
You are refreshed, renewed, and redeemed. In other words, you are not alone, friend. Through the Holy Spirit, you gain strength; you are not weak. You are refreshed, renewed, and redeemed. His supernatural power is available because the Holy Spirit lives in you. You are powerful and can navigate life with mental health challenges with His help.
