May is mental health awareness month!
Michelle Williams opened up about her mental health issues, and is now an inspiration for everyone!
Last year, the Destiny’s Child singer checked herself into a mental health facility. She’s been open about her journey and has dedicated her life to increasing awareness about mental health. She wants to use her voice to empower others dealing with similar issues.
Back in February, she gave fans an update about her mental health status. She let people know that she’s still pushing through!
Yesterday (May 8), she reminded her supporters to take care of their mental being as well, which includes physical fitness. She broke down an ignorant mindset that people would say about her working out. Since she’s already fit, some people would question what’s the point of working out. In her post, she wrote,
“I actually work out because of how I feel afterward. Yes, the physical results I see in the mirror are cool but the place I was in mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally in December is different from where I am today! “
She went on to say how two women commended her for being such a “light.” In response Williams said,
“I shared my story. It wasn’t always light and peace coming out of me! LOL!! There was anger, disappointment, depression, and shame just oozing out of my pores but I had to take control. You have to make yourself a priority or your circumstances will kill you! Work out, make your circle smaller, pray, eat good, be kind, go to therapy and mind ya business is the start of a healthy mind and heart! I’ll share more of my journey!!”
