7 “Weird” Habits That Actually Keep My Mental Health on Track

Mental health doesn’t always come dressed in yoga pants with a smoothie in hand. Sometimes, it’s talking to yourself in a David Attenborough voice or rereading The Secret Garden for the 12th time. As a therapist (and chaos gremlin in recovery), I’ve learned to honour the small, peculiar rituals that keep me stitched together.

In this piece, I’m sharing 7 of my strangest daily habits—the kind that don’t look like wellness, but are. They’re messy, sensory, emotionally scruffy, and often involve playlists titled “Existential Laundry Folding.”

If you’ve ever felt like your coping mechanisms make no sense to others but feel like home to you… this one’s for you.

Fifty & Unfiltered: Embracing My Neurodivergent Journey

Fifty & Unfiltered – Embracing My Neurodivergent Journey

Turning fifty as a neurodivergent woman feels like finally taking a deep breath after decades of holding it in. For years, I masked, molded, and tried to fit into a world that wasn’t built for my brain. But now? I’m done shrinking myself.

At fifty, I’ve learned that my intensity, my deep emotions, my scattered-yet-brilliant way of thinking—these aren’t flaws. They are part of who I am, and I refuse to apologize for them anymore.

🔹 What I wish I knew sooner: You are not “too much.” You are not broken. You are not here to meet the expectations of people who don’t understand you.

Here’s to living unfiltered, embracing every neurodivergent quirk, and taking up space unapologetically.

Want to Know What Art Therapy Is All About?

What is Art Therapy?

Art has long been a powerful tool for self-expression and emotional healing. More than just aesthetics, the creative process taps into our subconscious, offering a path to deeper self-awareness and personal growth.

Art therapy is a psychotherapy approach that uses creative expression to support mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Unlike traditional talk therapy, art therapy allows individuals to express emotions non-verbally, giving shape to feelings that may be difficult to articulate.

At its core, art therapy is based on several key principles:

  • Non-Verbal Expression – Art offers a unique form of communication beyond words.

  • Self-Exploration – Creativity fosters deeper introspection and emotional awareness.

  • Symbolism – Artistic creations can reveal subconscious thoughts and emotions.

  • Empowerment – The creative process provides control over one’s healing journey.

  • Holistic Healing – Art therapy acknowledges the mind-body connection in emotional wellness.

Whether through guided sessions with a therapist or self-led creative exercises, art therapy provides a safe and transformative way to explore emotions. Looking for a place to start? Try Printable Art Therapy Cards for mindfulness and emotional reflection.
