How I kept my mental health in-check.

Navigating a career path comes with its share of challenges, such as fatigue, stress, and even feelings of depression. It's essential to remember to take things at a manageable pace; after all, it's not a race. The ultimate goal isn't just reaching the end but rather building mastery of the skillset.

Focus on the process of compounding—accomplishing a little each day adds up over time and yields rewards. Embrace the rubber band theory, recognizing that being pulled back can propel you further forward. Visualization is key; if it's challenging to picture your future, seek inspiration from videos, books, and conversations with professionals in the field.

Finally, surround yourself with the right support system that will keep you accountable and cheer you up with your accomplishments.
