Video Transcript<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHello Everyone. Today, I am going to be talking about the importance of mental health and how finding a hobby or project can help you. I will be talking about my personal experience with my beekeeping journey and how that has influenced me with my mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pre-Beekeeping, I would struggle with my self-esteem, and I would constantly have voices in my head that aggressively talked down to me, convincing me that I was worth little to nothing. This was mentally unhealthy and is problematic for anyone who believes that they\u2019re worthless because this will actively kill your motivation to improve yourself or your commitment to anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout my whole life, I\u2019ve had a passion for nature. Honestly, the whole Animalia and plantae world is truly fascinating with their incredibly diverse creatures that are beautifully designed, roaming around amongst us. When I found out about beekeeping, it hooked my attention because I learned that I could do something I love, help the environment, and occasionally profit from the beekeeping sales or services. Beekeeping seemed perfect for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new discovery of the potential beekeeping hobby gave me the drive and motivation to learn, improve, and sharpen my knowledge of beekeeping. With time, I became a beekeeper. Becoming a beekeeper was an accomplishment, a true achievement that suppressed my harmful thoughts and gave me a sense of fulfillment, knowing that I discovered a true piece of myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is why I strongly encourage everyone who comes across this to search and explore hobbies. Be able to learn about yourself, be able to discover a passion, and give yourself a want or a reason to push yourself to improve. Thus doing so will improve your mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
