Music has an impact on our mental health so let’s put music on and stay focused on your life in a positive way!  Music has the ability to impact us in a way that no other art form does.

Active thoughts of  suicide  involve clear and specific thoughts about suicide or plans to take your own life. I know from my own experience. Suicidal thoughts can also take a less-defined shape.

 Mindset of productivity  Here is a video that explains how we can be more productive 👇 Procrastination can have negative effects on both our energy levels and the amount of time we have available to complete tasks. When we put off tasks, we often think and tell ourselves that we are giving ourselves a break or more time to complete the task. However, in reality, we are just creating more stress and anxiety for ourselves.  1. Write in your journal  2. Don’t over commit  3. Look after your mental health  4. Get off social media for example facebook etc 5. Have a to do list each day  6. Create a planner for the week  I hope this helps you to improve your productivity so you can get your work done.
