Defying Summer Pressure

Summer often comes with the expectation of constant joy and activity — a ‘summer pressure’ to match the perfect images on social media. This can make us feel inadequate or stressed when our reality doesn’t measure up. Here are a few things to remember:

1. It’s okay to have off days, not every day must be packed with activities.
2. Your summer doesn’t need to mirror anyone else’s — what matters is your contentment and peace.
3. Social media mostly showcases highlights, ups and downs are normal.
4. Self-care, rest, and recharging are vital for mental health.

Always remember, it’s okay to move at your own pace, you’re not alone, and help is available when you need it.
