Motivational Monday TEDx of the Week
"There’s no shame in taking care of your mental health."
Looking for a dose of inspiration to start your week? No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.
Today's talk is There's no shame in taking care of your mental health by Sangu Delle. When stress got to be too
much for TED Fellow Sangu Delle, he had to confront his own deep prejudice:
that men shouldn't take care of their mental health. In a personal talk, Delle
shares how he learned to handle anxiety in a society that's uncomfortable with
emotions. As he says: "Being honest about how we feel doesn't make us weak
-- it makes us human."
After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:
- What resonated for you in the video?
- What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?
- As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?
- What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.
- How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?
