Monthly Mental Health Tips: The Power Of The In-Between: A July Mental Health Tip

🧠Mental Health Tip

“Pause for the In-Between”

This month, practice noticing the in-between moments, those quiet spaces between healing and hurting, clarity and confusion, connection and solitude. These liminal spaces often go unnoticed, but they’re where emotional growth quietly takes root.

🌙 Try this: At least once a day, pause and ask yourself, “What am I learning about myself right now, without needing to fix it?”

💡 Why It Matters:
We often rush from struggle to solution. But honoring the in-between allows us to slow down, build self-trust, and recognize the subtler forms of progress. Especially during times of transformation or identity shifts, these moments hold insight, softness, and truth.

✨ The pause is not a setback, it’s a sacred space.
