I have anxiety issues and this year is taking a huge toll on my mental health. I've started doing yoga and meditation since last week and am giving much importance to my mental and emotional well being than I used to. I also am using notion to organize my stuff more efficiently. I'm proud of my lil steps towards a healthier and happy me! ^-^

Yeah I have a very lot of depression and insomnia, and I know how feels haven't a cool mental health, that destroy you a lot, my error is try to solve my mental problem with alcohol and with that try to change my emotional situation, I have to fight a lot with my mind, lately I skate to try get de-stress and keep my mind busy and focus in another things, it works a lot but don't how I would like, so animus, Never Give Up😉😁👍✌️

Hi Aishika, This is really a win. I think we all technocrats have this anxiety issue. I am also facing this issue of anxiety these days and it takes a toll on my sleep patterns too. Me too working on it like following:

• Stick to day working hours,
• Evening time play with my duo Kidz 30-45 mins,
• Must have 2hrs difference between dinner & bedtime
• Breathing exercises 5-10 mins before sleeping (Elom Vilom)
• Morning time go for 30mins cycling or running (if sleep was good last night :) )

More important "LET IT GO, LET IT GO.......mmmm...." :)

Congrats, Aishika! Lockdown also got me into meditation and yoga and it surely helps a lot.

I built and launched my personal blog (finally 🥳). It's built with Gatsby, and I'm quite happy with the result and the journey too considering I started from the basic starter template.

I also wrote a quick tutorial post on it which I reposted here. It happens to be my first post on dev.to even though I've been a member here since 2018 😁.

Oh, man, that looks really nice. Nicely done. I even like the color. :D

Not a pretty huge thing but converted my self hosted blog(cybercafe.dev) to a fully functioning PWA. Also written an article about it. If anybody who is running a Ghost JS instance and interested, can check out the steps here. It helped me understand service workers, browser cache api and webmanifest.

[Vaibhav Khulbe]

Despite of fever, weakness, and cold, I still managed to write an article at DEV.

Sticking to the promises I made to myself 🤞
