Anjana Chirayath is a student at the University of Western Ontario, she graduated her undergraduate degree in English literature with a minor in History, and is currently working towards a teaching degree. She aspires to one day become a teacher. On her spare time Anjana loves writing and telling stories through poetry.

She explained to us how she often finds herself not having restful sleep if she doesn’t have a calm her mind before sleeping. Sleep deprivation is a problem for many people, especially since the beginning of the pandemic.

Anjana shared, “I’ve recently begun making sure that I prioritize the process of “unwinding” before bed. I do things I love that make me feel more at peace; breathing exercises, light reading, a dash of lavender essence and some prayers & positive affirmations. Prioritizing my mental health in this way has helped me immensely; while the process of unwinding is not always perfect, I find myself calmer than I was without it!”

Anjana’s whimsical poem reminds us the importance of sleep and self-care, especially when it comes to maintaining our mental well-being💛🙏🏽

Meet Marco Perri, the author of ‘Attaining Fulfillment: 8 Pillars to live by.’

“To be fulfilled is a fate that too few people experience. This sensation of being at peace with your own existence and accepting of the realities of life, despite their harshness, is liberating. I sought to create a rough outline that a person can follow to get closer to fulfillment. My hope is that you can harness these words and find the motivation to move yourself forward.”
- Marco Perri, on his book.

As an avid advocate of Mental Health, he has launched community initiatives aimed at raising awareness for this relevant cause, and assuring people that they are not alone. He is determined to be a voice for the voiceless, and ensure everyone knows that there are people out there who want to listen to you, and want you to get better🙏🏽.
