A lot of our work with Sutra.co is about supporting online learning groups that invite meaningful connection and conversation. The heart of what I think about the most is how do you cultivate deeper levels of awareness at scale.
For me, much of mental health revolves around being aware of my mental, emotional, and embodied experience, and having the capacity to navigate that with intelligence. It's about having a healthy relationship with whatever comes up for me and having the tools to self regulate.
Tools might include meditation, yoga, or some other kind of awareness based and embodied practice.
Personally, I have a daily yoga and meditation practice that helps me get into a good place mentally no matter what comes up with my entrepreneurial journey.
Mental health support needs to extend beyond personal lives. Workplaces should prioritize employee well-being by offering mental health resources, encouraging breaks, and fostering a culture of open communication about mental health challenges. Normalization is key to removing the stigma and encouraging people to seek help if needed.
Mental health support goes beyond professional help. It's about having a supportive network of friends, family, or even online communities where you feel understood and accepted. Knowing you're not alone and having a safe space to share your struggles can be incredibly empowering.
Mental health support shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all approach. It means having access to personalized care plans, whether it's therapy, medication, or stress management techniques. Ideally, it also encompasses preventative measures like mindfulness practices and building healthy coping mechanisms.
To me, mental health support means having someone who really listens and understands what you’re going through. I’ve had times when I felt totally alone, and just talking things out with a friend or counselor made a huge difference. It’s comforting to know there’s someone who cares and can help you find your way through tough moments.
Mental health support is about creating a toolbox. Having access to things like mindfulness exercises, coping mechanisms, or even apps that can help manage stress or anxiety. The right tools can empower me to take charge of my own mental well-being.

with the way every second person is flinging the word ANXIETY around these days... i feel its become more of a mental problem than ever before... people need to figure out that its a deficiency caused due to their life style more than anything else.
