I started a jewelry line called “Steeling Time Pieces” because (1) the jewelry is stainless steel and (2) it’s a reminder to steal a few of minutes of time to check your mental health. The jewelry set is centered around the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique and the five steps are engraved on the bracelet charms. While each piece can be worn and used independently, the idea is to have the three piece set of bracelet, necklace and ring. The ring can be used as a tool to help with breathing exercises and the pendants store a removable lava rock (which is thought to have its own grounding powers) and can be used with lavender essential oils for all day soothing smells.There are so many stigmas around mental health and I wanted to create something practical that serves a purpose but also beautiful and can be worn everyday. Short term, I want people to start giving mental health the same importance as physical health. You see your PCP, you see your dentist...you should also see a therapist. Long term goal I want to work to remove the negative connotations around mental health. Regardless of the degree, EVERYONE has moments of stress or anxiety where they need a reminder to be grounded and remain in the moment.I created a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to complete manufacturing of the jewelry and not surprisingly...I only have 5 backers. Honestly I’m ok with making a few handmade bracelets and sharing them as gifts but the thought of being able to help people on a larger scale gives me a sense of purpose. Even if Steeling Time Pieces doesn’t become an actual thing, I hope that I’m at least getting the conversation started and am bringing awareness to mental health and can at least help one person.Learn more about Steeling Time Pieces: https://ift.tt/39vfuaA see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
