You are not alone, and do not have to deal with what you're going through alone, so here are some helpful mental health resources in Baltimore for you to utilize. #MentalHealth #baltimore #mentalhealthresource #resources #wellbeing

Here are 6 ways you can take care of your mental health! Although some things may be easier said than done, making an effort is the first step! Let us know if you plan to or have tried any of these tips. #Tips #MentalHealth #wellbeing

There is a common stigma around mental health that taking care of it and going to therapy is for "crazy people." But that's not true! Everyone can and should make an effort to take care of their mental health because it impacts everyone and how you navigate life, so don't forget to take care of yourself! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #Selfcare

Don't miss out on the Bromo Arts Walk on May 15th, it's going to be great!! #BromoArtWalk #Art #Reminder #artistsoninstagram #may15th #artistic

MRI wishes you all a happy Mental Health Awareness Month! This month, we'll be posting resources, tips, and facts about mental health and how to stay on top of keeping a stable and healthy mental health, so stay tuned! #mentalhealthawareness #mental #mind #awareness #wellbeing

Our last creative tip before spring break ends is to not compare your art and/or your process to others. Your art is authentically yours, so be proud of whatever you create! #CreativeTip #Create #tip #MediaRhythmInstitute

Today's creative tip is to try out brain dumps! Brain dumps can help you visually see all the ideas you have in your head to better organize what you want to do. Because of that, it can help you start your project sooner as well! #Braindump #CreativeTip #Tip #MediaRhythmInstitute

Today's creative tip is to embrace your curiosity. Curiosity and new ideas are at the core of creativity. Oftentimes, when our mind wanders, our first instinct is to snap out of it. Instead, try to keep going, and write down where your mind works and put those ideas into your next work. #Curiosity #Create #Tips #MediaRhythmInstitute

This spring break, every other day, we're going to be providing you with some creative tips to remember. Today, fight the fear of failure. Stop worrying so much about messing up or failing, and instead, focus on your art and what you love creating! #Tips #CreativeTips #Artist #MediaRhythmInstitute

Use this spring break not only to rest but also to foster your creativity! Breaks are a great time to focus on your creative side, and MRI is giving you some ways to stay creative! Let us know if you do any of these things and how it went! #SpringBreak #Creativity #MediaRhythmInstitute #Artist #Create
