The actress added that a person should choose the right thing even if it is difficult to do so. Even if the benefits are not immediately apparent, doing what is right is beneficial in the long run.

“Sharing a very important lesson that my psychiatrist taught me during our last session: Mental health is about always doing the right thing. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

“I agreed with her completely when she told me this because this is exactly how I’ve been operating ever since I found out about my mental health condition. Based on my personal experience, always doing the right thing brings peace and clarity to my life. It isn’t always easy but it is definitely always worth it.

“Doing the right thing may not always be easy because sometimes, it is a hard decision to make. Sometimes, doing the right thing doesn’t feel good which is why most people find it hard to do. But what I realized and learned over time is that even when it’s hard, doing the right thing always has its rewards. You may not see or experience the benefits immediately but in time, you will see that if you just keep doing the right thing without complaints, the Universe will truly appreciate your efforts and guide you in your journey accordingly.
