Karena Dawn is the founder of Tone It Up and The Big Silence. She’s known as a wellness expert and writer. Dawn shared some mental health tips in a post on Instagram last month. She captioned it, “A mindset I wake up with every morning is… I have the choice to wake up and choose to have a good day, to have a day filled with love & light, kindness, fun.

Dawn loves to spend time outside. She shared this video of herself doing so on Instagram. Dawn captioned it, “That one day this so far this year where the sun came briefly shining through the cold, the snow, and the rain to show us the glimpse of beauty that all seasons have.

I’m here to tell you, you can. I know because I’ve been there and resilience is a superpower you hold.
