Creator's Key Takeaways

if you're going through a spare where you're having a really hard time don't be thinking oh no one cares no one would listen to me

you really need to find your person because when you're having a low day you you do need someone to talk to

you need to have a reason why you are away from home now for me it's the travel and the just the whole experience of being on cruise ships

it is very important that if you are having a hard time or you're having an issue you need to speak up

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Communicate your feelings clearly to others as people are not mind readers.

✓Make an effort to get off the ship for fresh air and a change of scenery.

✓Prioritize social connections to build a support system of 'second family'.

✓Maintain physical health through exercise and a balanced diet.

✓Identify your 'why' to stay motivated during difficult shifts.

✓Ensure you are getting enough sleep and avoiding burnout from socializing.

Feeling low or depressed due to the lifestyle change — Be proactive with self-care, communicate your needs, and don't be afraid to use onboard resources like HR or counselors.
