Cheryl Burke Adds Obvious Choice To List Of Mental Health Resources

In a new video posted to her Instagram page, she shared a short dance routine dressed in a dark plum ensemble of tight-fitting pants and a top with a crop gray hoodie. She started the clip by saying, "So another one of my resources, obviously when it comes to my mental health, is dancing." 

She then demonstrated the steps very slowly while saying the instructions before actually dancing it out in proper time, first facing the camera and backing it the second. The 38-year-old wrote in the caption:

"Another one of my resources that has honestly saved my life is… #DANCE, so I decided to create dance tutorials for all of YOU!"

She encouraged her followers to take control of their mental health and to prioritize self-care. "It's all about evolving and learning, and that has been something I've been very excited to do lately," she said. "The only person that can fill your cup up is you." She wrote:

The model's journey toward mental wellness and well-being is nothing short of inspiring, and as reported by The Blast, it seems she might have succeeded in getting her mind right.

After news of her ex-husband, Matthew Lawrence moving on to a new relationship went public, the star displayed pictures of herself smiling and looking happy while posing on a scooter. In her caption, she wrote:

"If I could describe how I feel in one word, I honestly couldn't. Each day presents its bliss but also its challenges."

She explained that her journey helped her connect with her true essence and purpose and was excited to continue discovering more about herself. Burke declared that she was proud to say that she was alone but not lonely and that she was proud of herself for coming through her recent experiences unscathed.

She pointed out that initially, she would have jumped into a new relationship or numbed the pain with partying and drinking. However, she decided to choose a clearer and more conscious path, adding that she filled in a gratitude journal each night before bed and was surprised to find herself eager for the next morning.

This new approach has helped her connect with her true essence and purpose.
