Exploring, Megan Thee Stallion’s Self-Care Journey Sparks Songwriting Inspiration

Megan Thee Stallion has turned her focus on mental and physical health into a source of artistic inspiration, creating her best work yet. After the 2020 incident involving Tory Lanez, the Houston rapper took time away to heal. Now, in her recent Women’s Health cover story (April 10), she shares how self-care practices have enhanced her creativity and fueled her comeback.

Therapy and Self-Awareness as First Steps

The first step in her healing journey was therapy, which helped her process and overcome emotional struggles. “It took me a while to acknowledge that I was depressed,” Megan revealed. “But once I started talking to a therapist, I was able to be truthful with myself.” Therapy helped her face her feelings head-on, sparking a newfound commitment to personal wellness.

Disconnecting from Social Media and Finding Focus

To protect her mental health, Megan removed social media from her phone to avoid negative comments and endless scrolling. She then redirected her energy into a structured workout routine, saying, “Working on myself made me get into working out because I needed to focus my energy somewhere else.” She also made dietary adjustments, opting for healthier choices and replacing her favorite brown liquor with a low-sugar tequila alternative.

Journaling: Unlocking Deeper Creativity

One of Megan’s most impactful changes was adopting a journaling habit. Writing down her thoughts has deepened her mind-body connection, leading to more introspective lyrics. “Journaling helped me move away from using hate language toward myself,” she explained, adding that it has inspired “a more positive approach” to self-talk and self-expression in her music.

A New Album of Rebirth

Megan’s journey has culminated in a new album, which she describes as an “album about rebirth.” During an Instagram Live, she shared that she’s exploring different styles, from intense rap verses to upbeat, feel-good tracks. With a growing collection of songs, she’s even considering an A side and B side to satisfy fans.

What’s Next for Megan?

Could this next album mark a new era for Megan Thee Stallion? As she channels her wellness journey into her music, fans can anticipate a powerful blend of introspection and confidence that promises to inspire listeners. How will Megan’s focus on self-care influence her artistry going forward?
