Did you know that the way you talk to yourself can dramatically impact your mental health? 🧠💬

If you’re constantly saying "I am sad," "I am angry," or "I have panic attacks," you’re taking ownership of those feelings—and that can make them feel permanent. But here’s the truth: You are NOT your emotions.

Instead of saying "I am sad," try "I am experiencing sadness."

Instead of saying "I am angry," try "I am experiencing anger."

This small shift helps you disidentify from these feelings, making it easier to move through them without letting them control you. 🌟

Watch the full video by clicking on one of the links below to learn how to reframe your thoughts and start seeing your feelings as temporary experiences, not your identity.

What story are you telling yourself today? If your inner dialogue is filled with doubt or negativity, your mind will start to believe it. Flip the script. Try this: write down one limiting belief you’ve been repeating, then rewrite it into something empowering. For example, change “I’ll never get it right” to “I’m learning and growing every day.” Your thoughts shape your reality, so speak to yourself like someone you believe in.

What’s one positive thing you’re telling yourself today

Do you constantly replay the past or obsess over the future, imagining what could have been or might be? 😔

You’re not alone… but there’s a powerful mindset shift that can bring you peace, starting today.

💭 Instead of wishing the past away, ask:

👉 What did I learn?

And instead of obsessing over the future, ask:

👉 Why do I want that?

This kind of intentional reflection helps you understand your thoughts instead of getting trapped in them. And the more you do it, the more present, calm, and clear-minded you become.

The past only holds power over you if you keep replaying it. When old regrets or painful memories arise, ground yourself in the present. Take a deep breath, notice your surroundings, and engage in something that anchors you, like journaling, movement, or mindfulness. The more you focus on now, the less control the past has over you.

What’s one simple way you stay present when the past creeps in?

Ever feel panic creeping in, and your mind starts spinning out of control? 😵‍💫 Instead of letting anxiety take over, there’s a simple, science-backed trick that can instantly bring you back to the present moment.

💡 Here’s how it works:

✅ Pick any object—something in your pocket or nearby.

✅ Focus on every detail—its shape, texture, color, even how it might smell or taste.

✅ Give it 100% of your attention, and watch as your anxious thoughts lose their grip.

The best part? The more you practice, the easier it gets—even in stressful situations like job interviews, first dates, or crowded places.

What's something you do that helps you overcome anxious thinking?

I've got a telehealth appointment tomorrow with my doctor to go over my lab results. They're pretty bad. She's gonna be cross that I haven't found an Endo yet. I'm on a really high dose of insulin. It's not helping. But it's making me gain weight really fast. It's kinda scary.

But I'm gonna talk to her about getting me a proper rescue inhaler. I've got dulera but that's just twice per day. When I go up and down the stairs or walk for more than 5 minutes I can't catch my breath.

I'm gonna get a refill of my Norco. I've been trying to contact my previous back surgeon but they haven't responded to my 2 emails and phone calls. As long as I am making an attempt, my doctor will refill my meds. I've only been taking maybe 5 per week. I'm trying to use my tramadol more often. I'm not addicted. And I intend on staying that way.

My doctor is concerned about my lymphedema and high blood pressure. I told her how my cardiologist is handling it and she's kinda pissed. The new meds aren't working. And I had a low symptoms day on Tuesday so my cardiologist thinks everything is fine. And even after emailing her pictures of my pitting lymphedema, I haven't heard back.

I'm so frustrated. And my anxiety is making me sick. I'll talk to my doctor about how bad my adjustment disorder is. Maybe she'll have an idea. She's a good doctor.
