Good Health

If any of you practice good physical health routines, you're probably familiar with how uncomfortable it is in the beginning. Going to the gym or going on your first run is boring, painful, and your mind bombards you with ideas of a million things you'd rather do. Even worse is you don't see any results for a long time. But after a while you like it, and you naturally start incorporating other health practices into your life such as a better diet, less drinking, and more rest. Mental health is the exact same. If you try a mental health exercise just once, don't say to yourself now what? You must practice. The more you do the more you can do. Soon enough, everything you do will be in the pursuit of a better mental health lifestyle. What do you do to have good mental health?

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about how to build mental resilience in tough times. If this sounds useful to you, you can check out the video here:

Hold your ground

The world loves to test you. It will send the most destructive people your way to try to break you. Many times it will win. But many times, the only reason it wins is because you think you have to win. Fortunately, there comes a time when you realize that you don't need to get involved in other people's nonsense. When people come and try to stir trouble or disrupt your way of being, have the confidence in yourself to not get involved. You don't have to prove yourself or explain yourself to anyone. Does anyone do this?

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about breaking the stigma around going to therapy. If this sounds useful to you, you can check out the video here:

Practicing Presence

Living in the present moment is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves, yet it's something we constantly struggle with. Our minds either dwell on past mistakes or jump ahead and worry about the future. But neither regret nor anxiety serves us; they only rob us of the peace we can find right here and right now.

If you want help with this, notice when your mind wanders. Pay attention to when you're getting lost in thoughts about the past or future. Gently guide yourself back by focusing on your breath, your surroundings, or a simple task at hand.

This is something you can practice all the time, such as when you eat, when you walk, and when you speak to someone. The more you practice presence, the easier it becomes to stay in the space of peace. Try it for yourself and let me know how it goes. How will you practice staying in the present moment? Share your approach in the comments, and let’s support each other in living more mindfully.

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about 1 simple self-care tool for better mental health. If this sounds useful to you, you can check out the video here:

Motivational Monday- Not About Choice, but How We Cope

“Diabetes is not a choice, but how I live with it is.” - Brett Andreas

Diabetes isn't a choice, but how you cope and manage it is completely in your hands. Having a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, medication, if needed, and monitoring blood sugar levels can all improve someone's quality of life. The good news is that living with diabetes doesn't have to be a limitation, but rather an opportunity for you to make positive changes for your well-being.

The problem with overthinking

Overthinking often leads us into a spiral of unnecessary stress, taking something small and turning it into a full-blown problem. The more we dissect and analyze every situation, the more we invent issues that don’t even exist.

Next time you find yourself doing this, ask yourself: Is this thought helping or hurting me? If it’s creating more anxiety than clarity, it’s time to stop. Try distracting your mind with something productive. Whether it's going for a walk, practicing a hobby, or engaging in a conversation, refocusing your energy will help prevent overanalysis.

I can't emphasize enough the value of mental health videos to help with this ability. But everyone has their own path. How do you stop your mind from overanalyzing? Share a tip that works for you and let’s build a toolkit to help each other live with more clarity and ease.

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about 3 tips to help manage anxiety in the moment. If this sounds relevant to you, you can check out the video here:
