mental health

So many apps to choose from now. I thought I'd share some of my favorites & what I like specifically about each one so you can can find the right one--for YOU.

Some confuse solitude with being lonely. But this is different. It's choosing to spend time getting to know yourself--almost as you would a friend.

This morning on social media, I saw a friend post a status saying, 'The person that looks out for everybody is always alone when they need somebody.' I'm here to tell you, you're not as alone as you think you are!

I finally just flung on my walking shoes, grabbed my ear buds, and out the door I went. It took about seven minutes before I started to feel my mood lighten.

As challenging as it is, remaining hopeful in the face of truly discouraging seasons, we are doing our part to counter fear, hatred, and despair.

Get out and connect in the physical world--socially-distancing, of course. Call a friend. Take a walk. Prepare a meal. Get back into your body.

We don't have to change our mind or pretend to agree. But, if we never listen to new information, how can we know where we actually stand on on a topic?

Very often, small things can have a huge impact. Next time you feel plagued with a bad day, check a few of these off of your to-do list.

I've noticed that the times I'm focusing on getting a bit of exercise and eating a primarily healthful diet, my mood and mental state seem greatly improved.

The workplace is changing and will continue to do so after quarantine. Aggression is out. Assertiveness is in. What's the difference?

As hard as it feels in those moments, the best thing you can do is to take action, with intent, to start to get out of that emotional funk so you can move on.

When the human world feels extra intense, I am sure it's the "green cathedral" that helps me stay as peaceful as possible.
