Mental Health Day kind of snuck up on me!

I write about it so often, from different subjects and viewpoints that I thought I’d share some of the ones which seemed to have the most impact on people!
In a nutshell, what can I say to help you?
The things that had the BIGGEST impact on my own mental health were teaching myself to like myself, suspending judgment, practicing speaking kindly instead of cruelly to myself, and allowing this whole set of tools to rewire my brain!
I know it sounds very innocuous, but HOW we see ourselves and speak to ourselves is foundational to developing more tools, for how quickly or how slowly we heal and grow, how we see the possible solutions, and how we implement them long-term.

Rewiring our brains is possible, and the impact it has on our mental, emotional, and even physical health is astounding!
Yes, it’s hard to do, for the old habits cling so strongly and have a hard time letting go. The best way is to learn new thoughts and keep trying to use those, for simply trying to suppress the old ways is practically useless without something new to replace them!
Here’s my list of post I think are a good place to start:
- How social myths contribute to struggling mental health issues
- Brain Rewiring
- Making a change… “How do I take that first step?”
- As we practice being gentle and kind with ourselves, we actually help to speed the process of helping our lives become more positive!
- Purge by fire… could this help you?
- Nothing is set in stone! “What have I got to lose?”
- Why we’re so attracted to people who end up abusing us
- Do we need to “Floor our Gas Pedal” all the time? “Consciously Uncoupling” from the “Grind Culture”.
- Setting “Boundaries with consequences”
- 10 Steps to Owning Our Happiness
- Affirmation: Today is a new day! I can do this!
- Teaching ourselves to like, even to love ourselves
- By changing our inner dialogue, we change EVERYTHING!
- Challenge: When a negative thought enters your mind, think three positive ones. Train yourself to flip the script!
- An answer to dealing with the Inner Critic!
- A new you! Is this possible?
- Start today, start tomorrow, just start!

Speaking kindly to oneself is essential. If one needs three nice things to be said to just come even with one bad thing that is said, then there is no possible way to do that if you are not speaking kindly to yourself. This is something that I keep trying to impress on Child #3, but so far it’s falling on deaf ears. 😔

Keep going! It’s amazing what seeps through even the thickest walls of resistance! There will be resistance, because you’re mom, and you’re “supposed” to love them no matter what!
As the more experienced person you know that’s not always true, but children have those expectations. Kept doing what you’re doing! If only a fraction of what you say enters their heart, you will have made a difference.
Child 3 will learn eventually that it’s also up to each of us to allow our hearts to open up to healing, even if it is scary!
