happy best day of the week, MHM!

Sorry for being absent for the past two weeks- I had family visiting and was focused on being present .. then I got the flu. The flu knocked me on my ass and caused a huge set back for myself and care. I felt like I was in such a good place mentally and physically to being sick in bed for a week, not taking my medication and vitamins, having no energy and being a MESS. I am having such a hard time restarting and getting back to my best self so I finally made a plan. Tune in to this episode to find out how I plan to tackle this setback.

Happy best day of the week!

Happy best day of the week!!

I have been so incredibly anxious lately and it has affected my sleep immensely. Either I struggle to fall asleep or I wake up at 2 am every night for hours on end. Typically I go on my phone when I am anxiously struggling to sleep but I have experimented with a few new healthy mind distractions this week. In this episode talk about my favorites, what worked for me and what hasn't worked.

Happy BEST day of the week!!!!! MHM!!!! <3

I posted a photo recently (follow @mentalhealthmondaypod on instagram) and someone commented on the fact that I have sticky notes in my mirrors which got me thinking about the sticky notes I have ALL over my house that say REST. Rest of course can mean to relax, take breaks, time for yourself, etc. which is a great reminder for all. BUT rest is also a basic distress tolerance skill acronym. In this episode I explain what it means and how to practice it.

Happy best day of the week, mental health monday and happy new year! For most of my life when the new year began, I would make an endless list of unattainable goals that would leave me feeling like a failure each year. 2 years ago I did away with goals and started making vision boards! In this episode I talk about why I feel so connected to vision boards vs goals, how making a board can be beneficial to you, how to make one and what is on mine:)
