31 Ways You Can Take Care of Your Mental Health

Take a moment and breathe. Close your eyes and think about the last time you put yourself first. Think about the last time you spent an entire day focusing on yourself and nothing else. Think about the last time you were stress and worry free. Got that moment in your minds eye? If so, I want you to hold onto that moment and think about how you felt. How do you feel now that you are reflecting back on that moment?

If you feel relieved, less stress, and at peace with that moment chances are you really were putting yourself first. That’s a good feeling to have and I encourage you all to embrace it more often. When we put ourselves first we are actually taking the time to focus on our overall health. This includes our physical, emotional, and mental health. Mental health is on the rise and honestly, it’s one of the biggest parts of our health that we are taking for granted.

Mental health has a negative stigma attached to it but it doesn’t have to. Yes, it is true that often times mental health refers to a mental illness of some sort. However, I’m here to tell you different. It’s important to acknowledge that mental illness is a part of one’s mental health, but it is also important to understand that mental health is not solely about mental illness. Mental health as a collective is the psychological well-being of an individual. This includes one’s psychological state in regards to emotions and behaviors.

So when you think back about the moment when you put yourself first, understand that you were not just putting yourself first but you were putting your mental health first. When we put our mental health first, or at least take the time to take care of our mental health, we are checking in with ourselves. When we check in with ourselves we are evaluating our current state of emotional, psychological, and behavioral presence, and resetting these three states to prepare for the next moment that is to come.

The Get Shit Done Today Bundle

by

Hi there!

So as of late I’ve learned something very important about myself. I suck at getting shit done. What does this mean? It means that I suck at completing most of the tasks that I need to complete in a day. Every day when I wake up in the morning I always make a mental checklist of what needs to get done for the day…

Mental Checklist Example:

  • Take Bubba to school
  • Feed the dog
  • Wash the car
  • Drop off donation clothes
  • Take out something for dinner
  • Clean house
  • Pick up Bubba from school
  • Cook dinner
  • Bathe Bubba
  • Bedtime!

…but the entire checklist never gets done. Yes, life gets in the way at times and things that were not expected or planned happen, but this is not why I never get through my entire mental checklist 98% of the time. [Read more…]

3 Disciplines Everyone Needs: Self-Love, Self-Worth, & Self-Control

by

“I believe that self-discipline is the definition of self-love.” – Will Smith

Who doesn’t love Will Smith!?!? I mean he’s funny, sweet, genuine in everything that he does (or so I like to believe), and he’s literally everyone’s personal Yoda. I watched this video of Will Smith the other day in which he was talking about self-discipline. Will Smith defines self-discipline as self-love.

As silly as this may or may not sound, I think there is a lot of truth to this. When we love ourselves, we treat ourselves with the upmost respect. That level of respect channels through our behaviors, our actions, our thoughts, and even our emotions. It channels through everything that we do. That love and respect that we have for ourselves colors us pretty and makes us a force to be reckoned with, but in a good way.

Who doesn’t want that kind of energy in their life? I know I most certainly do, and if you’re reading this post then I think it’s safe to assume that you do too.

So how do we channel this energy? Well, there are three ways we do this. Or should I say three types of disciplines that help us do this. Those three types of disciplines are through self-love, self-worth, and self-control. [Read more…]

Hello everybody!

How is the Spring season treating you so far? I’ve been having a huge struggle with my allegories this season. It almost seems like it’s never going to end. I’m constantly sneezing, my nose is constantly going back and forth with being so stuffy that I can’t breathe, to running so bad that I can’t go a second without blowing it. Not to mention that my eyes are always itching. Seriously they are always itching. To make matters worse, these symptoms seem to hit its peak during the nighttime. Which as you can imagine makes sleeping at night very hard for me. Needless to say, I’m riding the struggle bus this Spring season.

Also, what’s up with this weather!?! If you live in Colorado then you know that the weather has been more than unreliable. Three days of nice almost perfect weather and then out of nowhere snow. Seriously? I’m so over the snow it’s not even funny. Like Winter is over so please beautiful white snow go away. If you’re going to give me “bad weather” then at least rain! It can even hail I’ll be ok with that. Anything would be better than more snow. So please, snow go away!

Setting unfavorable weather aside, I want to share a little story with you guys. [Read more…]

Happy super late Easter!

Seriously I know I’m super late but I can explain, and I will explain in just a little bit. But first…
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday (if you celebrate Easter). My Easter, like most of my holiday celebrations, was ok. Nothing special happened. The night before I put together cute little Easter baskets for my niece and nephew. I also colored some eggs with my nephew (I actually don’t like this part of this tradition, I just think it’s so boring). Of course, my nephew made a point to remind me several times to hide the eggs to he can go and hunt for them, so that’s the first thing I did in the morning.

The day of Easter I had a quiet dinner with my family, played some video games with my older brother, and watched Jumanji. The 2017 Jumanji. If you have not seen that movie yet I’m telling you now, you are missing out! That movie is absolutely hilarious! I saw it in theatres on my birthday last year and absolutely loved it. So naturally when it came out on DVD, I made sure to get it.

And for those Jumanji fans out there who have yet to see the 2017 version…yes…it’s just as good as the original one :). However, we all know that there’s nothing like a classic!

So, here’s why I’m super late on wishing you all a Happy Easter, and why I have not been active on the blog lately. I’ve been out of touch with my life lately. What I mean by that is that I have been really sick these past two weeks.

I’ve been sick a lot lately but man, this round was just complete hell for me. I got sick with strep throat followed by a really nasty cough. So as a result of that I’ve been stuck in bed, in the house, all day every day trying to keep my faith alive. A lot of things happen to us when we are sick, or at least it does for me. Like I said, I lose touch with reality (to some extent) and for the most part I lose all sense of time and space. I can’t tell right from left or up from down. Hell, I could barely stand on my own two feet.

While I would usually embrace a sick day off, this time around I did not. And here’s why. [Read more…]
