Things I learned about myself this week




Isn't if "funny" how when we decide to do something, accomplish something new or challenging any and everything possible seems to get into the way? You know like when you decide to start going to bed earlier and suddenly the network pushes your favorite show back an hour or when you decide to start eating cleaner or healthier and your BAM your favorite restaurant rolls out a new dessert menu? Well maybe it's just me... This week I decided to begin a DVD workout series that calls for 6 days of exercise and one rest day per week no problem right? Just last week I went to the gym 5 days with no problem. Yea, guess who was sick 2 days this week??? Yours truly!Here's what I am choosing to take away from this experience:
 1. Stop expecting a bad or challenging outcome. If I sincerely believe that what we hold in our hearts is what creates the reality that we live in, then I need influence my heart to always expect a good outcome in this area too. 2. Stop turning setbacks into catastrophes! News flash (to myself) no one is perfect, learn from it and move on. 3. Self-evaluation is great, but if you use the information you gained from the evaluation to as an excuse not to keep moving STOP IT and refer back to #2.
 This week I guess I needed to remind myself that I am indeed on a journey and the road I am on is an unfamiliar one so stop rushing, stop comparing and enjoy the scenery on this journey, my journey :)

Silent Killer

From my heart... Being a mental health professional I hear people talk about depression and mental illness all day everyday. I read the statistics and reports about the "system" failing individuals quite frequently, But, when tragedy hits close to home it can be a LOUD  wake-up call! It's hard for me to understand the fact that mental illness is still a taboo thing. I personally don't understand why it's not a more discussed topic, why there aren't enough resources and access to treatment. Here in the US we have option after option for physical healthcare. If you don't like a physician for whatever reason all you have to do is walk across the hall or drive across the street and there are at least 10 more for the choosing. Why aren't there just as many easy options for mental healthcare treatment?  These day there is a checklist for "warning signs" for every ailment out there and I want to be sure that depression warning signs are top of mind...
