Weakness

So recently I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. This is a very new experience for me, but I knew I needed a little external motivation. Going to the gym five days a week and actually exercising while I'm there has proven to give me a feeling of accomplishment. I'm almost 2 weeks into the process and still enjoying it every day. However, today had to be the most challenging day yet. After a weekend that was just not long enough and waking up not feeling my best this morning I managed to push through and still went to the gym. Mentally my head was not at the gym it was... who knows where else. And being as though I wasn't mentally focused on making my body do what it should do, today proved to be the most difficult day yet. I had to tell myself that "regardless of how it feels I can complete this work out" more times than I've ever had to tell myself this on previous days. It almost felt like I was afraid to keep going. Which was a shock to me because I know I want the results but for some reason the process was very frightening to me today. Somewhere deep down I knew that if I allowed myself to quit or take it easy today I would end up where I always have in the past, quitting! And this go around I refuse to quit regardless of how weak I feel regardless of how frightened, I am determined to keep pushing. I completed today's session and finished up my cardio I can't say it got easier, but I am proud of myself and I believe that is a big enough payoff for today. 
With that said I would like to encourage you all to keep going even when you feel defeated to keep pushing even when you feel weak. We are stronger than we think, we need to change I thoughts to align with our new reality. Just in case no one has told you  that they believe in you today, please remember that I do! 

Be Blessed

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...
