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.

12. Practicing the R.E.S.T Strategy
*Rated Explicit due to the use of "fuck"*
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! Every year I feel the post holiday blues but this is the year I am doing something about it. I've always dreamed of having a holiday like the ones I see in movies or on social media with the family all together in one place, peace, love and relaxation- something I'll never quite have with my divorced parents, hectic schedule and half my family living in another state. I build up a narrative in my head and I am always let down. This year I am going back to the root and finding ways to work through and work with these emotions. Tune in for some tips
