   Finding Time To Heal and Grieve

   Coping with death is hard. There is no easy way to do it. Prior to 2015, I had a hard time even talking about death with people. I did not know how to talk to someone who had lost a loved one. Then, between 2015 and 2017 I lost over 10 people. Today is not about my loss though. My guest today is Linda Henderson. At the age of 27, her pregnant daughter Andrea was the passenger in a car. This car was stopped at a light when a truck driver struck them at full speed, propelling them into the intersection where they were then t-boned by another vehicle. Both passengers and the unborn child passed away. This became a high profile news story. After 3 years of court trials, the driver was found innocent on all charges due to technicality from improper paper filing. My friend Linda was not able to fully grieve until the trial was over, and even when it was over, there was no peace. How do you heal from that?  How do you grieve? That is what today’s episode is about. We are all healing from something. We all will grieve. Linda’s story can shed light on this important part of living so that we can continue to find happiness, even in our deepest times of sorrow. For those grieving and would like to find a support group, I recommend visiting the website, Grief Speaks.

   How To Create Amazing Mental Health Hygiene Routines

   Have you ever considered the importance of hygiene for your mind, just as you do for your body? 🧠🚿 We've all established routines to care for our physical health, be it brushing our teeth, taking showers, or washing hands before meals. These habits are crucial to prevent the spread of diseases and maintain our well-being. But, how many of us have established routines for our mental health? 🤔 Maintaining a hygiene routine for mental health doesn't mean we won't need professional help or therapy from time to time. Instead, it means fostering resilience against life's adversities and responding to challenging situations in a way that truly reflects our intentions and character. 💪🏻💫 In the latest episode of the Overcome and Become podcast, I discuss the 5 Pillars of a Robust Mental Health Hygiene routine. These pillars are integral to creating a healthy and balanced mental state. They include Mindfulness, Sleep, Diet, Movement, and Community. 🧘♀️💤🥗🏃♀️👫 By listening to this episode, you'll gain actionable insights into establishing your own mental health hygiene routines, tailored to your lifestyle and preferences. You'll walk away with a toolkit of habits and behaviours that can make a real difference to your mental health. 🛠️✨ So, are you ready to prioritize your mental health just as much as your physical health? What's one change you are going to make today to improve your mental well-being? 💭🌈 Follow James Keddington and Better Me Nation Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/keddington/ (https://www.facebook.com/keddington/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keddington/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/keddington/) Better Me Nation Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/abettermenation (https://www.facebook.com/groups/abettermenation) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettermenation/ (https://www.instagram.com/bettermenation/) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jamesthehealthcoach (https://www.tiktok.com/@jamesthehealthcoach) Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspw05YUU1UM3wR08I9ULbA (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspw05YUU1UM3wR08I9ULbA) Resources: Free: 10 Power Habits of Health and Happy People: https://www.bettermenation.com/free-booklet-improve-every-area-of-health/ (https://www.bettermenation.com/free-booklet-improve-every-area-of-health/)
