This year’s Mental Health Awareness month theme is improving mental health through improving your physical health so today I’m getting a spinach & orange smoothie in while I finish my reading for the day

I am not a fan of long-ass captions but hey, I couldn’t care less for #MentalHealthAwareness so swipe left to have a peak at my life. Too early for puns? Lol #4mind4body (at Mt. Nalayag) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3d4-cPjiQB/?igshid=350vmpt0vl0o

Repost from @fitandfaithfulliving May-Mental Health Month #4Mind4Body Approximately one in five adults in the United States, 43.8 million experience a mental illness in a given year and approximately one in five youth aged 13–18 experience a severe mental health disorder at some point during their lifetime. Mental illness is not prejudiced; as mental health disorders affect men and women of all ages, races and social classes. Since 1949, the month of May has been observed as Mental Health Month in the United States and we will join the spotlight to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and to stop the stigma associated with mental health disorders. • Since the start of COVID19 individuals are experiencing multiple forms of mental illness. We have managed to support many youth and families dealing with different forms of anxiety and depression through coaching and resources fir immediate help. We must take care of our minds just as much as we take care of our bodies. Studies have shown that individuals who have chronic medical illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure or autoimmune disorders have a higher likelihood of being diagnosed with a mental health disorder such as depression or anxiety. #4Mind4Body is encouraging individuals to focus on the following healthy aspects of their daily lives in order to promote healthy habit changes and mental wellness: * Maintain uninterrupted sleep for 8 every night. * Avoid sugars, greasy foods, salts, processed foods and saturated fats. * Consume more whole grains, greens, unprocessed foods, & lean meats * Eat 2-3 well-balanced meals per day. * Drink at least 3 liters of water per day. * Consume natural probiotics such as yogurt, miso & kefir * Engage in a physical for at least 30 minutes a day. * Stay away from toxic thoughts, toxic people, & toxic conversations. * Engage in positive thoughts & conversations. * Practice mindfulness/meditation daily. * Learn how to manage your stress. * Stay present in your daily relationships. * Avoid “screen time” and engage in more “in person time”. * Visit your doctor for preventative health * Take time for yourself every day @psych_today #WeAreFFL #mentalhealthawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1MafnJLXN/?igshid=9m47qfpr0jbw

💚As May is quickly on it’s way out, with it goes 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, but we should all keep it front & center always. Since 1949, May has been observed as 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. In 1990. US Congress established the first full week to be 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙒𝙚𝙚𝙠. These are to help raise awareness as to the importance of mental health, & most importantly- to stop the stigma surrounding it.💚 😶 💔I am no stranger to mental illness- specifically, depression & anxiety, panic attacks & A.D.D. I’ve also suffered from bulimia & (still) body dysmorphic disorder, or BDD. I have spent most of my life battling drug addiction, finally getting clean Jan 27, 2016 after many failed attempts. Even when I got clean, things weren’t all puppies and rainbows. The worst time in my life came exactly 3 months before this picture was taken, when my husband (who I was with for almost 14 years) passed away unexpectedly. I was completely devastated & didn’t think that I would ever make it through the pain. Not wanting to leave my children with no parents is what kept me alive. I had a few really good friends who were in the halfway house w/me who truly helped me get through it. The point is that I found it is so important to be able to talk openly with someone, anyone. 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 is one of the main reasons I tell you all the time that I am always here for you guys anytime you need. (If you want to reach out but don’t know where to start, just message me with “hi” or “what’s up” & we can go from there. I’m not a psychiatrist or anything, andI’m not pretending to be, I’m just a friend willing to listen. If you or someone you know need help, you can reach out to NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness), MHA (Mental Health America), National Institute of Mental Health or various other agencies. Most important is not to keep quiet-don’t suffer in silence. Always remember that I love you.💔 😶 #breakthestigma #4mind4body #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthmatters #dontsufferinsilence #mindyourhealth #liveyourlife #cleanandsober #soberlife #beautyful #gratefulheart #beautybloggerlife (at Newark, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwSVWcpPOu/?igshid=1l4zntg44l0hd

May is the Month of Mental Health Awareness and we all could use a little more health. Everybody feels blue from time to time but recognizing chronic illnesses is part of the game too. I have to recognize that I have a severe anxiety of death. Almost every night I get anxious of death in general but mostly my 15 year old dog and my parents. In part death is innevitable for all but the thought that it could happen soon for example to Testament my dog is a daily anxiety to me. Anxiety is the (sometimes not neccesary) fear of the future and its uncertainties. Have you experience this before? •••• This year’s campaign #4Mind4Body is encouraging individuals around the country to focus on the following healthy aspects of their daily lives in order to promote mental wellness: •Maintain uninterrupted sleep for 8 hours each night. •Avoid sugars, greasy foods, salts, processed foods and saturated fats. •Consume more whole grains, greens, unprocessed foods, lean meats and unsaturated fats. •Eat 2-3 well-balanced meals per day. •Drink at least 3 liters of water per day. •Consume natural probiotics such as yogurt, miso, sauerkraut, kefir, and kimchi. •Engage in a physical for at least 30 minutes a day. •Stay away from toxic thoughts, toxic people, and toxic conversations. •Engage in positive thoughts and conversations. •Practice mindfulness or meditation on a daily basis. •Learn how to manage your stress. •Stay present in your daily relationships. •Avoid “screen time” and engage in more “in person time”. •Visit your doctor for preventative health and cancer screenings. •Take time for yourself every day.
