Fab Friday Flashback: Making your mental health a priority

To celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month, I thought it would be fitting to revisit this blog post from 2016. I was having a conversation yesterday with my trusted advisor who reminded me of all my mental health, psychology and counseling education, training and experience as a Behavioral Clinician and designations as a Qualified Mental Health Professional and Certified Christian Counselor. She said that I should start offering coaching/consulting services in addition to my writing about relationships and mental health. If you’re interested in working with me one-on-one or would like me to speak at your group or event, let’s talk about how I can help you. Now, let’s flashback to the Summer of 2016 …

We’ve reached the unofficial start of Summer and everyone is talking about getting swimsuit ready, but what about your brain health and mental health?

You may be asking, “Senée, what does mental health have to do with relationships and recovery?” It has everything to do with them.

When your brain is healthy, your body functions properly, your relationships are healthier and you’re more capable of achieving recovery.

“People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their emotions and their behavior,” explained HelpGuide.org. “They are able to handle life’s challenges, build strong relationships and recover from setbacks. But just as it requires effort to build or maintain physical health, so it is with mental and emotional health.”

One major component of good mental health is resiliency. The Mayo Clinic described it as “being able to adapt to life’s misfortunes and setbacks … Resilience won’t make your problems go away — but resilience can give you the ability to see past them, find enjoyment in life and better handle stress.”

I mentioned in a previous post that I’ve recently lost 60+ pounds. While I’ve been focusing on improving my health, the weight loss has been effortless and a great side effect. However, I’ve made my mental health a priority working with a trusted advisor on life issues, fasting and praying weekly with a group in addition to attending church regularly and praying daily (all day, every day — it’s an ongoing conversation with God that I believe enhances my relationship with my Higher Power).

The Apostle Paul gave us some great advice for how to tame our minds. “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them],” Philippians 4:6-8 AMP

In addition to this advice, The University of Michigan offers these suggestions for improving your mental health:

Value yourself — Treat yourself with kindness and respect, and avoid self-criticism. Make time for your hobbies and favorite projects, or broaden your horizons.
Take care of your body — Taking care of yourself physically can improve your mental health.
Surround yourself with good people — People with strong family or social connections are generally healthier than those who lack a support network. Make plans with supportive family members and friends, or seek out activities where you can meet new people.
Give of yourself — Volunteer your time and energy to help someone else. You’ll feel good about doing something tangible to help someone in need — and it’s a great way to meet new people.
Learn how to deal with stress — Like it or not, stress is a part of life. Practice good coping skills —exercise, take a nature walk, play with your pet or try journal writing as a stress reducer. Also, remember to smile and see the humor in life. Research shows that laughter can boost your immune system, ease pain, relax your body and reduce stress.
Quiet your mind — Relaxation exercises and prayer can improve your state of mind and outlook on life. In fact, research shows that meditation may help you feel calm and enhance the effects of therapy.
Set realistic goals — Decide what you want to achieve and write down the steps you need to realize your goals. Aim high, but be realistic and don’t over-schedule. You’ll enjoy a tremendous sense of accomplishment and self-worth as you progress toward your goal.
Break up the monotony — Although our routines make us more efficient and enhance our feelings of security and safety, a little change of pace can perk up a tedious schedule.
Avoid alcohol and other drugs — Keep alcohol use to a minimum and avoid other drugs. Sometimes people use alcohol and other drugs to “self-medicate” but in reality, alcohol and other drugs only aggravate problems.
Get help when you need it — Seeking help is a sign of strength — not a weakness. And it is important to remember that treatment is effective. People who get appropriate care can recover from mental illness and substance abuse disorders and lead full, rewarding lives.

In 2019, how are you improving your physical and mental health?

Know yourself: Who do you think you are?

When I was a little girl, I loved the song by Diana Ross, Do you know. The lyrics still sit with me:

Do you know where you’re going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?

So often, we really don’t know ourselves. We have no idea what we really want or who we are. I had coffee with a lady a few weeks ago. As we were discussing my first book and the plans I have for upcoming books, she asked me, “What is it you want for your life? Do you know the desires of your heart? Most people don’t, and that’s why they don’t get them.”

I do not have that problem! I know exactly what I want. And through the process of writing the books I’m working on, (the next one being released is The Princess Guide to Loving Yourself First which is now available for preorder on my website) I’m very clear on who I am and what I want in life.

Now don’t get me wrong, it didn’t happen overnight or all at once. I’ve been on this journey — intensely — for the past five years, but the majority of my growth has happened in the last several months. I’ve come to the conclusion that nothing outside ourselves changes us — not a person, not God, nothing and no one. This is a big change in thinking for me because I have spent the vast majority of my life waiting, wanting and longing for something or someone outside myself to rescue me, make me happy and change my life for the better.

I remember about a decade ago, I was working as a Web Copywriter for a large retail company after struggling with my freelance career to get a steady income. One of my friends I worked with drove me home after work one day. As we pulled up to the front entrance of the high rise where I was living, she said to me, “Look at what YOU did! You live in this beautiful place in this upscale neighborhood, and YOU made all this happen!” My response was, “I didn’t do it. God did it.” I was still looking outside myself, had no confidence in my ability to co-create anything and took no credit for my part in manifesting a dream I had since I was a little girl. (I seriously wanted to live in that building, in that neighborhood since I was a little girl.)

A friend of mine told me the other day, “You need to come out of the tower, Rapunzel!” A few days letter, my best friend said almost the exact same thing. They were right, but I know that the intense changes I’ve been going through — to the point that strangers are stopping and telling me how beautiful I am, and how I light up a room when I walk in, or people I know telling me how I’m glowing and my countenance has changed for the positive — have happened because of all the alone time I’ve been spending with myself. Not only have I gotten to know myself really well, but I’ve become a co-creator with my Higher Power/God/Creator/Source/Universe. I am divine. I have God within me. Therefore, I can be — and have been —a co-creator with God to manifest what I want in my life to help others and fulfill my mission. When I do the inside work, everything in my life changes for the better.

This is why I’m so excited to tell you about Dr. Sue Morter. She is a renowned international speaker and founder of the Morter Institute for Bio-Energetics, an organization committed to teaching individuals self-healing techniques and a new approach to life based on Quantum Science. Dr. Sue is the host of Healing Matrix on Gaia TV. She has also been featured in several documentary films, including The Opus, The Cure Is…, Discover the Gift, and Femme. She is also the author of The Energy Codes ®: A 7-Step System to Awaken Your Spirit, Heal Your Body, and Live Your Best Life.

The exciting part is that she’s inviting you to a FREE webinar where you will learn The 3 Secrets to Syncing Up Your Super Powers for Freedom, Flow & Fulfillment.

“A life of true fulfillment and freedom is possible … once you know who you truly are,” said Dr. Sue.

Her message really resonates with me because she’s talking about what I’m currently writing about in my books.

During this free webinar, you’ll learn how to:

Recognize the REAL you (Hint: It’s not who you think you are),
Break free from negative and limiting thoughts and live in an expanded state,
Tap the Universal flow of energy running through you,
Change the stories of your past opening you up to greater love and fulfillment,
Heal your life on every level — mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually,
Experience deeper and more fulfilling relationships,
Experience vibrant health and greater vitality (using a tool you already possess) and
Live your life in ease and flow for total fulfillment.

What could be better than living life with flow and ease? That’s a trick question because we all know there is nothing better, and I invite you to register now so you can get started. Reserve your spot or the webinar.

In infidelity, who’s responsible?

All of Dallas — and much of the world — has been riveted by the murder trial of former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger. She was arrested and charged with murdering a man who she thought had broken into her apartment late one night in September 2018. It turns out that she was at the wrong apartment.

Early in the trial, it came out that she was having a sexual affair with her police partner who was a married man. Even though I rarely allow myself to watch the news anymore because it makes me feel so negatively, I just happened to watch her testimony in which Guyger said that she had ended the relationship because, “I knew it was morally wrong, and I didn’t want to hurt anyone.”

When it comes to infidelity — in a marriage or committed relationship — who is responsible? I have always said that it is the person in the marriage or committed relationship because that person is the one who made legal/spiritual/emotional vows and promises to another person. If they are unhappy in that relationship, then it is their responsibility to end that relationship before entering another one. We don’t often see that happen anymore, however.

While I heard each of them try to distance themselves from each other during this trial, this is a good time to take a look at signs of a healthy relationship. So, how do you know if your relationship is full of real love or if you may be in an unhealthy, enmeshed relationship? Dr. Tim Clinton offers these 10 Signs of an Unhealthy Relationship. Do you …

Close your eyes to irresponsible behavior?
Keep secrets or tolerate abuse?
Sacrifice to cover up someone else’s mistakes?
Cater to a lazy person’s whims?
Cave in to an angry person’s demands?
Make excuses?
Justify bad behavior?
Accept the blame for something you never did?
Enable an addiction?
Lie to yourself or others?

“If you answered ‘yes’ to many of these statements, it’s likely that you may be stuck in an enmeshed relationship,” he wrote. “These relationships leave a legacy of heartbreak and manipulation. But that legacy can be changed if we are willing to open our eyes and take an honest look at ourselves and our relationships.”

Maybe it’s the Mental Health Professional in me, but it appeared by Guyger’s statement about her relationship with her partner that she was taking the blame which is No. 8 on this list. I can understand this behavior because I used to display it all the time in my relationships. I’m a natural peacemaker, and I wanted peace in my relationships. So, I often took the blame when I was not to blame. A person who truly loves themselves first (the topic of the next book I’m releasing available for preorder on my website) sets and enforces healthy boundaries and doesn’t accept blame that is not theirs.

Cheating on a partner or spouse is classically and purely ego — or Edging God Out, as Dr. Wayne Dyer often said. The key to overcoming the ego is love — pure, true, real love. It makes sense with the Bible informing us that God is love.

“Lovingness is a feature of your natural state, and your ego isn’t part of that state,” Dr. Dyer wrote in his book Being in Balance. “Ego dominates because you’ve separated yourself from your God-self, the loving self that came here from a place of perfectly Divine unconditional love. You’ve carried this ego idea of your own self-importance, your need to be right, for so long that you’ve deluded yourself into believing that the ego-self is who you are … By allowing this illusion to be the dominant force, you’ve created, through your ego-centered self, a heavy imbalance in your life.”

I have to keep going back to our responsibility in our lives — we are co-creators with God and can manifest anything we become focused on. I love what Dr. Sue Morter has to say about this, “Your life is YOUR movie. You are writing the story, playing the part of the main character, and have the power to decide and direct how everything will go.”

I’m so excited to tell you about her new eBook The Top 3 Mistakes That Keep You from Fulfillment & Flow, where she shares her proven system that heals lives on every level — mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

If you’ve been seeking a life where you feel complete freedom, total fulfillment and the joy of living in the flow, then this is eBook is for you.

In case you don’t know her, Dr. Sue is a renowned international speaker and founder of the Morter Institute for Bio-Energetics, an organization committed to teaching individuals self-healing techniques and a new approach to life based on Quantum Science.

Dr. Sue is the author of The Energy Codes ®: A 7-Step System to Awaken Your Spirit, Heal Your Body, and Live Your Best Life.

Being in a broken or unbalanced relationship can affect every aspect of your life … I know because I wrote my first book about it!

Heal yourself: The holistic healing journey begins with you

If you know me personally or have read my blog posts, then you know I’m big on holistic healing practices and “old-fashioned” remedies. (My grandparents used them on us, and they worked.)

I’ve written recently about my journey of healing my vision. Over the last four years, I’ve completely changed my diet and began taking supplements. The most immediate (and dramatic) change I — and the world — could see was a 70-pound weight loss. Regaining my vision has been a much slower process. While I’ve seen fireflies for the first time in decades, have seen more definition in clouds and have noticed some movement in my peripheral vision, I haven’t had a major breakthrough yet — meaning I still have little to no night vision and need to use magnifiers and glasses to read.

In September, I was blessed with the opportunity to have a stem cell therapy treatment. I’ve heard about many great health improvements from family members and acquaintances. I’ve also seen some great testimonials online from people diagnosed with the same eye disease I was diagnosed with. The procedure itself was very easy and quick, but the recovery process has been really rough for me.

I did every positive thing I knew to do. I fasted for 20 hours prior to the treatment. I’ve been eating a lot of salads and focusing on vegetables and protein. I’ve been juicing carrots and drinking black coffee (both prescribed in the beginning of my holistic journey by a doctor) along with water and green tea. However, I’ve been having weird side-effects including burning, itchy, swollen, flaky eye lids, dizziness when wearing my glasses (but I can’t read without them) and weakness/low energy. My guess is that my body is detoxing (the stem cell nurse agreed), and I’m just trying to ride it out because I know this stuff must come out of me and not be masked.

I’ve been on the holistic healing bandwagon since 1999 when I was working at my first newspaper in Tyler, Texas and got the flu during Thanksgiving week. A family friend who also lived there took me to see a holistic practitioner. He did Kinesiology (muscle testing) on me, and I was a believer. Kinesiology tests many areas of the body including the organs, looks at how the body is affected by food and other substances, and it’s even used by psychologists to reveal a person’s unconscious belief systems and determine how well one handles emotional, mental and spiritual stress.

I’ve realized during this process that the reason I love holistic healing so much is because I’m being the co-creator and manifesting my health. I’m not looking for something or someone outside of me to fix or heal me … I am working with the Creator of this body to heal it.

This is why I’m so excited to tell you about Dr. Sue Morter’s powerful e-book called The Top 3 Mistakes That Keep You from Fulfillment & Flow, In this book, she shares her proven system that heals lives on every level — mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. If you’ve been seeking a life where you feel complete freedom, total fulfillment and the joy of living in the flow, then this is an e-book you must read.

In case you don’t know her, Dr. Sue is a renowned international speaker and founder of the Morter Institute for Bio-Energetics, an organization committed to teaching individuals self-healing techniques and a new approach to life based on Quantum Science.
