May 2017 - Mental Health Awareness Month

Good Morning everyone ~ It is time to awaken to what is going on inside of you.  We have been discussing mental health, and in particular Clinical Depression and other forms of depression.

If you have been following along with us, then you have been writing in your Journal or Diary, and taking notes about what you are learning here on the Blog.

The main thing that needs to be focused on today is the value of being aware of what is going on inside of you.  Your mental health is important.  In addition, your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being are key factors that affect your happiness and those areas of your life should be looked into today.

Please grab your Journal or Diary for this next exercise.  If you do not have one handy, a Notebook will do just fine.

Remember:  YOU are IMPORTANT.

Take a moment to ask yourself the following questions . . .

1)  Did I awake today feeling refreshed?

2)  Did I awake today ready to tackle whatever comes before

       me?

3)  Did I awake feeling tired?

4)  Did I awake with yesterday's issues looming over my

       head?

5)  Did anything agitate or disturb me upon waking?

Now, take your pen, and in your Journal, Diary or Notebook, place your answers to the five questions listed above.

Journal your Thoughts

Here on the pages before you is where you'll meet your "self".  We often forget that we are our own best friend.  We know more about our "self" than we acknowledge.  We often overlook our own feelings, wants, needs and desires.  We rush along through life doing and going and talking and working, and buzzing about concerning ourselves with everything but the right thing.  We let other people tell us who we are and what we're about, and we know good and well that they do not have a clue -- although they think they do.

Now, let us keep moving forward in the pages before us...

Ask yourself the following...

1)  What was the first thing that I did today?

2)  Who was the first person I came in contact with?

3)  Where was the first place that I went to outside of my

       home?

4)  Did I take any medication, or vitamins?

5)  Did I exercise, meditate, listen to music or pray?

6)  Did I get on the telephone, computer, or any other

       technical device?

Now simply jot your answers down in your Journal, Diary or Notebook.  The questions are all diverse, and what is now happening is you are taking the time to hone in on you.

What you have written are answers to eleven questions that we will come back to in another Blog Session.  For now, just keep them in your personal Journal, Diary or Notebook for safe-keeping.

Now take a deep breath.  Relax your body.  Clear your mind.

 Get Comfortable     

Say to your "self" . . .

"This day shall be peaceful and calm.  No matter what may happen on this day, I will remain peaceful and calm."

See you in the next Blog Session for more on Mental Health.

NAMASTE

Peace, Love & Light,

 René
