Mind Ova Matter...
Good morning Ladies and Gents. Today is a new day and today we will only tackle things we know we can control. Whatever happens today that's not we don't worry about it. Every morning it is important to wake up with a stable mind and just by saying words like those can really make your day because you're putting yourself in a mindset to think about what only matters to you and nothing else. If you want a change in the way you think about things (this post talks to me too lol) read on for an interesting topic and good info!

Vulnerability and Stress
Vulnerability: I know exactly what it feels like to be nervous about going out and attempting something you really want to do, but don’t feel good enough to do. It’s possible that media has told you that this particular thing takes time and effort that you are unsure you have, or that you need more experience or schooling. Maybe even the people around you have not been so encouraging with what you want to pursue. I’m lucky to have friends and family who understand why I am continuing my education, even if it puts a big dent in finances. I know and they know that my future plans will be worth it twice over. The struggle that I understand overall is the pressures that we put on ourselves. The thing I struggle with most is comparing myself to others. We want to make our own voice heard in one way or another, but if we are introverted or have anxiety about being vulnerable, we tend to see ourselves as not enough. Especially when we look to others around our age who seem to have it all together. Another fear is being scared to put ourselves out in the open and be vulnerable when we have seen what some cruel people can do to others who are already living their dreams. Media has given us something beautiful, the ability to share, communicate, and experience things together as a community, but no matter what kind of community that you have, some might oppose that community. AND THAT IS OKAY. Lyrics from a song that I love and can really relate too is, “If I didn't know what it hurt like to be broken, then how would I know what it feels like to be whole. If I didn't know what it cuts like to be rejected, then I wouldn't know the joy of coming home. Maybe it's okay if I'm not okay.” ‘Maybe it’s okay’ by We Are Messengers. How do you feel about this subject, or these lyrics?

Taking Control Of Your Mental Health.
For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with some type of mental illness. When I was about 13 years old I recognized the beginnings of the struggles of depression and anxiety. I started to become sad for absolutely no reason at all, I isolated myself, I saw no purpose in life, and along came the suicidal thoughts. My anxiety grew when I was around large groups of people, I worried that everyone was talking ill of me, and I lived in a constant state of paranoia. Along with these struggles also came an eating disorder that still effects some of my life today. It wasn't until November of 2019 that I decided to really do something serious about my mental health. I started taking antidepressants, and now I see a counselor. I could lie and tell you that I'm better, cured, or fixed, but that just isn't the truth. Some days are good, some days are bad, and some are a mixture of both. What I want everyone to take away from this is that you are NOT alone. You CAN take small steps to better your mental health. Taking small steps can really lead to big changes. If medicine or therapy isn't an option for you, there are ways that you can improve. Here is a list of ways that have helped me over the years.

An emotional ailment: how tinnitus changes everything
I haven’t heard the sound of silence since I was sixteen. It’s almost difficult to remember how it felt to be enveloped in that stillness now. I, along with approximately 7.1 million other adults in the UK, have tinnitus. It’s that ringing or buzzing noise in your ears after a concert, or late night at the club. Except for roughly 13% of us, it doesn’t vanish after a few hours. It is unrelenting and for many it causes severe discomfort and psychological distress.

Waves On the Ocean Breathing
My Own Words Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Mary Hartnett, Wendy W. Williams This book became available to me as I walked up Manhattan Avenue, on my way to begin my Brooklyn Greenway run. It has been a long time since I have been in this neighborhood. I passed so many places that I must get back to, especially now that I know exactly where the Jungle Cafe is, yum, right off the G train.

Eating Four Vegan Croissants
Dear Mother Nature, Happy September. I praise you, and I want you to know that I get it. For some reason you have chosen to challenge me at the end, and beginning of every month with this PMS thing. It's so hard. I'm not sure why you chose me for this, but I'm dealing with it as best I can.

Mindful Strolls With Big Results
If you live in a city you might have felt especially overwhelmed and confined to your inside spaces during this year's coronavirus pandemic. This is entirely normal given all the unusual stressors this year that has restricted our lives to a more sedentary lifestyle. The uncertainty this year has brought has been extremely stressful and out of place for many of us. It is important to find your calm, your unique ways to de-stress. For some that may be music, others may find mediation useful, some dancing, some reading, while others may find enjoyment from movies or video games.
