Achieving Mental Liberation
Recently I was introduced to an idea that has caused a paradigm shift in my approach to mindfulness. The archway leading to some sort of awakening or transcendence was missing its keystone - unbeknownst to me. I was chasing my own tail, feeling brief moments of success only to find that I had duped myself yet again.

Black Minds Matter. Top Story - September 2020.
Growing up the black community I knew that seeking help for mental health was seen as weird and taboo. Telling someone you are in therapy was like openly admitting to being that psycho killer from all the horror movies. There are a wide variety of mental health issues that stretch a wide spectrum of intensity that affect most of the population. Why does my community think it affects all these people, but not us? We want to be strong. We want to be the perfect embodiment of strength. We want to be built so strong that no one from the outside world could ever break us down. Having a mental health issue is seen as a weakness. It is the crack in the foundation that threatens to tear the whole structure down. Just like eye color and freckles this is something that is passed down from parent to child year after year. It is one of those generational curses that people are always talking about. One that needs to be broken now across the board. One that is causing more harm by having so many people not receive the help they need from fear of they will be perceived.

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.
