H.O.L.D.F.A.S.T. Radio

As part of a capstone project I am completing for an MA in Profossional and Digital Media Writing, I have created a blog, http://www.wabisabiformentalwellness.com entitled Content with Discontentment: Positive Psychology and Wabi Sabi for Mental Wellness. It features a running bibliography of sources and recommended reading for visitors to further their research. Each article, inspired by personal experience and influenced by academic writing, Japanese teachings and special interest psychology articles will include a workable exercise to further your experience.Every article will be featured as a blog post and will be presented as a radio blog episode here on H.O.L.D.F.A.S.T. Radio: Ride Out Life with bipolar disorder. Tune in!

"Dipping your foot into the watery situation and gently splashing with the cold unknown will not make the entrance any easier. We've got to face the unknown HEAD ON! Just dive in, and trust; it is the excitement you are feeling for the unknown, not anxiousness. This Knowledge ALONE will change everything for you. Embrace fear. You WILL overcome." - A.Grieme

"...and what about the less-than-perfect moments? What do you do when you are triggered by something, ANYTHING, when it just isn't a good day? It happens. Shit happens. Life just is... and when you are dealing with mental illness, whether your own or anothers, sometimes the tiniest match head can be ignited by the most unlikely spark. Irrational anger is inevitable. It is the way we deal with it that matters; not the anger itself." - A. Grieme Tune in to explore this and more on H.O.L.F.A.S.T. Radio. Also, please check out the GREEN COMET Book Sale on www.agriemebooks.com :)

"To explore your mental health and understand it, you must open a dialogue with someone or group of people who can empathize...outside of your inner circle. Then, look to your heart; it is a place of honesty. You will find strength there and see things with clarity. It is being." - A. Grieme

"Transparency IS the key to understanding mental illness... yours or your loved ones. It is a universal truth... one that I couldn't comprehend fully until I was well advanced into bipolar disorder and much damage had already been done: physically, emotionally and psychologically. H is for Honesty... in all facets of life. It is really tough, but you can do it." - A. Grieme

"What is in your lifeboat? We all need one at one time or another in life. Please join me as I explore Chapter of 'Loving Yourself and Others with Mental Illness' on HOLDFAST Radio. A special thanks to one of my Lifeboats... ESU and Co." - A Grieme

"Everyone has a backstory; mental illness doesn't discriminate and manifests itself differently at different stages in life. But your backstory is just that... a back story. It does not define you, but is just a tiny piece that makes up the beautiful being that is YOU." - A. GriemeTune in to DAY 2 of Loving Yourself and Others with Mental Illness, based on the interactive workbook by A. Grieme available at https://www.agriemebooks.com - Dive into a methodology that will help you navigate this funky world. H.O.L.D.F.A.S.T. methodology will allow you to take pause... and steer unpredictable behavior in yourself that may otherwise potentially cause conflict, harm or agitation.

"Today, remember that you are not alone; there is HOPE. Every mental illness is as unique as each person with it! There are symptoms and behaviors that are indicative of certain facets of the disorder; how you deal, varies." - A. GriemeTune in to DAY 1 of Loving Yourself and Others with Mental Illness, based on the interactive workbook by A. Grieme available at https://www.agriemebooks.com - Dive into a methodology that will help you navigate this funky world. H.O.L.D.F.A.S.T. methodology will allow you to take pause... and steer unpredictable behavior in yourself that may otherwise potentially cause conflict, harm or agitation.

So the last 2 and 1/2 (and then some) years have been... well... trying for the majority of humanity. Collectively, individually it has been a s*&$ show (for lack of a better description). Today I delve into the many facets of my experience with a spiritual awakening that may very well be misconstrued by many as, perhaps, a psychotic episode. As empathic beings, how do we decipher between the two and how do we cope? Let's open this pandora's box... sans psych meds, and see what we can find! Please join me!

Michelle Gray is a Spiritual Practitioner, Psychic Medium, Magic Mama, Blogger and Public Speaker. Michelle is very empathetic, and was a target for bullies as a child and young adult. Her connection to the Spirit world was something she knew existed but she kept much of it within her family and close friends. In 2004 after the birth of one of her children, she was diagnosed with a hereditary disease called SpinoCerebellar Ataxia type 6. She was told that her health would continue to fail and that she would digress over her adult life...eventually unable to talk or walk as a result. By 2011, Michelle had been hospitalized several times with pain and illness, and was highly addicted to opiates as a result of being prescribed a deadly dosage for a lengthy time. A Letter to God, A guide named Erik Medhus, and a poignant question from her daughter changed EVERYTHING! Michelle started a road to recovery, trying to rebuild and focus on better days ahead. She now Lives HER TRUTH and will help you to do the same! Don't miss this beautiful interview with an extraordinary woman with special guest Erik Medhus... from the other side.

Featured on today's episode... "In order to trust yourself, you must trust the process. In order to trust anything, you must approach it with clarity. It is essential that we are present when dealing with our friends and loved ones. If we react to them from a place of non-love, the outcome can be detrimental. We can trust our heart space, because only truth and love reside there." - A. Grieme

"Sometimes we must overcome misinformation and dogma before we can move into realms of knowing. If something is true, you can prove and experience it yourself repeatedly.

Enhance the meaning of life and help others achieve purpose and contentment. Both the skeptic and the truth seeker can glimpse new worlds through my experiences.

"WE MADE IT!  IT IS CHRISTMAS EVE!  'tis the season of JOY! Yet despite the giving, love, cheer, Tchaikovsky, Andy Williams, Ella Fitzgerald and Burl Ives... without fail, I become unjustifiably sad... every season. Really sad.   I manage to hold fast to motherhood and the wonder in my daughter's eyes to make it through, but in quiet moments, I fall.  Does this sound painfully familiar?  I KNOW I am not alone, so I have channeled the wisdom of one of my favorite people to help us through: Albert Einstein.  Please join me for th FINAL DAY of Einstein wisdom.  His beauty, simplicity and eccentricity will undoubtedly help us stop... breathe... and get over ourselves!  His words are truly empowering and invaluable."Please join Amanda Grieme, Author of “Dear Prudence,” Motherhood Made ME Get Over MYSELF: A Metamorphosis, and English/Creative Writing Educator.
