M.A.D. Gyal Musings

In this episode I share a message that came through very strongly from spirit for you as the ultimate mind-being wellness goal for 2021 — to get back to self and focus on building mental strength/discipline by cultivating healthier habits, making necessary shifts and eliminating what no longer serves us. You always know what you need to do to be your best self and show up authentically in the world, now's the time to execute that... ### Let's connect online, my e-mail address is tamitsansai@gmail.com.

In part 2 of 2, I'm looking at what toxicity looks like in terms of intimate partner violence, the causes and what we can do about it. This episode is longer than usual

Mabrika [welcome] This is part 1 of a 2-part episode where I'm looking at what to do if you're in quarantine, lockdown etc. in an unsafe home, whether you are in physical danger or in an environment that destabilises your mental health in these COVID-19 times. In this one, I offer some free or very accessible recommendations for coping techniques that should help with maintaining your sanity as you navigate this; while in the other, I'll touch on the resources that are available to you for help in Jamaica. I'll go more into resources in pt 2. If you like this, please rate, subscribe, share on your social media and tag me — @tamitsansai—I'll appreciate whatever you decide on. If you have feedback, send me a DM or e-mail me: tami@tsansai.com, I'm learning and growing, so I'd love to hear it. Featured song is Trigger Protection Mantra by Jhené Aiko, I hope it soothes you as it does me.

In my second official episode, I'm sharing practical tips, curated from experts and some of my own, on how to take care of your mental health in light of the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. I hope you find them useful and valuable. If you do, please share this with someone, like it, rate it, leave me a comment. You can also e-mail me (tami@tsansai.com) and follow me on social media at @tamitsansai. I also forgot to include the two songs for today. The first of which represents the cut and clear, 'destroy to rebuild better' Oya energy I mentioned earlier. Oya, by Ibeyi. Incidentally, Oya is the Orisha I most identify with. Play the song here: https://youtu.be/lHRAPIwsS5I The other is incredibly soothing. It's The Waves We Give by Beautiful Chorus ft a Bruce Lee quote. I always find it so helpful when it feels like everything is falling apart. Stream it here: https://youtu.be/654sikYivck Seneko kakona [abundant blessings] and see you next week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tami-tsansai/message
