In October, Mental Health Awareness Month, I am in the thick of Mental Health First Aid training. If you haven't heard of this, it's a fabulous course that equips you with some basic skills to more easily identify and directly help people who are struggling with mental health. In celebration of this important month, I decided to share some of the common early warning signs of mental health decline.

You clear your desk. You clear your kitchen. You clear your closet. What if we cleared ourselves? What does it mean to CLEAR? For the past 3 days I have been so exhausted to the point where I could fall asleep standing up. What is that? I got back up after clearing it. In this episode, I explain what it means to clear something from your life. Our bodies act like radio towers and are picking up thoughts, feelings and emotions all the time. We are infinite beings with infinite knowing. Consciousness is a choice and when we're living in tru consciousness, we are one with life. When we're living in pure, positive energy, we function from total perceiving, knowing, being and receiving. It's when we have the ability to transcend our limited circumstances and actualize unlimited possibilities. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox.Let's Connect:The Get Up GirlInstagramFacebookMonthly online fitness academy

On today's show … Soda's son has asked the big question – where do babies come from? … and he doesn't know how to answer. So we looked to Adelaide for help; Erin tells us her sister has had the same problem this week, with her nephew accusing her of being a liar after his latest lesson in sex education at school; Erin & Soda help a local business get back on track after a tough couple of months in the first round of Erin & Soda's Getting Back To Small Business with Lumo SA. They each wrote an ad for Toucan Pet Store … who's ad will win and get played on Mix?; and Mental Health Commissioner John Mannion joins the show to talk about his work with Breakthrough SA, and we set a new goal to offer Mental Health First Aid to help mark Mental Health Awareness Month.

You already know what works to put you into a better frame of mind. Do more of that. And if you can't find motivation, override it and take opposite action. * Don't feel like walking? Go anyway. * Not in the mood to talk to anyone? Call a friend. * Feeling miserable? Watch a movie that always makes you laugh. You get the idea. You know what works for you. It's just that sometimes we just can't be arsed, right? Decide. Then do. Best wishes, Tess x p.s.

One of the main stressors in modern life is not having enough hours in the day. Trying to juggle working from home and remote learning for those of us in lockdown magnifies the problem. It stirs up the background noise of stress around getting things done at all (let alone on time). How's your email inbox looking? What about your bills? How are you juggling remote schooling? I find the biggest time bandits in my day are common to most people: * Distraction (including constant interruptions) * Procrastination (including social media) * Perfectionism (not getting anything finished unless it's “good enough”, or not starting because it “can't” be good enough) * Overwhelm (too much to do, no idea where to start) What to do? Use apps to simplify your day AND remove any apps from your line of sight that will interrupt your flow * Electronic shopping lists * Voice messaging and voice-to-text apps * “Hide” interrupting apps (social media, email, etc) off the front page of your phone (in a folder is best) … even better, remove them from your phone completely if you're brave * Use Google plug-ins like the Facebook “newsfeed eradicator” so you can't doom scroll when you're working * Pomodoro apps like “Focus” to keep you focused (cos there's nothing like a deadline, right!) Structure your week into blocks so you can be focussed on certain things on certain days (this is my absolute sanity saver). Make sure you add uninterruptible time. I have a day each week where nothing is allowed to be booked in, so I'm free to think, plan, focus, or even (gasp) take a day off. Take control of your time in simple ways to feel organised and less overwhelmed. This will help you balance your time at work and at home … even in lockdown! Best wishes, Tess x p.s.

“Why am I so tired all the time?” This is a question I hear all the time at the moment … and one I often ask myself! You might have seen media articles talking about ‘fatigue' and ‘languishing', but what's it all about? And why can't we just “pick ourselves up by the bootstraps” and soldier on like we used to? Well, let's stop for a minute and think about all the things we've been dealing with for the past couple of years … and don't forget to include the 2019 bushfires. We've not had a break since. * Bushfires * National lockdown * Work from home * Remote Learning * Closed borders * Lack of proper holidays * Rolling lockdowns * Vaccine rollout * Delta * Inability to plan * Protests * Interrupted education * Earthquake * Interrupted goals * Uncertainty about the future Think of your coping resources as being like water in a bucket … the impact of even one of the things we've had to deal with over the past two years will poke a hole in the bottom of that bucket. Now imagine that before you have the ability to repair that hole and refill your coping bucket, each of the other stressors from the past two years starts poking holes in your bucket. What happens to your coping resources? They run out of course! And this is the key with the fatigue we're all feeling. We've not had the opportunity to stop the holes being poked in our coping bucket, let alone repair the damage and fill that bucket back up! We're at risk of burnout on a grand scale. What do we do about that? * Take mini-breaks each day * Get fresh air when you can * Focus on the things within your control and let go of the things you have no influence over * SELF-COMPASSION big time - you're doing your best * Pick your battles * Get professional help if you need it AND don't forget a medical check up (I know from personal experience that this fatigue is NOT helped by low iron levels!) Be kind to yourself and remember … Rest IS doing something. Best wishes, Tess x p.s.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month. - அக்டோபர் மாதம், மனநல விழிப்புணர்வு மாதம்.

Summary:Today on The Tragedy Academy, I welcome Ryan Cooper, entrepreneur and author of the book Fuck It: Why Not Me. In this episode, Ryan wears his heart on his sleeve, walks us through the inspiration behind writing his book, and shares his experience growing up with a bipolar mother and later diagnosed with the same mental illness. Ryan's story is one of adversity and anguish yet, through perseverance, he can come out the other side full of gratitude and triumph. Key Points:

We all need to feel seen and heard, especially when times are tough. We need to know that when we're struggling, others see our pain. This provides validation that what we are experiencing is real. We also need to know that our reaction to difficult times is not “crazy”, but a normal response that anyone in the same situation would also experience. This helps normalise our response and take some of the self-judgement out of the equation. As mental health professionals normalising and validating peoples emotional experiences is a common aspect to our work with clients. It's not a ‘treatment' but an important element to laying the foundations for treatment to be effective, because it helps build trust. A fundamental component of the therapeutic relationship. What if you can't someone who'll provide that normalisation or validation for you? Then it's time to take a step back and provide that for yourself. How? It involves a big dollop of self-compassion, and consciously tapping into viewing your situation through the eyes of others (not in a critical way, but in a more objective way) … How would your favourite teacher, best friend, respected colleague feel if they were in your shoes? How long is the list of things you're trying to juggle right now? Would you expect others to be able to juggle that load without dropping any balls? Normalise your feelings by gently reminding yourself that others experience what you're going through and need help too … Do NOT minimise the impact on yourself just because “others have it tougher”. Remember, it's all relative. Validate your feelings by gently reminding yourself that it's okay to feel stressed in stressful time, or sad about sad things, or anxious during times of uncertainty. Be gentle with yourself. These are abnormal times, and big feelings are to be expected. And of course … it's normal to need help with overwhelming feelings too. Take care, Tess x p.s.

A discussion with Psychiatrist in Sydney Dr. Padmini Howpage about Mindfulness. - සතිමත්භාවය (mindfulness) ඔබේ ජීවිතයට හුරු කිරීමේ ක්‍රම පිලිබදව සිඩ්නි නුවර මනෝ වෛද්‍ය පද්මිණි හව්පගේ මහත්මිය සමග SBS සිංහල සිදු කල සාකච්චාවට සවන් දෙන්න.

One of the easiest things we can do to improve the moment we are in (which can have the added benefit of refreshing our mood) is to grab a reset minute. What's that? Something super simple that creates a pattern-interrupt when you're in a bit of a mood fug. Even something as simple as changing your posture or vocalising can do it. * If you've been sitting at your desk and feel your forehead stuck in a frown, stand up and give yourself a bit of a shake. It will reset you physically and refresh you mentally. * The same with vocalising - Been working silently for a while? Sing. Or yell. Or just speak out loud. On a technical level changing our posture or vocalising activates different part of the brain than when we've been sitting silently in a fug. Two of my favourites are super simple: * Kylie Minogue (or any dance-inducing music) plus dancing like a lunatic * Singing like an opera singer on steroids … ANY song that comes to mind I will turn into an aria. Van Halen? Yep. Due Lipa? Sure. * Both of these work on two fronts: Posture shift and Vocalising PLUS both make my family laugh (which ALWAYS improves my mood) My top tip for reseting and refreshing if you can't be a complete lunatic - and this is one I frequently encourage my clients to do: * Sit in a sunny spot (in your lounge room, in your garden, doesn't matter where) and enjoy a cup of tea/coffee (etc) This involves a posture shift (you've moved from wherever you were), a dose of Vitamin D from the sun (and some fresh air if you're outside), and another great mindfulness trip - savouring the moment. So, when you find yourself stuck in a mood you don't want, or in a work-from-home fug, try these little reset and refresh hacks to shake the cobwebs loose and push your mood closer to the direction you'd like it to be in. Remember, you can choose your mood, but sometimes you need to pull out the big guns. This is a good one. Now excuse me while I finish my coffee in the sun. Have a great day! Tess x p.s.

October is mental health awareness month. I've decided to bring some of my top tips for maintaining good mental health. A bit like cleaning your teeth to avoid decay, there are little things we can do each day to reset, refresh, and manage our moods. Today's tip is GROUNDING … What does this mean? If we think of how our emotions have the occasional potential to spiral out of control, escalating higher and higher into the stratosphere, it can be really helpful to know how to head off that process and keep your mods grounded on planet earth. There are many ways to achieve this, and I'll talk about some of them in more detail in coming days, but simple things like calm breathing techniques, mindfulness, and distraction can all help. Grounding is often one of the first strategies I teach my therapy clients, because it is just SO useful in so many settings. Have a wonderful day today, Tess x p.s.

Patients with chronic disease, including neurologic patients can often have suicidal thoughts and ideation. This week as we observe National Mental Health Awareness Month and Suicide Prevention Month, Dr. Greg talks with Lisa Koehl, UK Assistant Professor of Neurology, about signs and symptoms to look for, as well as eliminating the stigma of mental illness. The national suicide prevention hotline is 800-273-TALK.

Last May, as we approached the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, I decided to share my own story around mental health and, specifically, around my diagnoses of PTSD and General Anxiety Disorder.  I heard from so many of you who could relate to my story.  A large number of those of you who reached out to say “me too” also shared that you struggled with the same diagnoses.  Given this feedback, I thought it might be helpful to share what treatment/management modalities have helped me the most since being diagnosed. Overall, my diagnoses have given me so much clarity.  They have solidified who I am in so many ways.  I really understand why my brain works the way it does and how I can use this in my favor.  This has been such a huge relief.   As I share some of my tools in this episode, I cover everything from medication to exercise to calendar management to my precious morning coffee routine.  Whether or not you share my diagnoses, I think you'll find some of these tools essential to managing your mental health as we continue to navigate the state of the world. If you have any feedback or need any support, please reach out.  I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.

Summary: In today's episodes of The Tragedy Academy, Jay welcomes actress and director Christine Twyman. Chrissy breaks down the concept of trauma and presents a method of healing by art. Christine advocates that through art, we can create a space for trauma intervention.Key Points: Advocating for trauma intervention via artWorking with people who are only interested in the monetaryUnderstanding traumaIntegrating with your traumaRecognizing that it's not our parent's faultMen are oppressing themselvesEpisode Highlights:[00:00:31] Introduction to Christine Twyman    [00:03:04] Jay introduces Christine's goal of advocating for trauma intervention via art. She describes this as a society, and there are several issues the prevent people from getting trauma intervention, and one way to receive these interventions is through art. Why? Because art is one of the few things that can connect everyone in some way.  [00:06:36] Christine admits filming is a strange medium to create in because it is one of the few spaces where business and politics interject. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to separate them.[00:08:19] Christine makes it known the intent for someone to make art solely for money does not bother her if only they allow her to do what needs to get done.[00:12:12] Christine and Jay give their interpretation of ego. Where ego is more of a persona and how people perceive things.[00:14:04] Christine portrays that we are all traumatized children and confesses that she has grown more as an actor by understanding other people as she learns about herself while she unpacks her life.[00:17:32] Christine confesses her love for writing, even more than acting. Writing is the most exciting thing to do; it releases parts inside of you didn't even know you had.[00:22:11] Christine brings up the topic of violence in mass manipulation. From a young age, both women and men are conditioned to fall into specific gender roles, and if they dare to venture outside of that, there will be repercussions.[00:24:45] Christine tells us the critical role of past traumas how the goal is not to forget about your past but to make amends with it. It's a matter of integrating, not removing. She also shares the many pieces of herself she's learned from unpacking her mental illness.[00:26:57] Christine recognizes that it's not our parents' fault for how they raised us. The generational gap is normal, and it is our duty to create a better world for future generations by bridging those gaps.  [00:31:19] Christine breaks down the types of violence in life; 1st violence is physical abuse, and 2nd violence is psychological and emotional. People do not usually quantify emotional violence as violence.[00:33:24] Jay details his life growing up in a disenfranchised area of the south, where people blamed their struggles on each other when they should be blaming the system. Christine labels this as crabs in a barrel.[00:36:00] Christine and Jay agree on the notion that men are oppressing themselves. Men learn that they are not allowed to feel what makes them human. Christine states that to oppress the female class, men have to believe that there's something wrong with them at all. [00:39:34] Christine and Jay discuss the animosity we create within ourselves and how to identify microaggressions, referencing White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo.[00:44:05] Jay gives an anecdote when he passed judgment on a friend who just had his tooth chipped.[00:46:20] Christine gives us a quick rundown of commedia dell'arte, aka SNL 1.0.[00:50:30] Christine and Jay agree on art being a part of evolution. It's a tale as old as time; it's something we need. It creates connections and serves as an outlet for the ego.[00:54:47] Christine and Jay reflect angry pieces of art and what it means to make something with which you disagree.  [01:01:44] OutroSources Mentioned:-     White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo Instagram | @outta_my _skin 

After a year of secluding ourselves due to COVID-19, many are getting vaccinated and reconnecting to the world. The free app, Healthy Minds Program, has released a new meditation dedicated to entering a new phase as the world heals and returns to a sense of normalcy. The meditation in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month which was in May is by Dr. Cortland Dahl who joins Lisa to talk about well being, meditation, and the HealthyMinds Program App and more! Well-being is a skill - What modern science has to say about well-being and how it can be learned. The most current research suggests that the brain is constantly changing in response to experience. This insight, known in neuroscience as neuroplasticity, suggests that we can train our minds, and even rewire our brains, to be more resilient, more focused, and even to feel more connected with other people and our most deeply held values. Dr. Cortland Dahl and other scientists at the Center for Healthy Minds have developed a new scientific framework that helps us understand how this might actually happen. Their framework focuses on four core pillars of well-being - awareness, connection, insight, and purpose - and shows how in just minutes a day we can strengthen these pillars and improve our well-being. Dr. Cortland Dahl is a scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Healthy Minds and the Chief Contemplative Officer at the center's affiliated non-profit, Healthy Minds Innovations. He has a varied career, which includes nearly a decade spent living in Tibetan refugee settlements in India and Nepal, translating ancient meditation manuals from Tibetan into English, and the founding of a global network of meditation centers. In his work as a scientist, he has been at the forefront of the current research on meditation and well-being, including the creation of a groundbreaking scientific model of well-being recently published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Rachel Baiman over Zoom video! In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, indie-folk artist Rachel Baiman spoke with Good Morning America about why she turns to music and art when her mental health is suffering and the five songs that make her feel better, here: instagram.com/p/CPIe_Y5LlaC On her forthcoming ‘Cycles' album (6.11 via Signature Sounds), Baiman dissects and empathizes with the mental cycles of individuals and today (5.24), she illuminates what that looks like for her own self-worth with a performance of “Hope It Hurts.” Watch here: youtu.be/NgVUIrzzYbU Filmed at Maison des Merveilles in Nashville, TN by Kaitlyn Raitz (Sarah Jarosz, Jillette Johnson), the “Hope It Hurts” is an expression of anger and rejection, fueled by a personal experience that many musicians face in the entertainment industry — being told their no longer a good investment. She explores how damaging this experience is for self-worth, esteem and overall mental health. "I wrote this song after being dropped by my first booking agent of over 5 years, out of virtually nowhere, with an extremely impersonal email,” says Baiman. "Being told I was no longer a good investment was both a personal and artistic blow and also a realization of the viciousness of the music industry. I really believed that I was on the verge of reaching a new level of success, and when your team gives up on you, that can go away in an instant. That kind of raw rejection fuels a lot of existential questions about worthiness and self esteem.” Fans can expect a plethora of these raw, emotional acoustic performances from Baiman on tour this summer. On Saturday, June 12, she'll celebrate the ‘Cycles' album release in Nashville, TN at City Winery. Find tickets and more information, here: rachelbaiman.com/tour. We want to hear from you!

We just finished a month-long focus on the podcast for Mental Health Awareness Month in May, and in many ways this episode will be a continuation of that because, as you will hear, LGBTQ children and youth are some of the most at-risk for suicidal ideation and death by suicide. This is why we MUST know how to talk to kids about LGBTQ topics in a way that will anchor and strengthen them because everyone deserves not just tolerance–but also respect, inclusion, and equal rights.  Our guest today is Allison Dayton, a mother of three from Utah who is the founder of the https://www.liftandlove.org/ (Lift & Love Foundation), which was created to support LGBTQ individuals and family through education, support groups, and free and reduced cost therapy. In the interview you will hear Allison share about her deep personal connection to the LGBTQ community and why she is so passionate about helping parents and their kids create a more supportive and inclusive world. Allison understands that talking to kids about LGBTQ topics such as sexual orientation and gender identity may be new to a lot of us, so in this episode she breaks down three simple roles that we can take on as we begin to have more of these discussions with our children: we can be a teacher, a shelter, and a connector.  *** - 3 Takeaways for how to talk to kids about LGBTQ topics-1) Be a teacher.  Our children are going to hear about and see LGBTQ relationships and people in the world around them starting very young, and it is our responsibility to give them the context they need in order to understand these topics and how to be inclusive. Remember, before we can be teachers, we have to be learners. If you don't know much about LGBTQ topics, that's okay...start learning and, most importantly, talk to LGBTQ people about their experiences. 2) Be a shelter. Studies have shown that feeling accepted by parents makes a tremendous difference in the mental well-being of all children–especially LGBTQ youth. When your children make comments about their own sexuality or that of their friends or peers, respond with openness and curiosity. They may be testing to see how secure the shelter of your love is. 3) Be a connector. In our ever-divided world, we can be an influence that takes the time to connect with other people and listen to them. And we can teach our children how to do this too!  My challenge for all of us this week, my friends, is to do one thing to talk to our kids about LGBTQ topics. That might mean actually having a simple conversation with them about what it means to be gay, or it might mean doing some learning ourselves first.  *** >>>Will you try any of these tips about talking to kids about LGBTQ?

This vintage Dateline episode asks us the age old question...if your teenager is a sociopathic murderer, is it your fault? What about if they are just really really annoying?

Join Kimberly & Katie as we’re talking about MEAN GIRLS, and not the “she doesn’t even go here” variety. She indeed does go here, and she’s making fun of your outfit all while plotting a completely unnecessary and tragic murder. It's a journey through the raging hormones, Lancaster Logic, and one middle-aged person (name withheld) trying desperately to avoid a pack of roving bike teens in her neighborhood. All that plus, two women without children give unsolicited parenting opinions. Please enjoy this very special edition of A Date with Dateline: A Chance for Kaylee.

Does it feel unsolvable? Like your anxiety attack will like it will never end? What if you had tools to help ease your anxiety in the moment?   As you know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we’re getting serious about mental health over here on The Refined Collective Podcast. Two weeks ago, I spoke with Trauma Therapist Kobe Campbell all about therapy (tune in here if you missed it). And last week, I shared my own experience with anxiety and practical ways to identify your anxiety triggers outside of the moment (tune in here if you missed it). This week, I wanted to share how you can stabilize your anxiety when you’re in the moment.   A Collective Anxiety Why are we experiencing so much anxiety?

In order to reactivate the others, you have to let the Primal Brain know you’re safe.   How do you speak to the Primal Brain to reactivate other two parts of our brain?   4 Things to Do In the Moment: Pause Breathe Mindful breathing DO IT NOW // 4 DEEP INHALES + EXHALES This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, meaning you feel safe and your body stops pumping cortisol and adrenaline. Quitting cigarette smoking is hard, in part, because it involves deep breathing. BOXED BREATHING (Navy SEALs use this!) Try it now (4x) Simple truths: I am safe and at home in my body I am here. I can breathe. I can feel discomfort and still be safe Ground Fear removes us from the moment. Runaway train of thought. Worst case scenarios.

 “What if meditation was a part of a child’s daily routine, along with showering and brushing their teeth? How would it change their life?” -Tejal V. Patel May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we are having episodes all month focused on how to strengthen our own mental health as mothers, as well the mental health of our children. In http://3in30podcast.com/181-emotional-wellness-in-kids (last week’s episode), we learned from Lisa Sabey, founder of Parents-to-Parents, that mental wellness is based on SKILLS. Skills that can and must be taught from a very young age. Research shows that one of the foundational skills for mental wellness is mindfulness--the ability to notice and process our emotions.  In today’s episode, I’m honored to be interviewing Tejal V. Patel, a mindfulness and https://tejalvpatel.com/ (meditation advocate) for families, who is going to teach us HOW to incorporate daily meditation skills into life with our children, making it as integral a part of our daily routine as brushing our teeth. *** -Tejal V. Patel’s 3 Takeaways for Teaching Kids Meditation-  Know the difference between active meditation and passive meditation, and focus on active meditation with beginners.This means making movement part of your meditation practice, as you build basic meditation skills like breathing.  Don’t try to teach your child meditation in the midst of a meltdown. With daily mindfulness practice, you will find that massive meltdowns are fewer and farther between because they will build more ability to self-regulate. Be the guide from the side, not the sage from the stage. Even if you yourself have never practiced meditation, you can still teach your kids to do this. You can learn with them!  >>>Will you try any of these tips from Tejal V. Patel? What would you add to her takeaways?

May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States, and we have an incredible month of education in store. Today’s episode about emotional wellness in kids is a special one to kick us off.  Our guest is Lisa Sabey, the founder and president of https://www.facebook.com/parentstoparents/ (Parents-to-Parents), an organization dedicated to helping parents whose children are struggling with mental health by providing clear, practical, and evidence-based information and suggestions through filmed documentaries. Recently Lisa’s focus has switched from making documentaries to making educational materials to support new parents early on to understand how to empower their children with mental wellness skills. *** -Lisa Sabey’s 3 Takeaways for Encouraging Emotional Wellness in Kids-  Parents do not cause mental illness. It is important to establish this upfront because when you have a child who is struggling, it only adds more pain and shame if you blame yourself.  Emotional wellness in kids is possible, and it is based on skills that we can learn and teach. We as parents can help to arm our children with the skills they need to deal with failure, rewire negative thinking, and manage complex emotions.  Remember the acronym FAN: F- Face our fears. A - Always connect emotionally first. N - Name emotions as much as needed for our children to understand and process them.  >>>Will you try any of these tips to encourage emotional wellness in kids?
