Accepting what we can't change


Adapting to life's demands and stresses is certainly something that EVERYONE can relate to, but HOW MANY OF US realize when "we are NOT adapting" very well and we need courage to "let go" of an expectation or grief in order to HEAL and MOVE ON???





One of the happiest moments ever is when I found the courage
to finally let go of what I could not change. 

This post is about OUR mental health. Let's NOT look at anyone else for JUST A MOMENT. There is NO ONE ELSE that matters more to me at this moment as YOU...Stay in "the present" with me and let's talk about YOU. YOU are an unique and wonderful person either from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and Oceania, Africa or possible even Antarctica   We may all having varying educational experiences and cultural differences but we have ONE THING in common...we are human and have a heart and mind and body in which we dwell and experience life.

We deserve to TAKE GOOD CARE of ourselves...that includes not only our physical health but our MENTAL HEALTH as well. It can be GREATLY challenged when we are faced with abuse. We become more greatly AWARE of our needs; both physical, emotional and MENTAL when we are abused. 

If you have been abused, or currently living in an abusive situation...have you asked yourself "WHAT have I been doing for myself in order to find myself, heal from abuse and learn to dream again?" If counseling with a professional, qualified mental health practitioner has NOT been on your list, then please consider it today. Just like you would consider taking good care of yourself physically if you were not feeling well. We can do all that we can do before we may realize that "we need some professional help" and go to the doctor to be examined and treated with medication. Why should our mental health mean less to us than our physical health???

Let's WORK TOGETHER to help erase the stigma that "going to a counselor" means that we are "crazy"...in my case and from PERSONAL experience, if I had NOT gone to a counselor in dealing with abuse, then my mental health would NOT be in as good a shape that it is today. 

Please take care of your MENTAL HEALTH today. 

You ARE worth it!!!
