Mental Health Awareness Tip: Urge Surfing

Urge surfing is a technique for managing your unwanted behaviors. Rather than giving in to an urge, you will ride it out, like a surfer riding a wave. After a short time, the urge will pass on its own.

1. TRIGGER: An urge is triggered by a person, place, thought, feeling, or something else.

2. RISE: The urge becomes more intense. This may happen gradually or very
suddenly.

3. PEAK: The urge reaches its most intense point. It may feel as if the urge will
never go away.

4. FALL: The urge loses intensity and eventually fades away.

Managing Triggers:
Use coping skills to reduce the power of triggers. Know your triggers ahead of time, and have a strategy or skill prepared for each one.
Examples: deep breathing if stressed, eating if hungry, leaving a location if it is high risk.

Delay & Distraction:
Do something to take your mind off the urge. Every minute you delay increases the chance of the urge weakening on its own.
Examples: go for a walk, listen to music, call a friend, read a book, practice a hobby.

If you feel like you are facing challenges dealing with unwanted triggers on a daily basis and need someone to talk to you and give you some guidance, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Mental Health Awareness Tip: Managing Childhood Depression

Caregiver support is critical to the treatment of childhood depression. Although there is no quick fix for depression, caregivers play an important role by maintaining a supportive environment and teaching healthy habits.

1. Kids thrive with routine. Following a daily routine reduces stress by creating predictability, among other benefits. Begin by doing a few important tasks—such as meals and bedtime—at the same time, and in a similar way, every day.

2. Behavioral Action: Depression causes children to lose interest in normal activities. Consequently, they become less active, which causes depression to worsen. Make a point to schedule enjoyable activities every day.

3. Sleep Hygiene: Sleep problems associated with depression include trouble falling asleep, restless or poor quality sleep, and feeling tired during the day. Improve sleep quality by turning off screens an hour before bed, winding down with relaxing activities, and following a regular schedule with consistent sleep and wake times.

4. Socializing: Kids who are depressed may lose interest in seeing friends or socializing. Although it may be tempting to let your child stay home, this will reinforce their isolation.

5. A Chance to Talk: Like adults, sometimes kids just need to talk. Make it part of your routine to spend a few minutes talking about your child’s day.

6. Relaxation Skills: Between school, homework, peers, siblings, and chores, kids have a lot of stress. Relaxation skills such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation are an excellent way for your child to manage their stress. Practice these skills every day for the greatest benefit.

If you feel like you are facing challenges with children of yours or around you and need someone to talk to you and give you some guidance, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Mental Health Awareness Tip: Time Management Tips

1. Writing down your responsibilities has a number of benefits. Not only will it ensure you don’t forget anything, it also reduced stress by allowing you to drop your mental checklist.
2. Focus on completing the most important, and the quickest tasks, first. If you have a few “to-dos” that will only take five minutes, knock them out quickly for the peace of mind.
3. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you have a really big task before you. Breaking big tasks into small pieces will help you get started, which is often the hardest part.
4. Spend a few days recording how much time you spend on distractions such as social media or TV. Then, cut out the distractions you don’t actually enjoy, and schedule time for the ones you do enjoy. Always set an alarm so you know when to get back to work.
5. If you know that you will succumb to distractions, get away from them. Create clear boundaries between work and play by putting up a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your door, turning off your phone, or going to a coffee shop without TV.
6. Plan on arriving to appointments 15 minutes early, and bring something to do in case you find yourself waiting. Schedule some buffer time will help to reduce your stress when things inevitably run long.
7. If you try to complete every task to perfection, some of your other responsibilities won’t get done at all. Focus on completing everything to an acceptable level, and then go back to improve upon your work if you have time.

Time management techniques can often be harder to practice than to preach. If you find yourself still struggling with managing time effectively amongst all the chaos in your city, do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with an Aastha therapist today to get more detailed guidance on how to manage time better.

Mental Health Awareness Tip: The Wise Mind

Your mind has three states: The reasonable mind, the emotional mind, and the wise mind. Everyone possesses each of these states, but most people gravitate toward a specific one most of the time.

The emotional mind is used when feelings control a person’s thoughts and behaviour. They might act impulsively with little regard for consequences.

A person uses their reasonable mind when they approach a situation intellectually. They plan and make decisions based on fact.

The wise mind refers to a balance between the reasonable and emotional halves. They are able to recognise and respect their feelings, while responding to them in a rational manner.

If you ever feel like you are not being able to balance your emotional and reasonable mind to bring forward your strongest wise mind, know that we are here to guide you professionally.
