Contentment comes when we can...

🎯 focus on what's within our control.

🎯 control how we respond to people & things.

🎯 value our time more than money & possessions.

🎯 meditate on our mortality every day.

🎯 put ourselves up for review on a regular basis.

🎯 resist having an opinion on everything (some things are better left unsaid).

Be consistent. Be persistent. Be the gatekeeper of your mind - and you’ll feel the benefits, mentally and physically.

To support your journey, I’ve gathered some of my favourite (and free) tools for stress relief, confidence, habit change, and more.

They’ve helped me and I offer them to you as a gift.

Explore them and use what resonates - and please share.

I LOVE AFFIRMATIONS 🥰

We are processing more than 50-thousand thoughts a day... and most of those thoughts are, sadly, negative.

Retraining our brain takes practice, patience, and persistence. What we practice grows stronger.🙏

Repetition helps sculpt & strengthen new neural pathways that can serve us in healthier ways.

Balance the books of your life at the end of each day. Pick some affirmations that resonate for you, and put them on "repeat."

There are countless tools, techniques, and strategies that can help you attain & maintain Better Mental Health. Let's find what works for you. Together, we can take the first steps toward your journey of healing and transformation. I'd love to hear from you.

Did you grow up being told, "You can break an arm that way... patting yourself on the back!"

That message taught me to diminish my efforts and downplay my accomplishments for too long.

The work of Dr. Abraham Low (whose legacy is Recovery International) taught me that it's important to endorse ourselves for the effort - not just the outcome.

✅ So here’s your reminder: it’s not bragging to acknowledge your growth - it’s mental health fitness.

Let’s normalize self-endorsement. Share one thing you’re proud of - big or small - and tag a friend who deserves a pat on the back, too!

I'm happy to be a living example of perseverance & hope, and grateful to be offering tools that can work "when you work it." 🙏

As always, I'm here when you want to talk https://calendly.com/mentalhealthfa

Hi 👋🏼 I’m Tanya, the founder of Mental Health Fitness Alliance ~ MHFA ~ and Red Roof Recovery (RRR).

After 20+ years in broadcast journalism - and my own personal journey through mental health & addiction challenges and recovery - I realized mental fitness needs the same attention as physical fitness.

That's why I created MHFA ~ as a training division of RRR.

✅ To make mental fitness practical and accessible.
✅ To empower individuals and organizations.
✅ To build stronger, more resilient communities.

Thank you for being here. We'll continue to share weekly inspiration and tools, techniques, & strategies for better mental health!

The Cup of Life & Death has been life transformational for me.

The Tibetan ritual encourages us to "balance the books of our life at the end of each day."

Living "one day at a time" is a practice that helps me contemplate my mortality each day - and stay focused on what's within my control.

To support you on this wavy journey of life, I’ve gathered some of my favourite inspirational tools that can help with stress relief, habit change, and overall well-being. These tools have been invaluable to me, and I offer them to you as a gift.

Explore them. See what resonates with you, and please share them.

Today, I celebrate SEVEN YEARS clear & sober. 🎉

It wasn't a linear journey for me... it was quite a bumpy ride with lots of twists & turns! My first "rehab" stay was in 2009, and then I struggled with setbacks for the next 9 years while attending meetings & following the 12 Steps of AA/NA.

I was only 21 days clear & sober when I found SMART Recovery, which has helped me create a life I'll never need to escape from again. 🙏

May the force be with you and remember...
YOU are the force!
