Some of this may not be surprising but these things are the ones we most often hear about.

When blood sugar drops, your body views it as a stressor and shoots up your cortisol - hence the "hangry" sensation!

Any shift in our lives - whether positive or negative - can create anxiety. Because it's new and unfamiliar.

Always and immediately responding to anxiety can sometimes create the belief that what you're anxious about is in fact dangerous or urgent, which it's not.

Do you have someone you care about who's suffering with their mental health? Here are some things you can say to show them that you care.

1) I'm here if you ever want to talk. No pressure.
2) I've noticed you've been a bit off - how are you doing really?
3) No fixing, no advice. Just here to listen.
4) You're not a burden. You're human.
5) I don't need you to be "on" with me. You're allowed to just be.
6) If you ever want to talk to someone professionally, I can help you find someone.
7) Want to go for a walk together?
8)You don't have to earn rest. You already deserve it.
9) Take your time. There's no pressure to be okay quickly.
10) Let me take something off your plate.

I can't keep count of the amount of times I've said this to my clients. To never get triggered is to not be human! It's all about awareness and moderation.

Our eyes move naturally in bilateral motions as we walk - right to left. This turns on the logical and emotional parts of our brain and helps us make sense of how we feel.

When we're sitting still, our amygdala - where we feel we're in danger - can go haywire. Walking settles it down.

When I say "Go", I want you to think about anything at all EXCEPT a pink elephant dancing across your screen. Really try hard to not think about the glares and smudges on your screen not being in the shape of a pink elephant...GO!

Now what are you thinking about?

A pink elephant🐘??

This is what happens to our thoughts. The more we push them away (through distractions, substance use, self harm), the bigger they grow and harder they are to ignore. There may be a time and a place to think about them, but to try to never think about them almost always makes things harder in the end.

June is Men's Health Month! So we wanted to remind everyone out there - all genders - that it's okay (and necessary!) for men to feel and be vulnerable 💙

Nearly 1 in 10 men experience depression or anxiety, and are 4x more likely to die by su***de than women. However, less than half if men with mental illness actually seek treatment. This is seen to be due to stigma and societal pressure to appear "tough." Understanding these statistics is crucial for raising awareness about men's mental health and encouraging men to seek help. 🤝

Instead of running from what hurt us, too often, we chase it. We beg it to explain, and try to make the pain make sense.

Was it something I said? Was I too much? Not enough? Did I deserve it?

Going back for answers with a snake would only lead to more pain. Some pain doesn't come with a reason. Healing can begin when you stop chasing what hurts you.
