We talk a lot about emotional regulation. Emotional regulation is not about ignoring or suppressing our emotions. Instead, it is about acknowledging our emotions and not judging ourselves for having them. The process of observing and acknowledging them gives us time to reflect rather than to react blindly to our emotions. It allows us to respond to situations in a more balanced, less reactive way.

Logical reasoning is an amazing skill. It allows us to create compelling arguments that support our actions. But logic is only one factor in decision making. A decision that focuses only on logic without considering emotional factors and the impact on others can be immoral or unethical. When making decisions, remember your humanity, compassion, and kindness.

We learn more from our failures than our successes. Mistakes are crucial for learning and growth. If we do not pay attention to our mistakes and learn from them, we cannot make progress.

Reflect on mistakes and learn from them, but do not dwell on them.

We filter the world through our emotional and mental states. These states heavily influence how we perceive situations and interactions. If you focus on what is wrong, it is all you will see. At the same time, if you focus on the successes, that is all you will see. We need to see both but cannot focus solely on one at the expense of the other.

May is mental health month.

As a psychologist, I’m often asked what my self care is. I always respond that self care at its core is kind of boring: it’s getting enough sleep, fueling your body well, and moving your body. My favorite ways to move my body are lifting and running.

This year I challenged my bestie, owner of Reboot Physical Therapy, to complete the Frederick Running Festival’s Nut Job Challenge. For this you run the 5k on Saturday night and then the half marathon Sunday morning. We finished the challenge and after a brief recovery, celebrated with our traditional post-race meal.

Find your way to move. Exercise should be fun.

Facts, truths, and physical laws exist outside of our opinions, beliefs, and desires. We need to be sure that we are not ignoring facts (reality), even when that reality is not consistent with our goals and beliefs.

Authority gives us a position. That position does not make us a leader. True leadership comes from our ability to inspire others. People comply with authority, but they follow leaders. Cultivate leadership by leading by example. Set the standard for your group and be sure you meet that standard.

May is Mental Health Health Awareness month. My plan is to post something each day this month.

I wanted to start with one of my favorite Star Wars quotes. Chances are, if you have seen in me in the wild you've seen me wearing a t shirt with this quote.

Hope is amazing. It is what keeps us going when things seem the darkest. And that is what makes it vital to healing. Hope helps us conquer fear. It helps us see a better (healthier) tomorrow. It also provides us the strength to make those difficult, and sometimes scary, decisions including the decisions to be vulnerable, reach out for help, and to make changes. This all allows us to heal.

There is always hope. Sometimes we have to look a little harder to find it, but it is always there.
