Hazelwood Mental Health

If anyone wants to get involved in improving access to mental health, here's a great opportunity. Did you know Arizona ranks 49th in the country? You can help move that dial!

Hi friends! I founded a nonprofit to help folks be able to pay for mental health care and prescriptions if they can't afford copays, deductibles, prescription costs, self pay costs etc. I'm looking for a volunteer community/patient advisory board! We are seeking ten people to join (18+, live in AZ). Requirement is your experience in mental health or as a caregiver to someone.

We are also looking for mental health professionals for our partner advisory board!

If you are passionate about mental health and access to care, I really think this could be an amazing opportunity.

Requirements and application here 💜

Manifestation is not magic.
It’s your brain doing its job.

Your brain has one priority:

Keep you safe.

Not successful.
Not fulfilled.
Safe.

So every time you say you want something bigger
more visibility
more money
more responsibility

Your brain runs a quick check:

Is this familiar?
No.
Then it must be risky.

And what happens next?

You hesitate.
You overthink.
You suddenly feel “off.”
You procrastinate and call it timing.

That’s not lack of discipline.
That’s your nervous system hitting the brakes.

At the same time, your brain is filtering reality through what it already believes using the Reticular Activating System

If your baseline is:

“This is hard”
“This probably won’t work”

You will find proof of that everywhere.

Same world.
Different filter.
Different outcome.

So here’s the truth no one wants to say:

You’re not blocked.
You’re patterned.

And patterns don’t change because you thought a better thought.

They change because you showed your brain something different.

Repeatedly.

Small actions
Done consistently
While your body is uncomfortable

That’s how you retrain your system.

That’s how things start to open.

Two Minute Challenge
The next time you feel yourself hesitate

Don’t analyze it
Don’t wait for clarity

Just ask:

Is this actually unsafe
or just unfamiliar?

Then move anyway

That’s the work

Everyone says take a big leap.

Burn the ships. Go all in. Change your life overnight.

Sounds great.
It's also why most people don’t start.

Because big moves feel risky.
Small moves feel optional.

And that’s exactly why small moves work.

You don’t need a massive shift to change your life.
You need a different direction, repeated.

One email.
One application.
One conversation.
One decision you’ve been putting off.

That’s it.

People miss this because it’s not exciting.
It doesn’t feel powerful.
It doesn’t make a good story… yet.

But small steps do something big.

They interrupt patterns.
They build evidence.
They create momentum.

And once you’re moving, everything changes.

This is where manifestation actually lives.

Not in the vision.
In the step you take after it.

Two Minute Challenge
What’s one thing you’ve been overthinking?

Shrink it.

Make it almost too easy to do.

Then do it today.

Not perfectly.
Just in motion.

That’s how things start to shift.

I’ve been listening to a lot about manifestation lately.

And here’s what I’ve realized…

I *do* think I’m a lucky person

I’ve won a car
An expensive dive flashlight
A hotel stay
Lunch for the office

I’ve had opportunities land in my lap that most people would call wild or unbelievable

It would be really easy to say
“Wow, things just work out for her”

But that’s not the full story

I won the car because I entered the competition
and showed up for the series of events

I won the flashlight because I went diving
and did a handstand on the ocean floor
and took the picture

Every single moment of luck had something in common

I put my name in the ring

That’s the part people skip when they talk about manifestation

They focus on the outcome
and ignore the pattern

Opportunities don’t just appear
They become visible
and then they require participation

You can’t win something you didn’t enter
You can’t be chosen if you never show up
You can’t be considered if no one knows your name

I don’t think I’m lucky because things fall into my lap

I think I’m lucky because I move toward things

Two Minute Challenge
Where is there an opportunity you’ve been hovering around?

Not committing
Not stepping in
Just watching

Put your name in the ring

Apply
Enter
Reach out
Say yes

You don’t need more luck

You need more participation

Everyone loves talking about manifestation.

Very few people are willing to tell the truth about it.

You don’t manifest what you want.
You manifest what you move on.

You can journal it. Visualize it. Say it out loud 100 times.

But if your behavior doesn’t change?
Nothing changes.

This is where most people get stuck.

They’re waiting to feel confident.
Waiting to feel ready.
Waiting for a sign.

Meanwhile, the version of them who actually has what they want?

Moves.

Before it feels good.
Before it feels certain.
Before it feels safe.

Not recklessly. Not blindly.

But decisively.

Here’s the uncomfortable part:

If your life isn’t changing, it’s not because you’re not manifesting hard enough.

It’s because your actions are still aligned with your current identity.

And your current identity will protect itself.

It will keep you scrolling instead of sending the message.
Thinking instead of deciding.
Preparing instead of starting.

Manifestation isn’t soft.

It’s friction.
It’s tension.
It’s choosing movement when your brain would rather stay familiar.

Two Minute Challenge
Where are you hesitating right now?

Not someday. Not eventually.
Right now.

Do the thing you’ve been circling.

Not perfectly.
Just decisively.

That’s the moment things start shifting.

Let’s talk about the part of manifestation no one really wants to talk about:

Your brain is biased.

Not in a bad way. Just… efficiently.

Once you decide something is true or important, your brain starts looking for evidence to support it. It highlights what matches and quietly ignores what doesn’t.

So if your focus sounds like:

“Nothing is working”
“I never get ahead”
“There aren’t good opportunities”

Your brain goes to work proving you right.

You’ll notice delays. Missed chances. Friction.
And it will feel like reality is confirming your belief.

But shift the focus, even slightly:

“There might be something here I’m not seeing yet”
“Where is this already working, even a little?”
“What’s one option available to me right now?”

Now your brain scans differently.

Same life.
Different filter.
Different data.

This isn’t about pretending everything is perfect.
It’s about choosing a lens that actually gives you access to more.

Two Minute Challenge
Catch one limiting thought today.

Don’t fight it. Don’t judge it.
Just ask:

“What else could also be true?”

Then look for evidence of that.

You’re not changing reality in that moment.
You’re expanding what you’re able to see.

And that’s where things start to open up.

Manifestation gets talked about like magic.

Think it. Feel it. Wait for it.

But that’s not how it actually works.

You don’t create something out of nothing.
You start noticing what was already there.

Your brain is constantly filtering information. The moment you decide something matters, you begin to see it more clearly. Opportunities, patterns, connections… they were always present, but now they’re on your radar.

And here’s where it shifts.

What you focus on doesn’t just change what you notice.
It changes how you behave.

You follow up.
You take small risks.
You stay in things a little longer.
You move differently.

Over time, those small shifts compound into results that look like things are “just falling into place.”

That’s not magic.
That’s alignment.

Manifestation isn’t about making something appear.
It’s about becoming someone who notices, moves toward, and sustains what they say they want.

Two Minute Challenge
What is one thing you want more of right now?

Now ask yourself
Where is that already showing up in small ways?

Find it.
Act on it.
Repeat.

That’s how things start to change.

Behind every practice, there is a story.

Ours started with burnout, a mentor named Dr. Hazel, and a decision to build something different.

Hazelwood founder Chyllia Dixon sat down with Bold Journeys to share what it really took to create a psychiatric practice rooted in presence, partnership, and putting patients first.

We are so grateful for this community and for every patient who trusts us with their care. This one is for you.
