Mental health and physical health are not separate. They are different sides of the same person. Please don't let cultural stigma stop you from becoming a healthy you.

🕒 Master Your Time with the Pomodoro Technique! 🍅

Struggling with time management and focus, especially if you have ADHD? The Pomodoro Technique might be a good tool for you.

This method breaks your work into manageable chunks of time, typically 25 minutes, followed by a 5-minute break. After four cycles, take a longer break of 20-30 minutes. 🔄

Why is this great for ADHD? It helps structure tasks, limit distractions, and improve executive function. Plus, it prevents hyperfocus on a single task for too long. ⏳

But remember, one size doesn’t fit all! If shifting into focus takes longer, extend your work time. If shorter tasks work better for you, reduce it. Feel free to adjust the work and break periods to fit your unique needs. 🛠

Give the Pomodoro Technique a try and take control of your time and productivity! 💪

🔵 Matters 🔵

Did you know?
- Over 6 million men suffer from depression each year, yet it often goes underdiagnosed.
- Nearly 9% of men experience daily feelings of anxiety or depression.
- Tragically, more than 4 times as many men as women die by su***de every year. The su***de rate among American men is about four times higher than among women.
- Despite these alarming statistics, less than half (41.0%) of men who had daily feelings of anxiety or depression took medication for these feelings or had recently talked to a mental health professional.

These numbers are a stark reminder that we need to break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health. It’s okay to not be okay, and it’s more than okay to seek help. Let’s challenge the stigma and create a safe space for everyone. 💙

There are times in our lives when the wind blows unfavorably. We get to choose: to try and fight the wind, to use the wind as we can, or to drop our sails and wait out the storm.

There are many myths about emotions that exist in our world. These myths can lead to distress if we believe and follow them. A way to help move past these myths is to challenge them and find a more adaptable approach and view of emotions.

Becoming aware of what motivates us to start and work on tasks is one of the first steps of self-acceptance, self-grace, and adapting our approach to life.

🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈

As a therapist and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I want to remind everyone that you are not alone.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, know that help is available. Whether it's seeking support, needing someone to talk to, or looking for resources, don't hesitate to reach out. Your mental health is important, and there are people, including professionals like myself, who are here to support you.

This month, we celebrate love, diversity, and acceptance. It's a time to remember how far we've come and to recognize the journey ahead.

Let's make this Pride Month, a beacon of hope and solidarity. Love is love, and every one of you is valued and cherished.
