Let’s Talk: Mental Health & Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day can be beautiful—but it can also be incredibly hard.

For some, it’s a reminder of deep loss.
For others, it brings up grief, longing, or complicated emotions.
Maybe you’ve lost your mother, never had the chance to be one, or your relationship with motherhood is filled with pain.
Maybe you’re in the thick of healing—and this day feels like salt in an old wound.

Let’s pause and honor that.

Your feelings are valid.
It’s okay to not feel celebratory. It’s okay to grieve. And it’s okay to feel joy and sadness at the same time. You don’t have to choose one.

This Mother’s Day, choose compassion.
If you’re struggling, give yourself permission to step back, breathe deeply, and nurture your own heart.
And if you know someone who might be hurting—check in. A text. A hug. A moment to say, “I see you.”

Grief and healing are both part of the human experience. You’re not alone.

This Mother’s Day, let’s honor all versions of the story.

What Is Positive Thinking?

Positive thinking isn’t about pretending life is perfect or ignoring hard times—it’s about facing challenges with a mindset that seeks growth, hope, and strength.

It means choosing to see the best in others, recognizing your own strengths, and making the most out of obstacles instead of being defined by them.

According to psychologist Martin Seligman, positive thinking is closely tied to your explanatory style—how you explain life’s events:
• Optimistic Explanatory Style: You give yourself credit for the good, see bad events as temporary, and recognize that sometimes things are just out of your control.
• Pessimistic Explanatory Style: You might blame yourself for the bad, downplay your wins, and feel like negativity is permanent.

When you shift your mindset toward optimism, you’re more likely to bounce back, grow, and find peace—even during setbacks.

So no, positive thinking isn’t toxic or fake—it’s powerful. And it starts with how you talk to yourself.

What kind of explanatory style do you usually fall into? Let’s talk about it below.

He still listens.

May is Mental Health Month and it’s time to get real about what’s going on inside our minds and hearts. Let’s talk about something many people mix up: Feelings vs. Emotions.

Feelings are our personal, internal responses. They’re shaped by our experiences, beliefs, and thoughts.
Example: You might feel rejected if someone doesn’t answer your call. That feeling stems from your perception of the situation.

Emotions are automatic, universal, and physiological responses to stimuli.
Example: You might experience fear if a car almost hits you — it’s a natural emotional reaction to danger.

Right now, we’re focusing on two powerful emotional states:
Fear & Anxiety
They’re not just feelings — they’re emotional signals that something might be unsafe, uncertain, or overwhelming.

But here’s the truth:
Fear is a response to a real threat.
Anxiety is the anticipation of a possible threat.

They feel similar, but they’re not the same. When we understand the difference, we gain control — not over the world, but over how we navigate it.

He still listens, even when your emotions are heavy and your feelings feel tangled.

Let this month be about awareness, healing, and hope.
Take a breath. You’re not alone.

Red for fear.
Green for growth.

Mental Health Matters.
You matter.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Let this be your reminder: it’s OK to check in with a psychiatrist. It’s OK to sit down with a therapist. It’s OK to say, “I need help.”

Your mind is just as important as your body. Therapy isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. Medication isn’t shameful—it’s strength. Healing takes courage, not perfection.

This is your mind. This is your life. You get to choose peace. You get to choose clarity. You get to choose YOU.

How to Reduce Anxiety: Practical Strategies for Calm 🌿💙

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but there are proven ways to manage it and regain a sense of control. Here are some key strategies:

🧠 Challenge Negative Thoughts

Anxiety often comes from distorted thinking. Ask yourself:
• Is this thought based on facts or fear?
• What’s a more balanced way to look at this?
• Has this worry ever actually come true?

🌬 Practice Deep Breathing

Try the 4-7-8 technique:
• Inhale for 4 seconds
• Hold for 7 seconds
• Exhale slowly for 8 seconds
This helps activate your body’s relaxation response.

🚶‍♀️ Engage in Physical Activity

Movement helps release stress hormones and increase endorphins. Even a short walk, stretching, or dancing can help shift your mood.

🧘‍♂️ Ground Yourself in the Present

Use the 5-4-3-2-1 technique to bring your mind back to now:
• 5 things you see 👀
• 4 things you feel 🤲
• 3 things you hear 👂
• 2 things you smell 👃
• 1 thing you taste 👅

📝 Write It Out

Journaling your worries can help get them out of your head and onto paper, making them feel more manageable.

🛑 Limit Stimulants & Screen Time

Too much caffeine, social media, or news can increase anxiety. Try setting boundaries to create a more peaceful environment.

🤝 Seek Support

You don’t have to manage anxiety alone. Whether it’s talking to a trusted friend or working with a therapist, support is key.

Remember, anxiety is not who you are—it’s something you experience. Small, daily habits can create big shifts in how you feel. 💙
