Happy Universal Human Rights Month!

Today's quote comes from Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, a South African anti-apartheid activist and politician who served as the first president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. He is held in deep respect within South Africa, where he is often referred to by his Thembu clan name, Madiba, and described as the "Father of the Nation". Globally regarded as an icon of democracy and social justice, he received more than 250 honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize.

Mandela was born into the Thembu royal family in Mvezo, South Africa. He studied law at the University of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand before working as a lawyer in Johannesburg. There he became involved in anti-colonial and African nationalist politics co-founding a Youth League in 1944. After the National Party's white-only government established apartheid, a system of racial segregation that privileged whites, Mandela and the ANC committed themselves to its overthrow.

Leading a broad coalition government which promulgated a new constitution, Mandela emphasized reconciliation between the country's racial groups and created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses. He also introduced measures to combat poverty and expand healthcare services, and acted as mediator in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial. True to his promise he declined a second presidential term and was succeeded by his deputy. Mandela then turned his focus to combating poverty and HIV/AIDS through the charitable Nelson Mandela Foundation.

How I Prefer To Meditate - Body Scan Meditation

Happy World Meditation Day!

Mindful body scan meditations can help relieve pain, depression and anxiety, as well as improve the quality of your sleep. Research suggests that mindfulness meditation practices, such as body scanning, can help improve depression, anxiety, pain symptoms, and overall quality of life for people living with chronic pain. Mindfulness practices provide these benefits by activating our body’s parasympathetic nervous system in a unique way that calms different structures in the limbic system The limbic system is responsible for processing pain and emotions such as fear, anxiety, anger, and depression. The next time you are struggling with negative thoughts, difficult emotions, or getting a restful night of sleep, give body scan meditation a try.

Here is my favorite 3 Minute Body Scan Meditation: https://youtu.be/c1Ndym-IsQg

The holiday season can be a tremendously stressful time for many individuals who are already struggling with depression and anxiety. According to a survey, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reported that approximately 24% of people with a diagnosed mental illness find that the holidays make their condition “a lot” worse and 40% “somewhat” worse. In another survey, approximately 755 of the overall respondents reported that the holidays contribute to feelings of sadness and dissatisfaction. “For many people the holiday season is not always the most wonderful time of the year” exclaimed the medical director of NAMI. “What the survey shows is a tremendous need for people to reach out and watch out for each other in keeping with the spirit of the season.”

When we stand together in strength, dignity, hope, and purpose, we can make a difference. This is a great time to raise awareness about the importance of caring for our mental well-being. Whether you’re facing challenges, supporting a friend or loved one, or are looking to help, your voice matters. No one has to face these feelings alone. Healing is possible and help is available.

Here are two great resources:
NAMI National Alliance on Mental Health https://www.nami.org/
SAMHSA Substance Abuse and Mental Health Association https://www.samhsa.gov/

Today's quote comes from Jamie Tworkowski. Jamie is the New York Times bestselling author of If You Feel Too Much. He founded the non-profit organization To Write Love on Her Arms in 2006, born from an attempt to help a friend and tell a story. TWLOHA is now recognized as an award-winning leader in mental health and su***de prevention. To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and su***de. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and invest directly into treatment and recovery.
