Some helpful insights from another journeyer…

I just read The Mountain is You - Transforming Self-Sabotage into Self-Mastery
By: Brianna Wiest

This book is such a gift if you have ever been at a place where you think that “there is nothing holding you back in life more than yourself”. This book is an encouragement to look inside and find the places that need healing and then to take steps to heal those places. We can’t heal what we don’t first admit needs healing and this book helps find and highlight those places.

I have highlighted a lot of this book but one quote that stood out to me is when it says:

“Rock bottom isn’t a bad day. It doesn’t happen by chance. We only arrive at rock bottom when our habits begin to compound upon one another, when our coping mechanisms have spiraled so out of control that we can no longer resist the feelings we were attempting to hide. Rock bottom is when we are finally faced with ourselves, when everything has gone wrong, we are left to realize that there is only one common denominator through it all. We must heal. We must change. We must choose to turn around so that we will never feel this way again”.

There are times in my life that I have felt this way. I have had good friends who have helped me process and heal during these seasons, and I have also had good counsellors who have helped me find healthy ways to heal and make the changes I needed to make to get unstuck.

Two things.
1. Get this book - actually get a couple copies so you can give one to someone else as well - it is so good.
2. Reach out and book below if you need help as you take steps to heal.

healthy way?

So much pressure is being put on relationships since the start of Covid. Counselling might be an option if your relationship is struggling.

This is so important! Please consider donating to the Not Alone campaign and getting behind the fundraising for youth struggling in our community.

I cannot stress how important this initiative is. Foundry East Kootenay is a massive step forward in the way we address youth mental health in our community. You can also donate through the East Kootenay Foundation for Health's website at www.ekfh.ca/donations-form.

This was written 3 years ago and I think it is even more important today!

We're ignoring the stigma surrounding mental health that stops many men from seeking help when they need it most — and it's literally killing them.

Some great strategies to try!

Keep sharing and allowing others to hear your story. Don’t battle alone.

Today is World Mental Health Day. 🧠An opportunity for us to raise awareness for mental health issues, and to connect with others in hopes of talking more openly about our struggles and feelings. 🙌🤝💕

Some gentle reminders for you today:

1. You are not alone - courage is all about slowing it down for a moment to notice just how many love you
2. Take it moment by moment, day by day, especially in the tough seasons
3. Freedom lives in gratitude
4. I’m rooting for you. You’ve come so far and so many are in awe of your journey

Share this post with someone who may need a gentle reminder today. ✨Be kind to yourself, and hold on always.🙏 This world needs you. We need you. We are .💕

This is such a great reminder to check in with the teens in our lives during this pandemic.

Telling kids they are not grieving unless they've lost a loved one during the pandemic sends an unhealthy message. Instead, listen and empathize.
