After years of supporting individuals and families through Red Roof Recovery, we're moving to a broader & bolder mission...

🔑 Prevention.
💪 Resilience.
🧠 Mental Fitness to manage the ups-and-downs of everyday life.

✅ Mental Health Fitness Alliance - MHFA - is the next chapter... a space to shift the conversation from illness to wellness, and from stigma to strength.

This isn’t the end of Red Roof Recovery. There will always be a supportive presence here with inspirational posts.

You're invited to follow our path at https://www.facebook.com/MHFAmentalhealthfitnessalliance

where we're changing the conversation around Mental Health - for individuals, families, workplaces, and communities.

And, as always, I'm here when you want to talk https://calendly.com/redroofrecovery

May the force be with you,
and remember...
YOU are the force!

Cognitive (thought & perception) therapies can be effective for many people, including me. Cognitive therapies help me manage my mental health without pharmaceuticals, and help me remain FREE from addictions.

When we consistently work at noticing the unhelpful patterns of thought that tend to be the brain's 'default' mode - and persistently work at "catching-checking-changing" those unhelpful patterns into more helpful patterns - we can manage our lives to BE the life we want... and the life we'll never need to escape from. 💫

Consistency turns average into unstoppable.

Self Care is an act of survival, love, and bravery❣️

Repetition is the Mother of Learning. What we practice grows stronger!

With daily "mindfulness" practice, you can retrain your brain to serve you in healthier ways.

Mindfulness is simply taking the time to feel your breath, feel your body... notice your thoughts and feel your feelings - without judgement.

Join us for mindful movement at Goderich Martial Arts for 30-minute Tai Chi practice Mon, Wed, Friday's at noon - and Wed evenings at 6:30.

I'm also a Mindfulness Mentor on Insight Timer (one of the largest, free meditation apps in the world). Have a listen to The Harmonious Mind - short talks offering inspiration & self-compassion. https://insighttimer.com/MindfulnessMentor.

May the force be with you,
and remember...
YOU are the force.

Enjoy "short" insights For Better Mental Health.♥

You've likely heard me say/write that this "anti-social media" world is a billion times worse than "mainstream media" was.

This digital era brings unprecedented times - addiction & su***de rates have doubled since 2020, children are "cutting" earlier, the leading cause of death for men under 25 is now su***de. 😔 Yes, I could go on-and-on with all the negative things happening in the world right now.

I haven't watched, read, or listened to news since 2002 - and the only thing I've missed is the stress & depression that comes from being exposed and inundated with bad news every day.

For 22 years as a journalist, the daily mantra was, "If it bleeds, it leads."
𝑵𝒐𝒘, 𝒎𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 "𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒆." 🎶𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅, 𝒐𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔!"🎶

Now that I'm attaining a "level of 65" I can recall hearing my grandparents repeatedly say, "The world is going to hell in a hand-basket."
So, I guess all is well, eh?! 😅

I just asked AI to create a photo depicting Tai Chi flow. This is nothing like Tai Chi flow. 😂

Join us every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday at noon for a 30 minute “flow”session and the benefits 💫

You’ll find us at Goderich Martial Arts, where we also do a Wednesday evening class at 6:30 🙌
