Monday Mental Health Moment: Today, on World AIDS Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and stories of those living with HIV/AIDS.
As a mental health therapist, I’m reminded daily that healing is not just physical—it’s emotional, relational, and deeply human.

HIV does not define a person.
Stigma does far more harm than any diagnosis ever could.

✨ Let’s choose compassion.
✨ Let’s choose education.
✨ Let’s choose support.

You are seen. You are valued. You are not alone.

**🦃💚 Monday Mental Health Moment: Mindful Thanksgiving 💚🦃**

As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, it’s important to prioritize our mental well-being. Here are some tips to help you cope and enjoy the holiday:

1. **Set Realistic Expectations**: Remember, Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be perfect. Focus on what truly matters – being with loved ones and feeling gratitude.

2. **Practice Gratitude**: Take a moment to reflect on what you are thankful for. Write it down or share it with others during the meal – it can boost your mood and strengthen connections.

3. **Know Your Limits**: It’s okay to say no to certain activities or to leave early if you start feeling overwhelmed. Your mental health comes first!

4. **Take Breaks**: If you feel stressed, step outside for a few minutes of fresh air or find a quiet space to recharge.

5. **Engage in Mindful Eating**: Savor each bite and enjoy the flavors. This can help you be more present and reduce anxiety around food.

6. **Stay Active**: Incorporate some light physical activity, like a walk after the meal. It’s a great way to boost your mood and digest the feast!

7. **Connect with Supportive People**: Surround yourself with positive influences. Spend time with those who uplift you and make you feel good about yourself.

8. **Don’t Forget Self-Care**: Take time for yourself, whether it’s reading, meditating, or engaging in a hobby you love. Prioritize activities that help you relax.

9. **Know It’s Okay to Feel**: Acknowledge your feelings, whether they’re positive or negative. It’s normal to have mixed emotions during the holidays.

10. **Seek Help if Needed**: If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to talk to a friend, family member, or a professional. You’re not alone!

This Thanksgiving, let’s celebrate gratitude and togetherness while caring for our mental health. 💚✨ How do you plan to take care of yourself this holiday season? Share in the comments!

Monday Mental Health Moment: For the Youth and beyond…

✨ Focusing on What You Can Control ✨

In life, we often encounter situations that can impact our mental well-being. It’s important to recognize the difference between what we can and cannot control to maintain a positive mindset.

🧠 **What’s in Your Control:**
- Your Thoughts: Practice positive self-talk and challenge negative thoughts.
- Your Actions: Choose how to respond to situations, and engage in activities that bring you joy.
- Your Efforts: Invest energy in what aligns with your goals and values.
- Your Boundaries: Set healthy limits to protect your peace.

🌟 **What’s Outside Your Control:**
- Others’ Opinions: People will always have their perspectives.
- The Past: Learn from it, but don’t let it define your future.
- Unexpected Events: Adapt to changes by focusing on resilience and flexibility.
- Others’ Actions: Remember, you can only control your reaction to them.

🕊️ By identifying where your power lies, you enhance your ability to cultivate peace and resilience. Focus on what you can control and let go of what you cannot.

Monday Mental Health Moment:
Back to topNational Bullying Prevention Month
October was first declared as National Bullying Prevention Month in 2006. Since then, October has been a time to acknowledge that bullying has devastating effects on children and families such as school avoidance, loss of self-esteem, increased anxiety, and depression. Bullying can occur in multiple ways. It can be verbal, physical, through social exclusion, or via digital sources like email, texts, or social media. Unlike mutual teasing or fighting, bullying occurs when one person or a group of people is perceived as being more powerful than another and takes advantage of that power through repeated physical assaults, threats of harm, intimidation, or by purposefully excluding a person from a valued social group. Being bullied can severely affect the person’s self-image, social interactions, and school performance and can lead to mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and substance use, and even suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Do your part to address bullying when you see it and make sure to always be kind!

Monday Mental Health Moment: We most times don’t even realize we are numbing our pain in these ways. Attending to the roots of our issues allows us to repair our thinking and then our behaviors. “Dealing with it” is NOT healing from it.

🌿 Monday Mental Health Moment 🌿

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by constant news updates. Remember, our minds aren’t built to carry the weight of every crisis and story.

Take a moment to unplug, breathe, and give yourself permission to step away from the news cycle. Prioritize your mental well-being—balance your awareness with self-care.

Your peace is important. 💙✨
