Hey there wonderful friends! As we approach World Mental Health Day I want to take a moment to remind all of you about the wonderful power of connection. In our fast-paced lives it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to check-in on the ones we love. But a simple, heartfelt conversation can make all the difference.

Mental health matters and our support can mean the world to someone going through a tough time. A kind word, a listening ear or a virtual hug can provide the comfort they need. Let's break the stigma surrounding mental health by openly talking about it and supporting one another.

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day, reach out and connect with your friends and loved ones. You can start a wave of compassion, you can make a difference in someone's life!

"Real-life ROMANCE is fueled by a far more humdrum approach to staying connected. It is kept alive each time you let your spouse know he or she is valued during the grind of everyday life." - John Gottman As we come to the close of this work week be intentional and take a moment to let your spouse know what you love, appreciate and admire about them. Don't assume they know!

Grief changes over time. Healing is an ongoing process. In the earliest days, months the pain eclipses everything. And while the grief does not end, it evolves. We continue to grow through our experiences, including grief, throughout our lives. As the Holidays approach grief can become more tender. Remember, it is not a problem to be fixed, but to be supported. Who can you support today as they move through their grief? Shoot them a text, or better yet, go old school and give them a call.

What is shaking in your world? Could you use some unshakable hope? If so, you are not alone. We live in a day of despair. The su***de rate in America has increased 24% since 1999. If a disease saw such a spike, we would deem it an epidemic. How do we explain the increase? We’ve never been more educated. We have tools of technology our parents could not have dreamed of. We are saturated with entertainment and recreation. Yet more people than ever are orchestrating their own deaths. How could this be? Among the answers must be this: people are dying for lack of hope. – Excerpt from NY Times Best Selling Author – Max Lucado His book: Unshakable Hope ***dehotline ***depreventionawareness

The su***de rate for Veterans is 1.5 times higher than the general population. About 20 Veterans a day complete su***de and sadly, nearly 3/4 are not under VA care. Do you know someone who has served? Be sure to thank them and check in with them regularly. The Veterans Crisis Line is 1-800-273-8255 option 1.

September is Su***de Prevention Month: Have you ever wondered if someone in your life was having thoughts of su***de and been at a loss for words when you tried to talk to them? Asking someone if they are suicidal won't put the thought in their head or encourage them to go through with it. Check in with them, ask, it may lessen the shame and guilt they might be feeling. Asking from a place of genuine care and concern helps someone who is struggling feel connected, rather than isolated in a place of darkness. Some questions to ask: How are you doing? How are you getting by? Have you thought of hurting yourself? Do you ever think about killing yourself? If they answer yes it is important to get more info: Have you ever thought how you would do it? Do you have a plan in place? What holds you back? Resources are available: Dial 988 for the National Su***de and Crisis Line; Crisis Text Line: text HOME to 741741 to connect with a crisis counselor. ***deprevention ***dePreventionMonth

"Deep sorrow often has the effect of stripping life of pretense, vanity, and waste. It forces us to ask basic questions about what is most important in life. Suffering can lead to a simpler life, less cluttered with nonessentials. It is clarifying. That is why many people who suffer sudden and severe loss often become different people." - Jerry Sittser from his book 'A Grace Disguised'

Today is Survivors of Su***de Loss Day. If you know a family that has been touched by su***de reach out today, let them know you care and you remember their loved one. Grief can be an intensely lonely space, don’t hesitate, reach out! “Grief is visceral, not reasonable: the howling at the center of grief is raw and real. It is love in its most wild form.” – M. Devine

Stress, anger, fear, anxiety, trauma – our bodies hold these in the form of headaches, back pain, tense shoulders, clenched jaw, you name it… Often we don’t recognize all that we hold in our bodies, it becomes ‘normal’ for us as we roll through each day on autopilot. We wonder why we can’t get a handle on things. Slow down and take a minute to appreciate the way your body and your mind work together. We can begin to heal our minds by starting with our bodies. Start by simply moving – turn the music up and dance, head to the gym, get out and walk – I am loving the beauty of the fall leaves and brisk walks with my husband and dog – Bear 😊 What about you – how do you get moving? Share a comment of what works for you – have some fun with it!

“In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer Take a moment to name 5 things that you are grateful for. Step out and let others know how much you appreciate them; don’t assume they know. We are often driven to distraction by the adventures of daily life and can find our minds racing, leading to anxiety. Turning our minds to gratitude and communicating what we appreciate to our family, friends and colleagues will have a profound impact on how we view the world and ourselves. Be curious, give it a shot and see what you notice!

What comes up for you when you hear the words change & resistance? Often, we find ways to avoid personal change when these changes don’t come with an airtight guarantee of success. We start contemplating change and find ourselves against the barrier of resistance. Resistance is a special case of avoidance. For instance, you may resist change because you expect to feel fear, vulnerability, or discomfort, resulting in turning away from the change you want to see. Step back, take a moment to ask yourself, “What purpose is my resistance serving me?” and “What am I avoiding, turning away from? What can I do to lean into the change and face my fear?” And remember: Life is change – growth is optional – choose wisely… step out, be curious, and have some fun with it!
