GRID Wellness Wednesday: WELLNESS CHECK IN-Really, How Are You?

Hi guys! How are you today?" "Yes! you.  I see you. So really, how are you today?"

Let me start first by saying, today I feel peaceful because I made a choice to let the Lord carry my worries. Philippians 4:6-7-KJV says, "Lord, I bring my fear and worry to you.  Guard my heart and mind with your peace that goes beyond our human understanding."

Welcome to GRID Holistic Living Wellness Wednesday. Coach Adasa and I are having a conversation about our mental well-being.  So, let's google What's Mental Health? According to (WHO) World Health Organization, Mental Health is "a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn and work well, and contribute to their community.  It has intrinsic and instrumental value and is a basic human right."

Fostering a Healthy Mental Day

Now that we have a sense of Mental Health from the (WHO) World Health Organization today I would like to talk about having an open conversation with yourself. The world is constantly evolving and sadly to say, some of the changes may impact us differently whether positively or negatively.  However, our responses are what determines our peace or a negative climate can determine or set your mental health for most of the day. 1Peter 5:7 "I throw all my anxiety onto You. Lord, because I know you care for me." I choose to start my morning with a prayer because I know that I will be armored to deal with daily challenges from a more positive lens because I know that I don't have to show up or entertain every conversation.  Therefore, I say choose things that bring you peace!!

PERSPECTIVE!

Start by choosing yourself and a great way to do so is knowing when to exit negative conversations. For example you can say, "I will make my exit now and do have a lovely day!" This statement is powerful in itself. You are able to break free from the negativity that is capable of drawing you closer to a lose-lose situation. Upon exiting with grace, you a lot yourself more time your bestie, YOU! This move is the perfect time to enjoy your own company and realize how cool you really are!!  

Tips for Wellness Check In

• Be present and enjoy holistic living; it's your treat or gift to you.

• Pray and ask God to show you the way.

Final Words of Inspiration

To gracefully exit, Psalm136 comes to mind. "Thank God for his mercy.  For his mercy endures forever." Until my next contribution, thank you for listening with an open heart and be sure to share your thoughts.
