Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Friday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Top 10 Mental Health Tips
This week we are going to speak about my favorite tips for overcoming regular, everyday struggles we all deal with at some point that is related to our mental health.
Join me in going over my favorite top 10 tips for getting through some of the biggest life struggles.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- Number 1, Think Before You Speak. This is something I have been trying to remind myself before I say anything, really, but especially when I am upset & angry.
- Number 2, Take A Time Out. If you truly feel like you cannot keep any negative words to yourself, take a moment away to yourself to calm down.
- Number 3, Make Sure You’re Using Statements that Identify Your Feelings, Not Theirs. Using ‘I” statements are important when you are sharing how you are feeling & how whatever happened has affected you.
- Number 4, Don’t Pretend You Aren’t Angry. Hiding your anger is not going to help the situation or make anything better. Just deal with it as soon as you can, move through your feelings & move forward.
- Number 5, Try to Learn Your Warning Signs. If you are able to identify when you are about to get angry, it will be a lot easier to get yourself calm or figure out what’s wrong & move past it sooner. Warning signs that you’re about to be angry could be: Pounding Heart, Sweating, Clenched Hands, Raised Voice or Being Snappy.
- Number 6, Channel the Energy Into A Workout. A lot of times getting into some sort of workout will help you release or even mentally work through your anger.
- Number 7, Do Something You Immensely Enjoy. Another way to take your mind away from the initial burst of energy & craziness you may feel when you are just beginning to feel your anger is to do something you really enjoy. Whether that be a hobby you love, taking your dog for a walk, those adult coloring books or dancing. Just choose something you know you always have a great time doing and change your mindset for a bit to gain a different perspective on what you are feeling.
- Number 8, Confrontation Can Work, Too. If your anger is towards someone that has wronged you, I think it would be fine to speak with them about it, but you must do it calmly. If you are able to have a conversation without raising your voice, saying ugly or accusing words, then talk to the person about how you feel & figure out what needs to happen to move forward.
- Number 9, Talk With Someone You Trust About Why You’re Angry. Sometimes speaking with someone, whether it be a friend, & partner or a counselor can help you put everything out on the table & figure what you’re truly feeling, if it’s deeper than the surface anger you are experiencing, & figure out a solution from there.
- Number 10, Don’t Hold Grudges. Don’t allow yourself to be taken hostage by your own bitterness developed from allowing the negative feelings to crowd out any positive ones. Choose to forgive & move on. Not forgiving is like drinking poison & expecting the offender to get sick & die. But instead it will always be you, because you’re the one choosing to hold onto the offense & pain.
