Dr. Radi sh a Brow n There?s nothing more important than your mental health. But what is mental health? It is how we think, feel and act! We all have stress in our lives to include relationship issues and experiences with negative people but mental health is just how we process life. We are all affected in some way.

MENTAL HEALTH IS JUST HOW YOU PROCESS LIFE! Your mental health is impacting your ability to function, to form relationships, to do the things that you normally do.

Now you probably ask yourself: ?Do I need to seek out help? Is there something wrong with me? How do I identify if I am in need of help for my mental health?? Well, everybody needs a mental health check-up. There?s no exclusion to mental health, there?s no ?Hey, I live in this house I?m not affected, I have this degree I?m not affected?. There?s no way to tell from your look if you need help. You might look completely professional and all put together but you carry so many things, you are a mess on the inside.

If you have experienced a trauma then you are feeling a heavy weight on your back that affects everything. From how you see yourself, how you feel, how you eat and it affects your health. It affects every aspect of your life! Once you are ready to deal with that trauma, to deal with that emotional pain, and thatbaggage that you have been carrying around for so many years, you will be able to find balance again. We need balance in our lives, in our minds, in our spirit.

WE NEED MENTAL BALANCE! Unfortunately, in our community, there?s a stigma attached to getting mental health treatment and a belief that there?s something wrong with you. The advice you may receive is to just go and ?pray about it?. This false belief comes from history. Back then you were only allowed to talk to the pastor. So you are conflicted. You are going through all this trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression and then you were told you can?t talk about it. And it?s even more conflicting being a black woman because you got told you?re too strong to get a mental illness, you?re too strong to get depression. You are a superhero and you are immune to mental illness, and in the end, it?s killing you! Let me tell you this: You don?t have to be Superwoman all the time. You don?t have to act like you have it all together all the time.

You are a human being; you have emotions and you are connected to those emotions. So allow yourself an opportunity to express those emotions. You learn, you develop; you expand over time. The great secret about your mind and your mindset is that you can change it over time. Just because you don?t have the right tools in the beginning, doesn?t mean that you never have the right tools. That?s a what therapy does, it helps you to develop the right tools.

With daily affirmation, you fill up yourself with positive statements and fill up your mental tank.

Because by just living life there?s going to be negative experiences, there?s going to be frustration at work, there?s going to be frustration with your kids, with your spouse. You need to have gas in your tank to get down the highway.

One of the probably most powerful affirmations is the ?I am affirmation?. Tell yourself every day when waking up I AM ENOUGH Because so often you feel inadequate, or you feel you need to change who you are. You need to change your hair, you need to change your weight, you need to change your skin color. Or you think you need to be taller. Just state to yourself every day I AM ENOUGH! I am enough in my image, in the way God created me. I am enough to live this life and to be on a journey that is planned for me. Think about what you want to speak over yourself daily, you can make it as personal as you want. I am more. I am confident. I am wise. Do you feel how POWERFUL that is!

CHANGE YOUR MIND AND YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE! The most important relationship you ever going to have in your entire life is the relationship with yourself. Because it affects how you deal with relationships with other people, it affects who you choose to be your life partner, it affects the jobs you choose, it affects whether or not you go after that promotion, whether or not you open that business, go to school, etc. EVERY aspect of our lives is affected by your mind. With changing about how you think about, you will shift not only your thoughts, you shift your energy and you shift your whole life!
