MINDSET MONDAY

Your mindset shapes your reality 🌟

Choose positivity and resilience every day.

Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow, believe in your potential, and find gratitude in every moment.

Surround yourself with supportive relationships and focus on solutions, not problems.

A positive mindset is crucial for your well-being, as it reduces stress, enhances mental health, and improves overall physical health. Watch your life transform as you cultivate a growth mindset. Positive vibes only! 💪🏽✨

Mirror work is healing for the soul.

Who do you see staring back at you? 🪞

Show up as you always. Those that are meant to feel it will.

Fun Facts: I’m a hottie. A huge Megan fan!

I love her confidence and the fact that she shows up as herself unapologetically!!!!!

Anybody else excited for this tour?!?

My clients laugh and appreciate my transparency when I share the things I do outside of being a therapist. I’m a person just like y’all, and I love music. A good bop and a good time is me!!!! It’s so therapeutic!!! 😜

Authenticity is something that I am very passionate about. I love showing up as me. It’s so liberating.

I’m so proud of and I’m so excited to be front and center with all the hot girls! 🔥

With May being Mental Health Awareness Month it’s only right that I touch on Depression.

Check out these five effective ways to manage depression:

1. Professional Therapy

Engaging in therapy with a licensed mental health professional can provide valuable support and tools for managing depression. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and other forms of psychotherapy can help you understand and address the underlying causes of your depression, develop coping strategies, and change negative thinking patterns.

2. Regular Exercise

Physical activity is a powerful tool in managing depression. Regular exercise, particularly aerobic activities like walking, running, or cycling, can help boost mood by increasing the production of endorphins and serotonin, which are chemicals in the brain that help regulate mood. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.

3. Healthy Diet

Eating a balanced and nutritious diet can have a positive impact on your mood and energy levels. Incorporate a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your meals. Avoid excessive consumption of sugar and processed foods, as they can lead to mood swings and energy crashes.

4. Social Support

Maintaining strong social connections is important for mental health. Reach out to family, friends, or support groups to share your feelings and experiences. Talking to others who understand and care can provide emotional support and reduce feelings of isolation.

5. Mindfulness and Meditation

Practicing mindfulness and meditation can help reduce stress and improve your overall sense of well-being. Techniques such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation can help you stay present, manage anxiety, and improve your mood. Regular practice can lead to long-term benefits for mental health.

These strategies, when combined and tailored to your individual needs, can be effective in managing depression. It’s important to consult with healthcare professionals to create a comprehensive treatment plan that works best for you.

Learning how to calm my nervous system has been a game changer in managing my anxiety. This is something that I truly love exploring with those I work with.

Also books! 📖

If you’re in the Atlanta area on May 4th, join me at The Reset Fest and event by

The Reset Fest will feature meditation, panel discussion, and activations all focused on A MINDSET RESET.

Join myself, other wellness professionals, and find community as we celebrate relearning things that no longer serve us. 🎉

Grab a ticket in my bio and come say hey. 👋🏽

Communities provide support, understanding, and a sense of belonging, which can positively impact mental health.

They offer opportunities for:

🌱 Social Interaction
🌱Empathy
🌱Shared Experiences

This reduces feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Being part of a community can provide access to:

🌱 Resources and opportunities to network
🌱 Encouragement and support
🌱 A sense of purpose

These all contribute to overall love, support, and well-being.

Are you making time to building your relationships and grow your community?

Let’s get into burnout. I’m seeing burnout show up at alarming rates in the therapy room. The more we know the better.

Burnout is a serious issue that requires attention and proactive measures. By understanding its signs, causes, and preventive strategies, you can create a healthier and more sustainable approach to work and life.

Here are some the causes. Some ways to alleviate burnout are:

1. Take a Break: Step away from your routine to gain perspective and recharge.

2. Professional Help: Consider therapy or counseling to work through your feelings and develop coping strategies.

3. Rediscover Passions: Engage in activities you once loved, focusing on enjoyment rather than achievement.

4. Gradual Return: When returning to work or responsibilities, start gradually to avoid overwhelming yourself.

5. Reevaluate Goals: Reflect on your aspirations and adjust them to align with your well-being.

Just a little Sunday reminder:

“You Can”

Scarcity vs Abundance Mindset

How are you thinking?!? 💭

Those came up a lot this week in therapy so it’s only right that I share this post again.

A scarcity mindset focuses on limitations and believes there’s never enough.

Abundance mindset sees opportunities and believes in plenty for everyone. It’s about perception and approach to life’s challenges and resources.

Some I ask again how are you thinking about the possibilities of your life?!?

Box breathing, also known as square breathing, is a relaxation technique used to calm the mind and body.

It involves taking slow, deep breaths in four equal parts:

Inhale, hold, exhale, hold.

Each phase typically lasts for a count of four, hence the term “box” breathing.

This method can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote a sense of calmness and focus.

Have you tried breathwork techniques to calm your nerves system and reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress?

If so which is your favorite?!?

Are your goals realistic?

On Sundays we reflect and express much gratitude. I love looking back at this first photoshoot as a reminder of how far I’ve come.

thank you for growing with me.

Entrepreneurship has been a ride!!!!! I’m so grateful for the ups, the downs, the successes, and the many lessons that it brings!!!

I’m also so very grateful for the people I get to create safe spaces for and walk with in their journey of life and living!!!

Survival

Is something I know all too well in this thing called life!

Luckily I’ve been able to use what I’ve learned to move from survival to a flourishing state and take my power back!

Education and life lessons have definitely prepared me to be able to do the work that I do. I’m grateful for it all!

I’ve shared this post before but I wanted to share it again!

Depression shows up differently for everyone, especially Black Women.

If you or someone you know is experiencing more than a few symptoms on this list, please know that you are not alone.

Check on your strong friends. Talk to someone. See a professional.

One thing I’ve noticed this year is community is needed right more than ever right now.

Tap in. ❤️

Why I specialize in Holistic Mental Health 🧘🏽‍♀️🩷

Holistic mental health care takes a comprehensive approach to well-being, considering the whole person.

Some benefits of this approach include:

1. Addressing root causes: It aims to identify and treat the underlying causes of mental health issues, not just the symptoms.

2. Integrating mind and body: Holistic care acknowledges the connection between mental and physical health, promoting overall wellness.

3. Customized treatment: It tailors therapies and interventions to an individual’s unique needs and preferences.

4. Emphasizing prevention: By focusing on wellness and prevention, it can help individuals maintain good mental health.

5. Promoting self-care: Holistic care encourages individuals to actively participate in their well-being through lifestyle changes and self-care practices.

6. Supporting long-term recovery: It can foster lasting improvements by addressing multiple aspects of one’s life, such as nutrition, exercise, and social connections.

7. Enhancing quality of life: Holistic mental health care can lead to improved overall quality of life, including better relationships and work-life balance.

8. Reducing reliance on medication: In some cases, it may reduce the need for medication or complement medication with alternative therapies.

9. Encouraging mindfulness: Holistic approaches often incorporate mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques to promote emotional balance.

10. Empowering individuals: It empowers individuals to take an active role in their mental health and well-being, fostering self-efficacy and resilience.

Overall, holistic mental health care considers the multidimensional nature of mental well-being and offers a more comprehensive and personalized approach to achieving and maintaining good mental health.

Issa Virtual Retreat for healers!

As women who help and heal, it is so important that we prioritize the practices that help us release, self-regulate, and connect with ourselves.
