Got sixty seconds take a mental health minute to learn about depression disorders. They
0:12
cause symptoms that affect how you feel, how you think, and how you

handle it alone or treat it with alcohol or illegal drugs. Treatments include psychotherapy
0:31
or talk therapy, medication, and sometimes brain stimulation therapy. These treatments may
0:38
also be used in combination with one another. If you think you might have

7:08
I'm not coming to you guys as a professional. I'm coming to you from
7:12
someone that has experienced this, y'all. We we we we actually wrote a

8:48
we want you to post that in the comments section so that they can
8:52
be shared out so the individuals can be able to contact you guys. So
8:56
before I jump into this, for those that do not know who I am,
9:01
I am, of course the visionary of the Crew podcast. I am
9:05
Queen Angela Thomas, known as the Queen of Collaboration aka the Purpose Pusher.
9:13
I tell you I am excited every time I get an opportunity to come from
9:18
behind the scenes and to come out and share a little bit. Again,
9:24
this is not my expertise. It's just sharing from my experience and the things
9:28
that I have done and things that people around me have done and incorporated into
9:33
their lives. Because these we're sharing from experience. We're not telling you nothing
9:39
that we have not been through. These are our experiences, these are our
9:43
truth, this is our life. So we're just giving your perspective. You
9:48
can take the nuggets and apply them to your life accordingly. Everything may not
9:52
work for you. Your situation may may not be like these situations over here.
9:56
So we want you to be able to be comfortable where you are and
10:01
to be able to do the things that you need to do. So today
10:05
I come before you with a crucial topic that needs our univided detention mental health.
10:13
Of course, I am a suicide attempt of liver. For far too
10:20
long, mental health have been stigmatized and neglected in our society. It is
10:28
time for us to shatter the silence, to break down the barriers, and
10:33
to have an open conversation and discussion about the importance of mental well being.
10:39
We can't continue to ignore the fact that mental health effect millions of people worldwide,
10:46
regardless of age, gender, race, or social status. It is
10:54
reality that we must confront it head on and address it with compassion, understanding,
11:03
and empathy. We must recognize that mental health is not just aaa,
11:11
not just a illness, but it's just as important as our physical health.
11:16
We talk about and we advocate for cancer, diabetes, sickle cell and these
11:24
various things, but we don't advocate for our mental health. Our blind is
11:31
just as important as our bodies. It requires care, nurture, and attention.
11:39
We must strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable
11:48
to seek help, to share their struggles, and to receive the report that
11:52
they need. Let us educate ourselves and others about mental health, raise awareness,
12:03
and eradicate the misconceptions and the mint surrounding it. Let us advocate for
12:11
accessibility and affordable mental health resources and services to all. Let us stand for
12:18
solidarity with those who are battling mental health and show that they are not alone.
12:26
Together, we can break the silence and the stigma that surround mental health.
12:33
Together, we can create a society that values and prioritize mental health and
12:46
well being. Let's start the conversation. Let's listen to each other. Let's
12:52
support one another on our journeys towards mental wellness. It's time to break the
12:58
stigma. It's time to talk about mental health. Together, we can create
13:03
a society that values and prioritize life. Let's work out and let's be compassion
13:16
for each other. Remember, mental health is just as important as physical health,
13:22
So let's talk about normalizing mental health and wellness daily. We need to
13:31
take a proactive and intentional approach. Here are some ways that we can start,
13:37
and I jotted down some ways that we can do this. We day.
13:46
There's seven steps that there are seven different steps that we're going to talk
13:50
about. I broke them down and as a matter of fact, there's five
13:56
that we're going to talk about. Educate and awareness, open dialogue, deff
14:03
care practice, setting boundaries which some of us don't know how to do,
14:09
support systems, and advocate in actions. The first education and awareness, And
14:16
I said I was gonna be loan, so I gotta speed up, y'all
14:20
because I got nineteen minutes. We need to educate ourselves and others about mental
14:24
health. That include understanding the coming mental health conditions, recognizing science and symptoms,
14:31
and learning about available resources and support services. By increasing awareness, we
14:35
can reduce the stigma and create a more understanding and supportive community. Two open
14:43
dourlgue. We need to encourage open and honest conversation about mental health. We
14:50
need to talk openly about open experiences, share struggles, and listen, listen
14:58
to others. We can break down those bearers instickness and show that it's okay
15:05
to not be okay. By normalizing the conversation, we can create a safe
15:11
space for people to seek help and support. Remember, create a safe place
15:18
where people can have support and help. We can normalize the conversation. We
15:26
can have these conversations on a daily basis, y'all. It's not just talk
15:31
about it sometimes. Let's talk about it all the time. Number three,
15:37
Self care practice. Prioritize in self care and mental wellness in our daily routines
15:46
is essential. This is including activities such as exercising, meditation, journaling,
15:52
and spending time and nature or engaging in hobbies that bring us joy. By
15:58
taking care our own mental well being, we set a positive example for others
16:03
to show the importance of self care. Self care is one of those things
16:07
that I've been hyping on. I really been on that thing because I realized
16:14
that I have too. I've been preaching it, but have I been doing
16:18
it too? Off the time we talk about care, what are we really
16:22
doing self care? We talk about it. So it's mental Health Awareness Month.
16:29
It's some more things that being celebrated this month too, but I'm focusing
16:33
on mental health awareness because it's affecting a lot of people. Because every time
16:37
I turn on a TV, somebody has has has murdered, some they have
16:44
they murdered somebody and killed themselves, Like, why would you take three babies
16:48
lives and then take your life? And these not even your babies? Why
16:51
would you take somebody else's babies? And then you leave your child here and
16:55
then you lead the mother here and then she got the more the loss of
16:59
her three keys, and then she got to raise your child. Like who
17:06
does that? And what was going on in that person's mind? And how
17:10
did nobody not see what was going on? And this is this is happening
17:15
a lot, This has happened, happening in a lot of situations. You're
17:22
looking at individuals. As a case in Texas right now, a lady killed
17:26
a mother and a daughter. Why over an argument that your grown child had
17:30
with a seventeen year old Now, this seventeen year old child, she her
17:36
baby got to be raised with die her mama and without her grandmama. So
17:41
you just ruin whole three lives, three families, because you got two generations
17:48
that that's been affected right there, y'all. So what is really going on
17:55
with our mental or are we taking care of ourselves? Are we allowing these
17:59
things to build up on the inside and allow them to overtake us and overtake
18:03
all your emotions, and then we don't have control of our emotions. Like
18:07
I keep expressing how important it is to have these feelings and to allow these
18:15
feelings to come out and to express these feelings. But no matter what emotion
18:19
you're going through, no matter where you are, just don't stay that alone.
18:22
Know how to go through it, to experience it and learn from it.
18:27
That's why you need to journal what you're experiencing, what you're thinking,
18:30
your thoughts. Y'all. As I'm walking, I'm journaling. I'm keeping track
18:37
of my walking progress. Even the days that I'm not walking, I'm writing,
18:41
and I'm being honest, I'm writing why I didn't walk, and I'm
18:45
journaling my feelings. And at the end of this, who knows. I
18:49
may put it in a book, I may talk about it. Who knows.
18:52
But I'm letting these things out. And I tell you, sometimes it
18:59
may not seem like it is going a lot, but it is really doing
19:02
a lot. And then as we go into these different things, we're number
19:07
three. We just I just read you about self care practice. So I'm
19:11
gonna go into self care because self care is one of my things. And
19:15
again I say, we just dropped a poetry book, y'all. We just
19:19
dropped y'all. May not can't see it on Facebook, and but here it
19:23
is. We just dropped this poetry book. In the back of this poetry
19:26
book is nothing but exercises things that you can do to work on Look TikTok
19:36
look exercises. You can journal, you can work on different things around your
19:42
You got journaling. I mean, after you read this poetry and engage in
19:47
this poetry, this poetry is gonna inside your mind and it's gonna talk about
19:52
it's gonna the back of it is gonna talk about self care and applying these
19:56
different things, y'all. I got a whole planner over here that that just
20:00
you can just go through and just pick activities and just put activities together and
20:04
plan how you gonna self care. Y'all. It's important that you get some
20:11
type of routine, like I was saying. And we've been walking, and
20:14
we may not been walking every day, but like I said, I've been
20:17
journaling keeping up with what I've been doing. I didn't even get a half
20:21
a mile in today because I really didn't. I really didn't walk. I
20:23
just walked around some stores. That's it. I didn't go out and walk,
20:26
y'all. The weather's kind of bad. And I'm not gonna blame on
20:30
the weather because the other day, y'all know, when I went out,
20:32
it was it was about the store. But then it didn't storm. But
20:37
I was able to do three and a half miles or two and a half
20:41
miles, however long it was. But self care, getting a routine,
20:45
something that worked for you, even if it's just walking ten minutes, spending
20:49
that time in nature, because I tell you, I was out there and
20:53
the whole time, you know, the clouds went away and then it started
20:57
getting high, and then it was like it was a breeze with me the
21:00
whole time I was there. It's like God just wrapped his arms around me.
21:03
It's just nothing like being out in nature, y'all and experiencing that that
21:10
connection and being one is with yourself and you get to be by yourself.
21:14
There's nobody out there but you and nature, that the spirit that be.
21:18
That's it. So you get that opportunity. So daily self care is essential,
21:25
y'all. I told y'all, I got twelve minutes, because eight thirty
21:26
I'm gone. Daily self care is essential. For maintaining good mental health,
21:30
reducing strength and has an overhauled well being. Taking care of yourself on a
21:37
regular basis can help you feel more balanced, energized, resilience and face of
21:42
life challenges. Here are seven ways to incorporate self care into your daily routine.
21:48
Prioritize sleep. Make sure to get an adequate amount of quality sleep each
21:52
night. Ain't for seven to nine hours of sleep to allow your body in
21:57
mind to rest and recharge. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, such as reading
22:03
a book or taking a warm bath to help you unwind and prepare for sleep.
22:07
Two. Move your body regularly. Physical activity is crucial for both your
22:14
physical and mental health. Incorporate exercise into your daily routine, whether it's going
22:19
for a walk, taking a yoga class, or dancing to your favorite music.
22:26
Exercise releases and endoorance. Y'all know that that's like I think they say,
22:36
that's like what that feeling you get when you get high, so and
22:41
that feeling you get when you have accomplished something. So it releases that when
22:47
you exercise, which can improve your mood and reduce it stress. Y'all.
22:51
Three, practice mindfulness. Take time each day to be present and mindful.
22:56
This can include practice and meditation, debreases, X signs, or simply taking
23:00
a few moments to focus on your surrounding and sensation. Mindfulness can help reduce
23:07
anxiety, increase self awareness, and promote relaxation, y'all, just a few
23:11
minutes a day, just a few minutes today. You can do it in
23:15
your car, while you on your lunch break. You can do it sitting
23:18
at your desk, while you just waiting in between your customers, your whatever,
23:23
your clients, or whatever it is that you're service. Y'all. A
23:27
lot of these things we can incorporate within what we do every day. Also,
23:34
eating nutritious food. Fuel your body with nutritious food that nourish your mind
23:41
and body. Aim to increase the variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains,
23:47
lean proteins, if you want that healthy facts in your in your meal,
23:52
eat a Ballanced diet can boost your energy level, improve your mood,
23:56
and support overall health. I'm with the fruit invents and increasing the amount of
24:02
fruit and vegetable and take will help schedule me time five, schedule me time
24:10
again, schedule me time, ParvE our time in your daily schedule daily.
24:15
That means every single day, not just when you off, not just when
24:21
you just know, every single day, every single day for any activity that
24:30
brings you joy and relaxation, y'all, the little thing may bring you joy,
24:33
The littlet thing may relax you. So if it's just having you a
24:37
glass of wine before you go to sleep at night and sitting in a in
24:42
a in a bubble bath, and if that brings you jaw and that relaxes
24:47
you, take an extra ten minutes to do that every day. Now,
24:52
it doesn't take a whole lot you. You gotta take a bath anyway,
24:55
You gotta take a shower anyway. So why not take that extra step to
25:00
to satisfy that extra that that extra thing about you, that that gonna help
25:04
you in the long run. Because as we continue to build on this,
25:10
and as we continue to grow, y'all, this becomes routine, This will
25:15
come natural, This becomes a part of your lifestyle, This becomes you HM
25:23
spend time in nature, y'all. Just make time for that activity so that
25:29
you can be recharged and make you happy. Make you happy. You you
25:33
hear that that magic word make you happy? Six Connect with others. I
25:41
like this on y'all because I I write on this all the time. It's
25:45
say connect with others. I'm gonna repeat that for the person that may not
25:52
have hurt me. Connect TikTok, connect with others, Facebook, connect with
25:59
others, LinkedIn, connect with others. You too, connect with others.
26:07
Not everybody, connect with others. Remember you not on this journey by yourself.
26:11
You don't have to do this alone, y'all. A lot of time
26:17
we care more than we need to carry. And y'all, a lot of
26:21
the stuff that I'm talking about, I had to go through this. I
26:23
had to experience this, I had to learn myself, and some of it
26:26
I'm still learning. Some of this are every day every day. I have
26:30
to go through this. So connect with others. Social connections are important for
26:37
mental health and well being. Take time to connect with friends, family and
26:41
members, family members or loved ones each day. Each day, y'all,
26:47
connect with somebody each day, even it's just by a brief phone call,
26:51
a video chat, a test message. Building and maintaining relationships can improve support
26:56
and comfort in a sense of belonging, y'all. Providing that support gets it
27:03
for me, Providing that support gets it for me. I'm gonna say that
27:08
again. Providing that support gets it for me. But see number seven is
27:14
what causes a lot of people people to not want to do number six.
27:19
And I get it, but I understand. You just got to understand how
27:23
to do it, and that is setting boundaries. Establishing boundaries to protect your
27:32
time, your energy, and your well being. Learning to say no to
27:37
activities or commitments that drain you or causes you stress. Set limits on your
27:42
work hours, screen time, and or other aspects of your life that may
27:48
be overwhelming. And certain boundaries can prevent burnout and promote self care. That's
27:55
important, y'all. Boundaries are important, so make sure that you incorporating that
28:00
as well. Incorporating these seven things, these seven self care practices into your
28:07
daily routine can help you prioritize your well being. It can create a healthier,
28:15
more balanced lifestyle for you. Remember, self care is not selfish.
28:21
It is essential to maintain your mental and physical health. Start small, pick
28:27
a few self care practices that resonate with you, and gradually incorporate them into
28:34
your daily routine. By taking care of yourself, you can better show up
28:41
for others and navigate life's challenges. With resilience and positivity. Y'all stay taking
28:51
care of yourself and then you'll be able to do that that God is,
28:53
that God has purposed you to do for others. So if you take care,
29:00
yeah, you first, he gonna make sure that everything else is taken
29:03
care of. So y'all back to the main four topics, I mean the
29:10
main topics. We are on number four now. That was a breakdown of
29:15
self care. If you're just coming on, go back check out the self
29:21
care section. I'm telling you this, It's gonna be some things that you're
29:23
gonna want to grasp and jot down and take with you. For support systems,
29:30
building a strong support system is crucial for mental health. This can include
29:33
friends, family members, therapists, support groups, or online community. By
29:37
surrounding yourself with people that's understanding and supporter, we can create a network of
29:47
care and compassion people that will help you navigate in difficult times and improve yourself,
29:53
your self and your mental well being. Five Advocacy and action. We
30:00
can actively advocate mental health awareness and support systems in our community that can involve
30:07

30:22
mental health and promote a culture of wellness and support. By incorporating these strategies
30:30
into our daily lives, we can begin to normalize mental health and wellness and
30:36
create a more compassionate and understanding society. Let's prioritize mental health and enjoy our
30:45
health every day and work together to build a community that values and support mental
30:52
health and our physical health. I want to thank you guys for tuning in

35:31
disorders. They cause symptoms that affect how you feel, how you think,
35:38
and how you handle daily life. Depression should be treated by health professionals,
35:45
don't try to handle it alone or treat it with alcohol or illegal drugs.
35:52
Treatments include psychotherapy or talk therapy, medication, and sometimes brain stimulation therapy.
36:00
These treatments may also be used in combination with one another. If you think
36:04
you might have depression, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or
36:07
health care provider. The earlier treatment begins, the more effective it is.
