Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Pay close attention to flashes of insight. Because everything is energy and we have the capacity to connect through it, we are capable of receiving flashes of insight about various situations in life. The challenge is to pay attention to the momentary bits of information that come our way. When this happens, listen, follow-up or just wait, etc. Wherever the glimpse of insight guides us, it is okay to follow it. Taking such action can affirm our trust and belief within ourselves and the connection we have to something bigger than us.
May you have a loving and peaceful day.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Honor your Self today. Very often we can get caught up in being angry and frustrated over someone not treating us with respect. A little well placed anger may get the attention or desired behavior we want, but we can't count on it with any certainty. What we can rely on is controling our own behavior and directing energy toward doing those things that honor us. For example, removing ourselves from hurtful people and circumstanes, choosing our battles, focusing on what is important to us and the people we love, giving time and energy where it reasonates with our soul and not where we feel obligation. The key to honoring thyself is making it a conscious choice.
Have a peaceful day.

Ma'at E's Mental Health Message:
Our ancestors of good character are waiting and ready in the unseen world to help us. In traditional African spiritual systems, ancestors are valued as unseen guides and supports to our journey in this life. When we ask for their guidance they are able to respond and help make a way through our troubles. Accessing this help is as simple as silently reflecting on those good & loving spirits to act on our behalf. Have faith in what can not always be seen, but can be known in our hearts.
Have a peaceful day.

Maat E's Mental Health Method:
Having emotional faith is like possessing physical stamina. With either one there is power and strength. In fact, building physical stamina supports strengthening our faith and vice versa. This works so much so that the ability to endure either physical or mental challenge can be overcome no matter which method you use, and overcoming obstacles will be even easier if we use both.
Find a personal method for building stamina or faith and integrate both together to build up strength.
Have a peaceful day.
Ma'at E. Lewis, Ph.D.
