Maat E's Mental Health Message

Start everyday counting your blessings!

Often, we wake up with worry on our minds. It is natural to feel concerned about our stress and the woes of the world. It can be very difficult at times to combat such stress, but a little thanks for our blessings can cure a lot of ills. This approach is more effective if it is done everyday and can be twice as powerful if we share our thanks with family and friends. For example start the day telling family you are glad to be with them. If you recently had a loss give thanks for the memories. Life gets better when we can count our blessings.

Peace,

Maat E's Mental Health Message

Resentment is the root of relationship evil which is readily cured by forgiveness and love.

Within family relationships we sometimes hold resentment that influences us to treat our kin worse than we would treat a stranger. The more resentment we hold on to we become blinded to having compassion and being forgiving of the people in our own home. Readily many of us run out and do things for others or show a good face outside the home. Yet when we turn our own front door key we are at a loss for kind words or loving thought. Remember love requires us to be patient and kind.

Peace, Maat E. L. Lewis

Maat E's Mental Health Massage

Keep the gift of life in perspective.

It is so easy to get busy being concerned about what we "have" to do that we over look the stress and toll it has on us. Life is a fragile gift that can so quickly be taken away. Therefore, it serves us best to keep the gift of life in perspective as our most important priority. Making life the top concern can mean caring for our physical, mental and spiritual well being and the wellness of those we love above all else. Slow down, put life in perspective.
Peace, Maat E. L. Lewis
