Maat E's Mental Health Message

Learn to accept help.

Some of us have difficulty accepting help from other people. When they tell us they are going to do something we say okay, but instead of letting them follow through we step in and try to do it ourselves because we don't expect the person will come through. In some cases that may be the outcome and we will be disappointed. However it is not because we fear disappoint that we jump to do things ourselves. It is because we need to be in control. Having control leaves us with the false perception that we can dictate the outcome of life's events. It is actually through surrendering to the flow of life that we experience a greater sense of control. This form of control is not over outcomes, but over our emotions. So surrendering by letting someone help you actually can free you from worry, thus increasing control over yourself to deal with whatever result happens in a situation. Practice accepting help from others, surrender to the flow of life and gain control over yourself.

Peace,

Maat E's Mental Health Message

Remember your neighbors.

Sometimes we get so busy with life that we fail to remember the people next door. We all need to know that someone is thinking of us, looking out for our interests (like property) or cares about our well-being. When we don't remember the people closest to us they might as well be far away. We may take for granted that they are right next door and when it comes time to needing them it is like asking a stranger for help. Take time to pay attention and think about the people closest to you. One day you may need the neighbor next door.

Peace,
Dr. Ma'at E. L. Lewis

Maat E's Mental Health Mesage

There is no need to worry. Everything you need to know will be revealed to you. A great deal of our stress comes from worrying about the future and what may happen or stressing about something in the past that we can do nothing about. When we are connected to our sense of Spirit an inner wisdom and intuition is activated. It allows us to receive or notice things that we need in order to cope and deal with life. Do not worry. Ask for clarity and all that you need to be revealed to you.
Peace

Dr. Ma'at E. L. Lewis
