Maat E's Mental Health Message

Everyone has a spiritual process.

Being in a spiritual process is when we either consciously or unconsciously experience a series of actions or events relating to or affecting our spirit or soul. For most people in society this process goes on unnoticed and we are unaware that our spirit is being affected by the daily events that go on around us. When we are unconscious of our spiritual process we tend to miss the opportunity to witness not only mystical events, but the miraculous changes that come when we are conscious. Being  conscious and aware of our spiritual process means honoring the most sacred essence of who we are and trusting that everything is in divine order, even when we can't explain it.  Trusting divine order does not mean we do not take action to make things change, it means we trust that the actions we take will lead to the change that is necessary. This is very difficult when we don't see life as a spiritual process, yet, holding the trust becomes easier and easier the more we acknowledge we are on a spiritual path.

Maat E's Mental Health Message

Expect a miracle and it will more likely appear. Deny a miracle and it will never be true. Life has many miracles to offer but if we do not expect them or worse yet if we deny them when they occur we will not be able to reap their benefit. Trust in the wonders of life and live with the expectation that miracles and your dreams can come true.  

You have to believe it to manifest it.

Maat E's Mental Health Message

Turn worry in to work!

Anxiety and worry can be a natural response to the stress and demands of everyday life. For some of us the worry can become overwhelming and we become stuck or paralyzed so to speak. We may begin to procrastinate, which is essentially worry plus avoidance. To combat what can become a difficult obstacle we must start to turn the worry in to work. Use the anxiety or fear to motivate yourself with activity. Start with small things or what you worry about the least.  Working on what is pressing will get the most important thing done, but you may not be ready yet. So work on what worries you the least. That will keep you productive and feeling a sense accomplishment even though you are afraid to address what is most important.  The negative emotions can be used for good. 

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