Ma'at E's Mental Health Message:

If your spirit tells you so, listen!

From the smallest task to life's greatest work, focus on the present and do what your spirit is calling you to do now. This way of being can help act against procrastination and putting things off until another moment or day. Your spirit needs to express itself in the simplest and most grand ways. When we are in touch with the core of our being life unfolds and we know exactly what to do. If you need to get in-touch with your own sense of spirit, spend time in quiet reflection or meditation. Guidance and direction will come. Keep returning to the reflection until spirit speaks.
Have a peaceful day.
Ma'at E. L. Lewis

Ma'at E's Mental Health Message:

See your success, then be your success!

Before we accomplish most things in life we need to know that there is something to achieve. Having a vision of what is to come can increase it's likelihood of arrival; however, the picture of our success does not need to be perfect. Sensing your vision with your heart is as powerful as creating a vision in your mind. So, start seeing or feeling your success.
Peace, Ma'at E. L. Lewis

Ma'at E's Mental Health Message:

Many of us may not know this, but the brain is capable of restructuring itself. Research tells us that when we have physical injuries like strokes or trauma to the head for example, it is possible for the brain to create new pathways in order to reinstate functioning. The same can occur when we have emotional disorder or trauma. Through healing and practice new pathways for emotional response or behavior change can occur. Of course there is no magic pill or potion to make these things occur and change may not happen for everyone. However, with time and sometimes a miracle change comes. Have faith wounds can heal; behaviors can change; thinking can shift.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:

Use brain power so you don't loose brain power! It is estimated that we humans use only ten percent of our brain's capacity. In fact, the more we use the brain the more capable it is of being used effectively. This is one reason for challenging ourselves or having high expectations for our children and giving them the chance to practice their skills. As we use the mind we are conditioning it. Similarly, when we do physical exercise and we become physically stronger. When we exercise our thinking we get mentally strong. So make time to read a book, solve a puzzle, learn something new. Your brain will be better for it.
Have a day full of mental exercise.

Ma'at E's Mental Health Message

Create a vision, view it often and live it every day. Having a purpose in life or vision with a clear picture of where you want life to go is a powerful means of getting you there. To succeed, we need to know what we want with clarity and true belief that we will get it. We must also recognize any fear that resides in us, acknowledge it and move forward with the vision anyway. Life can unfold with miraculous gifts of exactly what we need or want. When we have vision it helps to move things along the way.
Have a peaceful day.

Ma'at E's Mental Health Message:

One of the great benefits of the turn of the new year is the chance we have to learn new knowledge. The beginning of the year is a reminder that life is ever evolving and that we can restart and renew by seeking to gain new information. Reflect on what in life needs attention and in what way do you need to grow. Whatever you want and need to know, now is as good a time as any to make steps to gain the information you need. Have a year full of wisdom and knowledge.

Peace

Maat E's Mental Health Message:

Ujima: Collective Work & Responsibility

Working collectively comes from each of us taking responsibility for our own unique contribution to what needs to be done. Each of us has a role to play and the more time we spend focusing on cultivating our craft or contribution the more prepared we will be to get the job done. By taking responsibility for our part we can contribute to the greater whole and good. Sometimes we get worried about how we will ever be able to make improvements in our community. We ask ourselves, how will we possibly change all that needs improvement and healing in our community? Through working collectively and taking responsibility for the part we contribute to the greater good, anything can be accomplished in time.

Peace,
