Maat E's Mental Health Message

Maybe God is trying to tell you something?

Often we get signs providing indications of important information. In turn we may question, ignore, reflect or take action on the message. More often we respond with the former two, when we need to react with the latter two. When our Higher power and/or inner wisdom is telling us something we must listen, trust the process, reflect, and then act.
Have a peaceful day.

Maat E's Mental Health Message

Use your energy level as your guide!

How are you feeling today? Energetic, tired, restless, alert? Our energy level can tell us a lot about our lives and what we are doing or not on any given day in terms of self-care. It can also give an indication to chronic health problems such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies or slowly developing disease. Living with awareness of how we feel and then taking action to address what we become aware of is critical to having a vibrant life of health and vitality. Pay attend to how you feel and take time to act on it.
Have a peaceful day.

Maat E's Mental Health Message

When our bodies are physically healthy we are more likely to be mentally healthy. For example, when you have a cold you may feel more irritable. Being ill can make otherwise small issues seem like a big deal. We are thus less able to respond or cope effectively. This makes the physical and mental problem more difficult to overcome.

When an illness is long term or chronic our risk of serious mental distress is even higher. The mild blues can turn into prolonged sadness, depession and anxiety. When we see these signs it is time to take notice and ask for help. We may need a jump start to restore the coping strategies that usually help like social support, prayer, meditation, medical advice, better exercise, nutrition and so on. The key point is not to over look when we are not feeling like ourselves and to ask for support and seek out help.

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'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.

Peace,

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.
Peace, Maat E. L. Lewis

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
