Maat E's Mental Health Message

What you give off is what you will get?

Many people live day in and day out frustrated by family members or friends who seem difficult,  mean, irritable and unkind. Many of us feel unhappy in our relationships because we perceive our mates as poor communicators, selfish or uncaring.

Before we can cast the blame on others we have to be lovingly critical of ourselves. It can be difficult, but we have to look in the mirror to see if we are in fact nurturing the negative. Ask yourself, am I being controlling, do I harshly judge, do I treat strangers better than my loved ones, will I curse out my own relative more quickly than someone I don't know? If the answer is yes you must first change your ways before blaming someone else. The energy you put out is what you will get back. Try approaching everyone, yourself included from a place of love and speak honestly yet lovingly no matter what you say. The stance you take can be the one to make the difference. 

Peace,

Dr. Ma'at E. L. Lewis
