Are you mentally healthy? Do your thoughts positively impact your life and the lives around you? Does your behavior uplift or destroy your sense of self? Do they build your relationships? We all have blind spots (areas about ourselves that we are unable to clearly see). Are you aware of what these are and are you working on becoming a healthier, better you?

 

Please join us this week as we discuss the importance of being mentally healthy.

Nov 22, 2002 - The statistics, at first glance, can seem scary indeed. Each year, more than 775,000 children under age 15 are treated in hospital emergency rooms for sports injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Sports injuries are the No. 1 reason for emergency room visits among children.

IMPERFECTION

From birth we are bombarded with images,

Magazines with the perfect bodies on pages.

Flickering screens with thespians so lovely,

None wants to be identified as ugly.

Society has it's accepted high bars,

Slim and trim or sexy and curvy are stars.

Too thin or too fat brings you whispers,

Women so fast to forget the bond of sisters.

Mean comments fly on social media,

Soon as that picture goes up of Felicia.

Never mind the person who is depicted,

Or how this may get them heavily conflicted.

So many derogatory comments fly free,

So many perfect onlookers sipping tea.

Somebody somewhere looks in a mirror,

"That looks just like me..." is their thought in horror.

How many must go through this ignominy?

When do we learn to love others in true harmony?
