Day 1 Mental Health Challenge. Roland was seriously clinically depressed for decades, suicidal for years. A result of unhealthy thinking patterns, this led to anger issues, feeling out of control, trying to control others, hurting and betraying those he loved. This all changed when he learned a method for filtering his thoughts.

Learn the process that got Roland out of a lifetime of clinical depression and Vauna off 10 years of antidepressants.

This is the most effective way to filter your thoughts and to learn to be in control of how you feel.

A friend of mine recently died of suicide. My heart aches for what she went through and what her family is now going through.

In honor of those whose lives have been affected by suicide or mental illness I'm starting a 14 day Mental Health Challenge. For the next 14 episodes I'll discuss ways to improve and maintain mental health and emotional well-being.

Jokes, jabs, and sarcasm can be detrimental to your marriage and family. Learn to talk through the things that are simmering beneath the surface so they don't shoot out in little bursts disguised as jokes, jabs, or sarcasm. Pay attention to the things you say to your loved ones. Also pay attention to their body language in response to your words and attitude.

Vauna and Roland discuss how to stop taking things personally. Every behavior is designed to meet a need. It's not likely that it has to do with you, even though it may feel like it. Learn to ask, "When you do that, what does it mean?" Clarity matters. A healthy marriage involves empathy, compassion, communication, the willingness to work through things. You can be proud of who you are. If someone has a lack of respect, that's about them. It's not about you. Start asking yourself, "What could be going in in their life that I don't know about?" and "what else could this mean?"
