Love You To Life: Pep Talks For Daily Living

Episode Page: http://loveyoutolife.co/podcast/ep-2-a-mindset-for-2021-getting-grounded-pt-2/

This episode is part two of a series on mental health.  If you haven’t heard part one, make sure you go back and listen. Part one sets the foundation for us to build on today.

Getting grounded is all about establishing a mindset for 2021 that’s gonna give you peace and hope, no matter your circumstances. For a healthy mindset, we have to be grounded.

Last week we created awareness. We talked about how we have to be like the tree, planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. These trees do not fear when heat comes; and their leaves are always green. They  have no worries in a year of drought and they never fail to bear fruit.

Today, we’ll go one more step in the direction towards establishing a healthy and positive mindset for 2021 and beyond. We’ll build a simple  daily routine that will set the foundation for the rest of this work.

Reflection Questions

What if things continue to be what they are? What would that mean for you, your future family, and your friends? What happens if we don’t fix this mental health crisis?

Have you been intentional about maintaining a healthy mind?

What do you need more of in circle #2?

What is one thing you can begin doing (or one thing you need to stop doing) today to get it?

Activity

Make two circles on your paper, side by side. In one circle, write the words depressed, anxiety, violence, dark, death, suicide, virus, stress, restrictions, quarantine, and murder. These are words that have dominated the news.

In the second circle, write these words: light, refuge, safety, guarded, loved, kindness, rest, covered, salvation, confidence, satisfied, grace, life, strength, endurance, and hope.

It is possible to be in the world, filled with death and darkness, but not be of the world. We can still be at peace, and at rest.

There is one remedy for the mental health crisis raging in our society today; We must be grounded in God’s truth and his safe habitation.

I know that talking about faith and making it a part of your daily life is new for many of you. Download the workbook that guides you through 12 days of establishi

This episode is part one of a series of conversations we’re going to have about healing our minds, and establishing a healthy and positive mindset.

In 2020, The world health organization wrote that depression was the leading cause of disability in the world. According to The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association, adolescents aged 12 to 17 years old have the highest rate of major depressive episodes. Your generation has suffered deeply from depression and a toxic mind.

Today, we say enough is enough.

To have a healthy and positive mindset, you have to get grounded. To get grounded, you have to be planted in the right place.

Reflection Questions

Where are you planted? The honest answers to these questions will show you where you are planted. 

Where do you spend the most time?

With whom do you spend the most time?

What do you spend the most time doing?

Whether you’re depressed, scared, or fortunately doing really well, these conversations on mental health and the right mindset to endure whatever may come, are so important and necessary, especially right now given the current state of events in our country, and the world. I can’t wait to continue the work next week.

Please share this episode with one person who could benefit from the message. #YoureMyOne #EachOneReachOne

We’re trying to change a whole generation, and we can’t do it alone.

Thank you for being a part of the conversation, and the work.

I love you to life.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit”

Jeremiah 17:7-8
