August Don't Worry, Be Happy 

Mental Moment 815 August 4 

 

Don’t worry, be happy, was a song sung by Bobby Mcferrin 1988.  It was an accapella song that was sung all over.  There were buttons, T Shirts and a host of other memorabilia that reminded us not to worry, but to be happy.

 

Here's a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note for note

Don't worry, be happy

 

In every life we have some trouble

But when you worry you make it double

 

Ain't got no place to lay your head

Somebody came and took your bed

 

The landlord say your rent is late

He may have to litigate

 

As threats of another shutdown, variants of COVID-19, employers REQUIRING vaccines or risk of unemployment and a series of concerns looms.  

 

I am reminded of this song and would like to offer mindfulness meditation as a coping strategy or technique to help us focus on things more positively.

 

Mindfulness is defined as a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.

 

Benefits includes:

Reduction of pain and enhancement of body’s immune system

 

When we’re stressed, the immune system’s ability to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections.

The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system (e.g. lowers the number of lymphocytes).

 

Reduction of feelings of depression, anxiety, anger and confusion

 

Fears, anxieties and tendencies toward depression are managed by seeking out their root causes. Once uncovered, patients learn how to take control of their emotions and life.

 

 

Provides a sense of calm, peace and balance

 

Increases energy 

 

Reduction of stress

 

 

Phillipians 4:6

New International Version

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

 

 

September We Can Recover

October Don't Be a DoorMat, Anymore 

 

October Mental Health moment Don’t Be a Door Mat Anymore

 

These Boots are made for walking Nancy Sinatra 

 

You keep sayin' you've got somethin' for me

Somethin' you call love but confess

You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'

And now someone else is getting all your best

These boots are made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do

One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

Ya

You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'

And you keep losing when you oughta not bet

You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'

Now what's right is right but you ain't been right yet

 

Definition of Door Mat

The primary purpose of any doormat is to provide a safe surface that can be used to clean footwear and prevent dirt from getting into a property. 

 

How to stop from Being a Doormat

1. Start with You.  Give yourself credit.  Uphold your own values.  Take care of yourself
2. Teach people how you want to be treated.
3. Don’t be a people-pleaser.  Be more generous with yourself.
4. Be more assertive.  Gain more confidence. 
5. Know that you are not alone.  Confide in someone.  Find a support group. 
6. Raise your expectations.
7. If you need to, be willing to remove yourself from the situation or relationship and start building the kind of life you’d love to live.
