Wellness Wednesday:

Your mental health should be a priority, just as much so as your physical health. You may need to seek support for your mental wellness if you notice any of the following:
-Impairment in your activities of daily living-your mental health issues take up considerable time in your day, your quality of life has decreased, you cannot get your needs met.
-Disrupted routines-significant changes in your sleep, appetite, mood, etc.
-Loss of interest-you’ve lost motivation to do what you once enjoyed or you no longer feel joy no matter what you accomplish
-Transitions in life-you’re struggling to cope with change, grief, loss, etc
-Intense emotions-your emotions seem difficult to manage, persist, or you feel guilty for feeling emotions

If any of these feel familiar, don’t suffer! Seek counseling support. TBCC has immediate available appointments (806)336-9454.

Wellness Wednesday:

A mudra is an Ayurvedic hand gesture that redirects energy in your body to help balance emotions. I refer to mudras as “hand yoga”. There are many mudras to help process heavy emotional experiences. To help process grief, use the Ksepana Mudra (Gesture of Letting Go). Ksepana Mudra is highly effective for releasing emotional overwhelm, sadness, and the heavy burdens of loss.

How to do it: Interlace all your fingers inside your palms. Release your index fingers and let them point straight up (or point down toward your feet if you are seated or lying down). Cross your thumbs so their tips rest in the webbing between the opposite thumb and index finger. Hold this gesture over your heart center while taking deep, intentional breaths, imagining the exhale sweeping away negative tension and the inhale bringing in light.

If you’re interested in learning more mudras or if you need other assistance processing grief or emotions, contact us at TBCC 806-336-9454.

Wellness Wednesday:

Extreme heat not only affects your physical health; it takes a toll on your mental health as well. Extreme heat actually alters your brain chemistry, increasing stress hormones like cortisol, and disrupting sleep. This can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and increased irritability. Extreme conditions can also exacerbate pre-existing mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. Be safe out there today-mentally and physically!

Here are some tips for keeping your sanity in this hot weather:
-Drink frequent sips of ice cold water.
-Find shade and meditate on cool breezes.
-Cobra breath, especially if you feel panicky.
-Use a lighter blanket/pajamas to sleep.
-Eat cool fresh fruits and vegetables.
-Be mindful of side effects of medications you take.

For more tips on maintaining mental wellness during extreme weather conditions, contact TBCC 806-336-9454.

Monday Mental Health Matters:

When it comes to grief, the old adage “Time heals all wounds” does apply. I would add that time helps heal wounds when we are purposeful about healing. You have the power to choose your attitude about grief. You can choose how you heal. Focus on healing through connection and making meaning of that connection; then your heart can heal.

If you are struggling to heal from grief, contact TBCC at 806-336-9454.

Wellness Wednesday:

What happens to your body after a panic attack? Your body can experience a "comedown" often called a panic attack hangover. As adrenaline and cortisol levels drop, you may feel profoundly exhausted, shaky, or have sore muscles, alongside mental fogginess and a lingering sense of unease as your nervous system recalibrates. A panic attack triggers a massive, sudden flood of adrenaline. Once the acute "fight-or-flight" response subsides, your parasympathetic nervous system—the rest-and-digest mode—kicks in to bring your body back to baseline. To recover:
-Allow yourself to nap or simply lie down in a quiet, dark room to let your body recharge.
-Focus on slow, deep inhales and exhales to signal safety to your brain.
-Drink water and have a light snack to stabilize your blood sugar.
-Light exercise, like a short walk, can help your body readjust by physically releasing the last drops of adrenaline.

Look out for snakes! And if you have a panic attack-like I did this morning-give yourself a recovery period with lots of grace. For more info, contact TBCC 806-336-9454.

Monday Mental Health Matters:

Grief is not an experience you just get over. It changes you. You are forever changed by the loss of the connection you’ve been blessed to carry. Healing from grief means accepting this loss, finding connection again (with others, yourself, and God), and making meaning or giving purpose to the connection you are grieving.

If you’re experiencing grief and having trouble feeling you can move through this season of your life, contact TBCC at 806-336-9454.
