While these techniques have provided a lot of support on my mental health journey, they’ve also created some problems. I realized I was putting too much pressure on my coping techniques, and that’s what I want to share today. My best example of this problem is my current relationship with meditation.

When I watch movies, there’s a specific type of scene that always makes me jealous. Before we see our characters go off on their adventure, we sometimes see a morning routine montage – a quick-cutting, crisp shot-by-shot look at how these people get going in the morning. Maybe it’s because we know their world is about to change or because of the way it sets the scene, but that peek into a character’s life is such a great way to get to know our heroes of this story.

Councils that spend more on early help and those with wealthier populations are more likely to receive an outstanding or good Ofsted grade, research has found. Researchers said this meant the “most deprived local communities with the greatest needs are least likely to have access to good quality children’s services”, and that the findings challenged a “dominant” narrative of there being no link between spending and performance.

To mask or not to mask? Anti-vax or total vax? What will we most remember from the COVID crises? “Relationship deprivation” may be the primary memory for many. Just how vital are connections to our sense of well-being? Good relationships have been shown to increase longevity, increase stress tolerance, and maintain healthier daily routines. People in healthy long term relationships are less likely to die prematurely (by 50%) than those without such relationships (Brickel, 2022).

Pets. They are all special. Family. We love them. Our little guy, Kugle came to us about 12.5 years ago the result of much begging on my part with Arlene. She had three rules to agree to his coming home with us: She owned the front half; He would stay on the main level of the house; He would only sleep on his bed. I agreed and shortly after his arrival, I suggested we go to a puppy class to learn how to train him.
