The Internet is Magic, Vol VIII, Mental Health Edition

Lately, I’ve been struggling a bit with my mental health. I’ve been a bit low emotionally and I’m having trouble focusing on the positive and keeping my thoughts in check from spiraling into panicky patterns and overthinking. I’ve been here before and I know that the best thing I can do is plug into my resources, focus on gratitude, redirect my scary thoughts, move more, medidate, journal, pray and ask for help. The hard thing is that when I’m feeling low, I don’t want to do any of those things!

I’m starting to feel better now, so I wanted to give my future self the gift of a ‘The Internet is Magic’ post focused on the places I can go online to improve my mental health. I’m hoping that maybe some of these resources will be helpful for you, too.

Listening to this guided meditation in the morning really helps me focus on the good in life. Today is a VERY good day!

You know I love pretty much anything by Yung Pueblo, but I really like to read this specific post of his.

I recently realized that my negative emotions are habitual around money, discontentment and creativity. I get fused with those emotions and have trouble breaking the cycle of repetitive, negative thoughts that literally start to affect me on a physical level. This blog post helps me have the energy to reprogram my thoughts.

This would probably be my number one tip: I am listening to the A New Earth podcast with Ekhart Tolle and Oprah again and, wow, it’s just so helpful. It makes you realize how much suffering is caused by the ego and living either in the past or the future.

What about you all? Do you have any resources online for mental health that you’d like to share? If you’re having a tough time, please know my heart goes out to you.
