Mental Health: Equal Health

First things first is we must wrestle this false superiority of knowing what is mental health away from the general conversation about it. Five years of Mental and Behavioral Healthcare experience has allowed me to uncover many expert opinions about it, and all such opinions deriving from seemingly enlightened patients. Granted some self-care explanations were on track, but being close to the answers cannot be the standard.
Therefore the philosophical nature of mass expertise is counterproductive and harmful to societies understandings about mental health in general. What then can psychological professionals do to dampen such a kaleidoscope of untrained sufferers diagnosing complicated mental disorders? My suggestion would be to produce a weekly periodical. A digital application on a smart phone with current news in the field. Produced along with a bevy of relatable leaders in the field cast on a short 30 minute weekly video. These non-stoic professionals will raise mental healthcare to the same respectable level as physical healthcare.
Many changes have led mental health to being reconsidered as a crucial opposite to the same coin of physical healthcare. More promotion is required if mental health is to achieve the position of equality it deserves for the benefit of humanity.
Issue 7: Stress Testing: Completion Percentage?
Part Two:
No one can be happy all the time. That is fantasy, and it is unhealthy. Now sharing this with you for some, you already knew this by life or advice. Here’s how the scripture puts it. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Ecclesiastes 11:8 but if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
This post is about completing tasks, requirements, responsibilities, expectations or helping righteous people be successful at their chosen duties because others desire to see the righteous fall. It is a draining commitment I and many have freely taken on to ensure the continued existence of America for the good of all. President Joe Biden has suffered defeats in his first term as President of the United States in legislation and policy. This is the balance. There is no such thing as ‘success’ eternally.
Now the task that has fallen to us again is the endurance of America. Do not get it twisted! I am a Black man that has been targeted by all forms of hatred in America. Do I still believe America is the best opportunity to achieve that blessed sacredness of God’s love. Yes I do. Why? Because even though the all exclusive ‘White Male Club’ that formed the governance of these lands, they left too many doors open for the good women and men to change America for the better in writing! Understand that? In writing!
So America is not a ‘great’ country yet. It is getting there, but greatness is still an elusive conundrum. Which brings me to completion. Many tasks whether they are personal, professional or societal are rarely completed on a time schedule. Why not? Because many variables are unknown at the time the task is undertaken.
Example: Starting a semester of college. I don’t care if you’re a genius or an average student. No one can fully anticipate the course requirements of each class in totality. Therefore the assumptions you may have had beginning your quest to start and complete a degree seeking regimen more than likely for 99 percent of us is shattered. This is the moment when our mental ‘toughness’ is ‘tested’. I mean ‘toughness’ in a sense that the course requirements are accepted afterwards, and you make a determination if this is what you want to have listed as completed. Then you make mental adjustments to get it done.
Confidence is built over time. Not ‘on time’. Do you understand me? Completing a ‘block’ of instruction is the ‘phraseology’ I heard a lot of when I was taught skills by US Army instructors. Yeah, it may sound silly to you, but it worked. It taught me and all soldiers I’d say to take learning ‘pieces’ at a time. That way the entirety of learning job skills for US Army professions wasn’t overwhelming. Completion was simplified. (Psst, the US Army’s been doing it for over 200 years. They’ve had some time to perfect their methods. Just so you know.).
America is seeking out the righteous in her midst. A grand order has been given to all her citizens that know what we’re striving to reach. President Joe Biden should be re-elected President of the United States of America. I don’t mean to add politics in this post, but I believe it is necessary to calm everyone down to break the work into pieces. If you’ve been given a piece, then do it for the good of us all. No one class of people or group of people should own the rights to America!
Don’t look at the months ahead here in 2024 before the election as an obstacle keeping us from voting. Complete all the tasks before the due date. Remember. The only way you can fail (in school get an ‘F’) is if you do not participate!
Keep calm and order you thoughts. That’s how you increase your ‘completion percentage’. Focus and begin work on one task, thought, requirement, obligation. ‘One’ piece at a time.
Your mind will thank you for it.
