Let in the Sunlight - Talk About Your Health

“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.”

– Glenn Close

I love this quote by Glenn Close. When I read it, it reminded me that the entire reason why I wanted to create and start BeWellEDU is to start that "unashamed conversation". Each day I am reminded that people close to me are dealing with mental health struggles, and it isn't easy. Some have opened up that conversation and are quite public about how hard it is - that is something to applaud and support.

Who I want to reach are those who haven't. If you are someone who is struggling to just get up, get dressed, walk out that door, or if you cringe at the thought of making it through another day - you aren't alone! If you need more sunlight in your life, wish you knew what was "wrong" with you, or simply can't remember the last time you truly got excited about life...you are not alone. I know it can be an unfathomable thing right now, but let ONE person into your pain. Just one person. Open up the doors and tell them what you are dealing with. It is a tough, courageous move, but that is the first step towards mental health.

Give yourself some sunlight and reach out to someone. You won't regret it.

My daughter recently took part in a poetry workshop at school. Once it was over, her assignment for class was to write a poem and then deliver it in a spoken word performance to her class. If chosen, she would then compete against the other top poems from the other 5 classes in her grade. What she wrote and performed was so intensely personal. I was blown away by her courage to share, but more so by the profound words, technique and delivery of the poem itself (the English teacher in me!). She was extremely self-conscious about sharing with others in her school about her experience with anxiety, but I told her that she was likely helping others by sharing about what she has dealt with. A friend of mine, who is a teacher at her school commented on how she impacted other students with her words. My friend shared that at school she appears to be such a confident, composed and self-assured young lady, so in sharing her story and poetry, my friend overh...

Take a Moment

February 27, 2010 my life changed. I lost my dad to his battle with cancer, and he was only 52. My daughter Ava and my dad, summer 2009. Today is ten years since he died, and I have to say, it is a very tough day. I didn't expect it to be so difficult, but I am struggling today. Grief can consume, and it is a sneaky thing too, as you don't realize it's going to get you until it does. I am constantly on the verge of tears, my every thought is consumed with memories of him - both good and sad ones. How is it that TEN years has gone by so quickly? I was having a conversation with one of my Google Innovator mentees today, and he was saying how his life was so busy this past month and his Innovator project has somehow paused for a few weeks. He was still motivated and enthusiastic about it, and best of all - he didn't feel any guilt about having hit the pause button. My mentee's project is focussed around teacher self-care and wellness, and he...

There's Nothing Like...

Browsing my Twitter feed this morning and I ran across a tweet from a friend in California. @TechCoachSusan tweeted, "Woooooot! Nothing like a little Springsteen to start you going in the morning!" and this made me think - "YES!! I love a good tune to get me going." Music is so essential in life, in my opinion. There is rarely a quiet moment in our house, as we always have music playing in the background, or turned up loud so we can enjoy a tune or two. One of our favourite things to do is to ask Google to play a song, and we wait to see what kind of playlist it keeps going with. Just this morning, my youngest daughter started our day off with "Footloose" and the next song was A-HA's "Take On Me" - there was not a grumpy morning person in the house! Music can change a mood, and I love that this morning it amped up @TechCoachSusan so much that she tweeted about it. Wellness can be brought into our lives in so many ways, so let...
