269 Living Above the Fray: The 7 Pillars of Mental Health, Pt. 6: The Commitment to Find "The Middle Way"

In 1980, Ozzy Osbourne sang about "…going off the rails on a crazy train." We all know what he was talking about, don't we? Certainly, the world around us often feels crazy, but sometimes we struggle with mental health issues, too.   In this important 7-part series, Roy Biancalana, our host, talks about "The 7 Pillars of Mental Health," and how they can allow us to "live above the fray," and stay off the "crazy train."   In part six of the series, we learn that the "crazy train" is always headed to "destination: extreme." But sanity is found in "The Middle Way." Without access to our inner empath and our inner narcissist; without access to acceptance and action; without access to rationality and emotionality, we're mentally unbalanced and unhealthy, unable to respond appropriately to any moment.   In this episode, you'll learn: ·      Why black and white thinking is crazy; ·      That being lop-sided or one dimensional isn't healthy; ·      How being an empath (or a narcissist) is unhealthy; ·      Why "both/and" is healthier than "either/or" ·      And much, much more!   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 4 Books: ·      Quantum Questions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4RFZBS3/ ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.
