Mental Health Monday with Marissa Contelmo

happy best day of the week, MHM! Sorry for being absent for the past two weeks- I had family visiting and was focused on being present .. then I got the flu. The flu knocked me on my ass and caused a huge set back for myself and care. I felt like I was in such a good place mentally and physically to being sick in bed for a week, not taking my medication and vitamins, having no energy and being a MESS. I am having such a hard time restarting and getting back to my best self so I finally made a plan. Tune in to this episode to find out how I plan to tackle this setback.

*Rated Explicit due to the use of "fuck"* Happy BEST day of the week!!!!! MHM!!!! <3 I posted a photo recently (follow @mentalhealthmondaypod on instagram) and someone commented on the fact that I have sticky notes in my mirrors which got me thinking about the sticky notes I have ALL over my house that say REST. Rest of course can mean to relax, take breaks, time for yourself, etc. which is a great reminder for all. BUT rest is also a basic distress tolerance skill acronym. In this episode I explain what it means and how to practice it.
