Lone Leaf

Lone Leaf
 
Lone leaf dangles,
high atop the oak
long past fall,
into winter
thru wind storms,
ice, hail, rain
the woodpecker knocks.

Lone leaf dangles
dark, torn, thickened,
weather worn and flapping
spring creeps in,
days lengthen
March winds blow warm and cold
a robin sings from its branch.

Lone leaf dangles
solitary, immovable
fixed against the sky
sunrise, sunset
deep into the night,
unseen
buds form,
a sparrow's nest is built in the evergreen.

Lone leaf dangles
the woodpecker knocks.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Annual Mental Health Wellness Checkup Quiz

May is designated Mental Health Awareness Month.  Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 1949 to increase public awareness of the importance of addressing our mental health needs and to decrease the stigma surrounding the need for help. 
What does this mean for you?  Have you checked in with your mental health status lately?  Would you even know how to do that? 

Take my Annual Mental Health Wellness Checkup Quiz and see how you're doing.  

10 Questions - Covers Mental, Emotional, Physical, & Spiritual Health

1. How are you feeling today, really? How have you been feeling over the last 6 months?  Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. 

2. What’s taking up most of your headspace right now?  What's keeping you up at night?  

3. How are your eating habits?  Are you taking time to eat nutritious meals or living on fast food and junk snacks?  Have you been drinking enough water? 

4. How have you been sleeping?  Is lack of sleep impacting your ability to function? 

5. What have you been doing for exercise?  Recreation?  Relaxation?

6.  Are you holding in a lot of anger, resentment, or unforgiveness?  Carrying grudges?

7.  When's the last time you felt really good about yourself?  Your life?  The future?

8.  Are feeling stuck or overwhelmed by what you need to do on a daily basis?  Or are you invigorated by each new day?

9.  Do you feel loved and supported by those around you or isolated and alone?  How often do you feel lonely?

10.  How confident do feel that you can cope adequately with a sudden reversal or setback that might come up unexpectedly?  This might be financially?  Career wise?  Family?  A sudden loss such as a death?  An unforeseen illness or natural disaster?

If you fall short on any the of questions above, it may be impacting your mental health.  Ask yourself:  What current obstacle is the biggest stumbling block getting in your way?  Prioritize your needs this way.  If you need a tune up or extra help, seek the aid of a professional.  Sometimes short term counseling is all it takes to get your life back on track.

My mission is to assist individuals in overcoming the stigma of seeking mental health services.  My goal is to help you create a healthier, more fulfilling life while navigating life's many challenges and transitions.  If you need to, we can do that together.
