What's up everybody? I hope you're all having a great mental health day today and every day. Today's post is about the loss of Jason David Frank and the video I created to honor his legacy and to guide people in how to process his loss. It is definitely one of the best things I have ever done and I encourage you to watch it if you're struggling with dark thoughts or share it with people who you think could use some guidance and perspective on their own Mental Health. May the power protect you, always. Much love much respect. Rest in Power #JDF --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/foryourmentalhealthpod/support

What's up y'all!  Thanks again for checking out my channel! Today's video is a pretty cool one because I get to talk about a big change in my life which involves going vegan! It's something that I kinda just did because it felt like something I wanted to try and it's been a very positive experience for sure!  So watch this video and maybe learn something and maybe get inspired to make a change in your own life as well, yay!   Also, something I left out of the video which I forgot to discuss was the impact on the lives of animals and how they will be saved through the collaborative effort of people who decide to no longer eat meat and I think that's a pretty cool reason to go vegan as well.  Let's continue to make this world the best planet possible, ya dig? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/foryourmentalhealthpod/support

This week's episode touches on the subject of mask wearing and the anxiety that's created by having to choose whether or not to wear one in public. Obviously this is something we all have to deal with in our daily lives I thought it was important to open up the discussion about it for those that are struggling to find peace with their decision to wear one or not. May this episode serve you well and shed some light on what has happened to me in my own experiences dealing with masks.

Hi y'all!  I know it's been a bit since my last post but I've been going  through quite a few changes and I've honestly been hesitant to post  anything because of all the constant dislikes I've been getting on my  videos.  It was uncomfortable and painful for me to see my audience  engagement be so negative and it was difficult for me to find the  motivation to continue to create content.  Through finding the love in  myself more than anything, I've been able to come to terms with these  dislikes which I have zero control over and understand the importance  and inevitability of getting in the way to have things your way.  In  this video, I explain more about getting in the way of others and how  it's okay to do this in a way that doesn't need to be personal, but is  just a sign of your growth and willingness to put yourself out there for  you. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/foryourmentalhealthpod/support

After a prolonged break I'm back with something I'm really proud of, an epiosde that details my full morning quarantine routine from getting up outta bed to all my yoga, meditation, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu drills and technique and strength.cardio training! It's a routine that has helped me immensely over the past few months and I'm honored and psyched to be able to share it with you all here today.

Why me? Ever said that to yourself? Who hasn't right? Why in the world would this set of circumstances befall little ol' me of all people? We feel victimized and cursed, sometimes crushed by the weight of our own thoughts and all the good days and amazing moments of triumph before this get forgotten about as we bathe in the toxic sludge of negativity. But it doesn't have to be this way, does it? You've been through so much, or maybe you haven't and this is your first time facing real roadblocks in your life. Either way, the path forward doesn't have to feel so dark and treacherous. You don't have to be the victim of the story waiting for someone to come and save you from impending doom. YOU ARE THE HERO. And you CAN turn things around. You just have to believe it can happen and then make it happen.
