The Importance of Seeking Help From a Mental Health Professional
Seeking help from a Mental Health Professional is important because he or she will give you sound advice and unbiased counseling.
Don’t get me wrong, speaking with family and friends can be beneficial when you need a support system, but I have found professional help makes it easier to be open about emotions and addressing things that have taken place.
Some people will attempt to hide and ignore symptoms that point to mental health issues: he or she may be ashamed or don’t know how to handle it. According to Better Health Television, talking to your doctor or mental health professional about emotional difficulties is a positive step toward improving your mental health. A professional can help you achieve a healthier lifestyle. For example, he or she can improve your problem-solving skills, build and increase confidence, help you heal from the past, and set and achievie personal goals.
I recently spoke with a young female in her late 20s and asked her three questions about speaking with a mental health provider; she was glad to share part of her journey.

The Importance of Travel and Mental Health by Tabitha James
Let’s face it, life is demanding – work, family, bills, organizational commitments, social life (ha) – we spend a lot of time doing “the things”.

Hello July!
While planning for the month of July and part of August, I realized 2018 is almost over. I feel as if the year just started but here we are 7 months deep with 5 more to go!
At the beginning of the year I set a goal to blog once a week or more. So far I have accomplished that goal and I am proud of me if I must say so myself.
My main goal for 2018 is to finish the things I start and handle certain situations differently. There’s a few more things on my to do list for the year therefore, July just put me in crunch mode!
Hello July! Let’s Work!
