So, I’m still feeling sick as hell. Great! Anyway, I haven’t been up to any genius writing these past few days but I have found some great mental health stuff online that’s informative and inspiring. Worth every…click!
First of all, my new awesome friend Claire wrote about Happy Lists after reading my Happy List post from February. Her blog is brand new and I am in love already!
Next, , complete with a list that branches out into several related articles as sub-categories:
Number three reminds me of what I believe to be the original Gaslighting article, A Message to Women from a Man: You Are Not Crazy. If you’re only going to click on one link from this post, the latter is the best. I feel like my entire life is explained by it.
Moving on, TED (my new favourite site) has a brand new video of Frank Warren of PostSecret. It’s phenomenal. Check it out:
Speaking of TED, this is my most favourite talk on there, one that I make sure to rewatch every few weeks. It’s Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of on Nuturing Creativity. It’s a great example of how to weaken your negative self-talk and keep your channels of creativity flowing and open.
*okay, that video isn’t working for some people, so click this link to watch it instead. :)
(If you know me in “real life” I’ve probably talked to you about this. Now you have the link so you have no excuse for not watching it! I’ll be checking. Yeah, you!)
I just learned about assistance dogs for people with seizures. Apparently we emit an odour right before having a seizure and certain dogs can smell it. Once trained, a seizure dog can save lives. HONESTLY, GREATEST THING EVER.
Lastly, read about this . The header photo alone just makes me feel peaceful and wonderful:
Be well!! ♥♥♥

I loved the article about gaslighting. I’d never heard the word before & I’m amazed at how accurate and insightful that article is. I’m making my way through the self-sabotage articles. I’m the queen of procrastination, so reading that article makes me feel sorta guilty. :X
(& thanks for linking me! I’m so happy you liked it!)

Aw, hope you feel better soon *hug*. By the way, your second video from TED won’t work for me.

Fabulous post. Especially loved the TED talk by Frank Warren and the memorial for mental health post is so beautiful.
