May is National Mental Health Month. I thought it a great time to check in with you to inquire how you are doing. So . . . How are you doing?
No doubt you are going through many changes. Change is an interesting phenomenon because the only constant in life is change. It is paradoxical yet true.

On Monday, in this week’s episode of Facebook Live, I explained what occurs when an emotion is experienced in your brain and how you can recognize what is happening. More importantly I gave tips on how to take charge of your emotions for your sake and the sake of your health.

BIG PROBLEMS may occur when they are allowed to be in charge of our decision making. You have the power to analyze and choose! Choose wisely!
