hello everyone Karen Glasser here and
0:05
welcome to minding your mental health
0:07
I'm here with my son and co-host Rob
0:10
Glasser we talk about the topics that
0:13
shape mental health today we teach the
0:15
importance of inclusion and share why we
0:18
should be kind so whether you're here
0:19
live or on replay we love you let us
0:22
know where you are tuning in from so
0:24
today
0:26
is about science
0:28
health and what happens when you put
0:30
them together hopefully we have Harmony
0:33
so Rob take it away
0:35
all right thank you first up on our
0:39
wonderful Roundtable of topics here
0:42
um something that should put you both
0:44
science and health and Harmony are
0:46
simple morning rituals to supercharge
0:48
your day this comes from lifehack.org
0:51
written by I'm guessing Stephen James
0:54
Stefan Stefan James he wrote five things
0:57
to do upon waking up and starting your
1:01
day number one smile
1:04
uh when you smile you release all those
1:07
happy uh serotonin and all that stuff
1:10
when you do it and it just gives you
1:12
something to be grateful for so first
1:14
thing he recommends is Wake with a smile
1:19
um
1:19
that's pretty much it there all right
1:21
number two uh drink water
1:24
very important you've talked about this
1:26
before uh while a lot of people like to
1:28
get their their coffee or tea fix the
1:30
first thing you want to do is get some
1:31
water in your body to replenish all the
1:34
water that was
1:36
um disappointed dissipated while you
1:39
slept
1:40
um now I exercised before I get started
1:42
so I only drink a little bit and then I
1:44
drink more of it afterwards as it's not
1:46
good to exercise with a lot of water in
1:48
you but start your day with some water
1:50
and at least if you don't do it
1:52
immediately get a good maybe half a cup
1:54
half a bottle in you to kind of get the
1:58
body started because as we know
1:59
scientifically water does get your body
2:02
going
2:04
number three get moving as I just
2:07
mentioned I like to do my exercises
2:10
first thing in the morning I do it twice
2:11
a day but the most important one I think
2:13
is my morning exercise why because it's
2:16
good it gets everything up and running
2:18
you want to make your brain work you
2:20
want to make your heart pump you want to
2:21
make I mean all that should be working
2:22
anyway but doing some exercise should
2:26
get that going and you know working you
2:29
can stretch you can yoga you can walk
2:32
the dogs as you do
2:34
um whatever it is you do get moving and
2:37
you know have fun
2:39
number four feed that mind of yours of
2:43
course you want to feed your belly with
2:44
a nice full and healthy breakfast but
2:46
why not feed your mind with some reading
2:48
some audio books or maybe a YouTube
2:51
video or two hey why don't you come over
2:53
to uh official Rob Glasser Network and
2:55
watch something in the morning most of
2:57
my videos are five or ten minutes it's
2:58
pretty good
3:00
um but put something in your mind that's
3:02
going to help you start the day I did a
3:04
the video this morning I did a routine
3:06
uh section and one of it was she
3:10
um reads something for about 10 or 15
3:12
minutes uh whether it's audio or
3:15
paperback whatever but you read to get
3:17
your mind started so that we can
3:19
actually start your day and you already
3:22
kind of have your brain going
3:24
number five starting with an easy ending
3:27
with an easy plan out your day so once
3:30
you have gotten up washed your face
3:32
worked out a little bit eaten your
3:35
breakfast why not go and plan the day
3:38
whether you have to get to work whether
3:40
it's a day off whether you got to deal
3:42
with the pets or something whatever it
3:44
is you got to do just write it down
3:46
mentally say whatever works and you too
3:50
can live in harmony with yourself
3:54
you too so what do you think no I think
3:56
it's great in a reading thing I'll I'll
3:58
read 10 pages a day that's my thing in
4:01
the morning I will open up whatever book
4:03
I have sitting there and I will do 10
4:05
pages I don't do it by the time because
4:07
sometimes I get distracted and I can't
4:09
get through the temp so I I make a
4:11
commitment to do 10 pages every day what
4:13
about you Rob
4:16
um I don't necessarily read to read but
4:20
I do research I you know I have my
4:22
History Channel on all the time so I'm
4:23
always learning something new from them
4:26
um but I do uh you know when I do get on
4:28
my phone and stuff like that I do see
4:30
what's going on I see what I'm going to
4:32
be doing today and if I want to have any
4:34
extra to sound even smarter I will pop
4:37
on the computer and Google a couple
4:39
things to make sure that I have all the
4:41
info I need or I might just do it for
4:43
fun it might just be a Pokemon thing and
4:45
be like hey what's going on in the game
4:46
let's check it out makes you happy
4:48
because you're like cool but yeah I
4:51
highly recommend doing those things if
4:53
you want the entire blog is there it's a
4:55
very short blog five minute read
4:57
probably
4:58
um and he writes it pretty well pretty
5:00
self-explanatory to the points
5:03
um and you know everybody can do them
5:06
nothing yep nothing too extraordinary
5:08
right no pretty normal all right well
5:10
let's get more science here for a minute
5:12
now
5:13
um
5:15
what about it I don't know I don't know
5:17
where it's going with that
5:19
um the person it can be resilient but
5:21
can you train your brain to build
5:24
resilience well mindful.org wrote an
5:28
awesome blog written by Linda Graham
5:30
only a couple years ago this was from
5:32
2019 and it starts by saying getting
5:34
back up when you stumble may seem easier
5:37
for some than it does for others the
5:39
good news is resilience is like a muscle
5:40
here's how you can strengthen yours over
5:43
time they have a really funny picture of
5:46
a brain lifting weights you know
5:49
um
5:49
so they showed up by saying that you
5:51
know you'll misplace your keys you'll
5:53
forget your wallet you'll kind of go my
5:54
God what the hell most of the time
5:56
you'll be able to come back look around
5:59
and find it and it's not that big of a
6:01
deal however once in a while you might
6:03
get into a panic or
6:06
I don't know a trigger and you just feel
6:09
like you've screwed up the entire thing
6:12
um that is when you want to as they say
6:15
put your big kid pants on and face the
6:17
distress one moment and one deal at a
6:20
time no but um this is when you want to
6:23
uh excuse me this is when you want to
6:26
teach your brain how to
6:28
be resilient one of the quotes that they
6:30
pulled out of their blog said when these
6:32
bigger bumps happen we have to dig
6:33
deeper into our inner reserves of
6:35
resilience and our memories of times
6:37
we've successfully coped before while
6:40
also drawing external resources such as
6:42
family friends and others so that's a
6:44
very important key here guys when you
6:47
come across a excuse me when you come
6:51
across something that you've done wrong
6:53
think about what it might have happened
6:54
before or something similar and remember
6:57
what you did or what you tried to do to
7:00
get through a bad issue
7:03
um
7:04
first part is here they call the brain
7:06
flexible they say all the capacities
7:08
that develop and strengthen your
7:10
resilience and are calm in the midst of
7:12
storms seeing options clearly and
7:15
shifting perspectives are innate in your
7:18
being because they're evolutionary Nate
7:19
in your brain so number one right off
7:23
the bat we know from science that your
7:26
brain is able to do the things it does
7:28
because it was born that way and through
7:32
Evolution through time we've learned to
7:36
more or less harness those the word
7:39
neuroplasticity which is used here means
7:41
that all the capacities of resilience
7:43
you need are learnable and recoverable
7:46
so we've talked about before one of my
7:49
things is I would love to go back in
7:50
time and try to remember things so
7:53
apparently you can and you can also
7:55
relearn or learn for the new time
7:57
because your brain does that now
7:59
obviously if somebody has some sort of
8:01
blunt condition this might change uh
8:03
developing on that older people as well
8:06
but for the most part and we've seen
8:09
this actually on many a commercial for
8:11
brain supplements even somebody in the
8:13
80s or 90s who might be retraining their
8:15
brain has the ability to remember
8:17
something that they did maybe back in
8:19
their 40s or 50s because they really put
8:22
the time and work into
8:24
retraining and resilience
8:27
the praying
8:30
um but this requires the engagement of
8:32
your prefrontal cortex which is where
8:34
the most of your executive functioning
8:37
is done your decision making your
8:39
planning your analysis and your judge
8:42
height
8:43
all this seems fine and dandy right you
8:46
have to agree generally that this works
8:49
perfectly uh-oh
8:51
then your emotions come into play don't
8:53
you just hate when that happens so this
8:55
is the part of the story that really is
8:57
what we're going to be discussing here
8:59
resilience can be done if you're looking
9:02
at it from the one two three obvious
9:04
record however because we all have
9:06
emotions
9:08
sometimes the resilience doesn't get its
9:10
due which is why you can be forgetful be
9:14
worrisome be fearful because there are
9:17
things that are in the way now it could
9:20
be a bad thing like getting stuck in
9:23
traffic or it could be a good thing like
9:25
watching the Sunrise it's not so much
9:28
the good or the bad but because there's
9:30
an emotion attached to it we know from
9:33
this blog that your resilience comes
9:36
Under Fire because the other part of
9:39
your brain the brain that doesn't
9:40
function
9:42
has you know thinking starts to go la la
9:46
la la and basically throws flowers in
9:48
the air and messes everything up so what
9:51
can you do
9:53
I don't know I mean do you want it you
9:55
want to take a guess no I I'm curious
9:57
what do they say we can do taking back
9:58
the range what you can do instead is
10:00
kind of manage your surges mostly of
10:03
negative emotions and cultivate mostly
10:06
your positive now they did say that
10:07
positive can be a problem too but I
10:09
think for the most part negative overly
10:11
surpasses positive there so practice
10:14
things such as kindness gratitude
10:15
generosity delight and awe these shifts
10:19
in your brain will bring you back to its
10:21
neuroplasticity or flexibility
10:25
um you know think of the things that you
10:28
did
10:28
you know when it comes to the pain you
10:31
got when you stubbed your toe or maybe
10:33
when you fell on that hike maybe you
10:35
don't think about when you fell but
10:37
maybe remember the hike that you took to
10:40
reach in the brain's ability it's hard
10:43
to not want to do it again when you get
10:45
hurt and yes of course you don't want to
10:47
lose the common sense of going oh well I
10:49
don't want to do that again however what
10:51
you don't want to do is focus on the one
10:53
point of the entire day that probably
10:56
wasn't the most Pleasant right that's
10:58
how you take back the reins that's how
11:00
you feel everything it's refocusing is
11:03
what it is focusing yeah
11:05
um so they say there's a couple
11:07
practices this one's called taking in
11:08
the good first thing you pause for the
11:11
moment and notice anything that is good
11:13
or grateful
11:14
attuned to that feeling is number two
11:17
maybe say something like ooh that's
11:19
awesome number three focus on that
11:22
individual feeling for 10 to 30 seconds
11:25
kind of let it soak in number four
11:29
try to use that memory five times during
11:32
a day if you can if you're experiencing
11:35
some sort of trauma so to speak and
11:38
number five try to redo the moment over
11:41
and over again it's kind of like the
11:42
time Loop thing where you're stuck on
11:44
whatever you're doing the same day over
11:45
and over again but in this case pick the
11:48
things that worked for you really well
11:49
this actually makes a lot of sense to me
11:51
I think and it sounds like you're
11:52
distracting yourself to go in the the
11:55
other direction and I I think that that
11:57
actually makes a lot of sense because
11:59
sometimes that's what we just need to do
12:01
a stop a hard stop
12:03
now we also have one called tuning in to
12:06
act wisely and this is two parts the
12:08
first part is called attending
12:11
excuse me and this practice can excuse
12:14
me can deepen your capacity to become
12:16
present and consciously aware number one
12:19
is say quiet quietly in a place where
12:21
you won't be interrupted for at least
12:22
five minutes number two whatever your
12:25
sensation you're feeling just go with it
12:27
and number three at this stage you have
12:31
come to a choice point you can either
12:34
let go of the feeling you're having and
12:36
refocus or continue and kind of see
12:38
where it takes you just because you're
12:40
having a negative moment doesn't
12:42
necessarily think it's going to end that
12:44
way so if you want to kind of see how it
12:46
plays out you can however more more so
12:50
more people would probably do I'm not
12:52
sure you should try that and I do that
12:53
when I meditate I kind of just let it go
12:55
and see where it goes
12:56
excuse you can see where it goes because
12:58
most of the time it just ends up going
13:00
nowhere and I come back to what I'm
13:01
doing anyway so I kind of like the
13:03
surprise they're going okay I'm kind of
13:05
lost in thought I'm kind of whatever you
13:07
do let's just kind of go with it and by
13:09
the end of the five minutes
13:11
so you're leaning into it and that's an
13:14
expression that we use you're leaning
13:16
into it and saying okay it's here let me
13:19
figure out what it is it's trying to
13:21
tell me lean into it and I think that
13:23
that that is part of what meditation
13:25
allows you to do they always talk about
13:27
the thoughts that come in just either
13:29
you know come right back to your
13:31
breathing or follow the thought or it's
13:33
a leaf on the water and the leaf is like
13:36
floating down the water and follow the
13:38
leaf the same thing follow the thought
13:39
lean into be where it takes you
13:42
and lastly here they say a tuning and
13:44
this is to Discerning particular flavors
13:47
as they call it of an emotion number one
13:50
here see if you can identify a feeling
13:51
or sensation you're experiencing are you
13:54
shaky do you feel a little itchy
13:56
whatever that is you don't have to make
13:58
a story just
14:00
pick a word and go that's your feeling
14:02
number two it's hard to put a finger on
14:06
it sometimes so if you can't pick a word
14:08
just kind of go this is fine uh this is
14:11
kind of annoying whatever it is one and
14:14
two are interchangeable pick that one
14:16
little thing and then number three
14:17
whatever you are trying to attune
14:19
remember that's the word here too or
14:21
however you're labeling it this feeling
14:23
is what it is you just realized you
14:27
can't do anything about it it's just is
14:29
what it is so it's kind of a trickery
14:31
put into play where they make you think
14:34
okay you're gonna make a thing and by
14:36
number three
14:37
you're just doing it right and then you
14:39
go oh okay
14:42
Okay
14:42
cool so these are some very interesting
14:45
thing if you guys want to re check it
14:47
out go read there but resilience
14:49
neuroplasticity whatever you want to use
14:51
is a
14:53
a good it's a good sign stopper to look
14:56
up if anybody if if you haven't heard
14:57
about it guys Google it it's a very
14:59
interesting word it's a very interesting
15:00
idea and the proof is out there people
15:02
who are up there in age who are you know
15:05
completing really hard puzzles who are
15:07
doing whatever and they're they're
15:09
telling you well how they're doing it
15:11
it's proof that it doesn't matter really
15:13
what position you're in you just do it
15:16
and if you do it enough you will
15:18
quote unquote turn back the brand called
15:21
so to speak right on your building
15:23
that's why they say it's really
15:24
important as we get older that we do
15:26
things like that because it does turn
15:28
things back on so yes definitely and I
15:31
always say I like to do as many puzzles
15:33
as I can we do jigsaw puzzles uh shida
15:35
Sudoku
15:36
um I like word searches or crosswords
15:39
so
15:40
all right
15:42
choking on myself here
15:44
where'd my page go oh there it is I'm
15:47
losing everything okay
15:50
lastly and this probably goes more to
15:53
our mental topic here Advantage Mental
15:57
Health Center wrote a quick little uh
16:00
blog here it's a three minute read from
16:02
2020. five useful ways to respond to
16:05
anxiety because sometimes the way you
16:08
react will affect you
16:10
end your day basically
16:13
number one know what it is you're
16:15
working with is it that really easy
16:17
anxiety that you can just kind of go you
16:20
know
16:21
you know the word or is it the really
16:23
hard one that kind of just sits there
16:24
and sticks to your face and you don't
16:26
know what to do
16:27
it doesn't matter how you operate it's
16:30
how you look at it according to them
16:33
notice how you're feeling notice what
16:36
you're thinking and then continue on
16:37
with your day know what you're working
16:39
with
16:41
it's kind of a vague way to put it but I
16:43
guess I kind of see what they're saying
16:45
it's kind of it it goes back to the you
16:47
know you're having a problem okay that's
16:50
great
16:51
now just go on with your day and do it
16:54
so
16:54
I don't know how useful that is
16:56
personally but I do find it useful to at
17:00
least pinpoint what it is
17:02
maybe talk about it maybe write it down
17:05
whatever
17:06
and then see what you can do about it if
17:09
you can but still go about your schedule
17:11
as you're doing because the last thing
17:13
you want to do you know I know most
17:15
people
17:16
is let it linger and just kind of sit
17:20
there and go hmm and then three hours
17:22
later you're still going the I think we
17:25
talked about this a couple of shows ago
17:27
Dr Russell Kennedy he wrote a book
17:29
called the anxiety RX and he talks very
17:31
very clearly about anxiety how most of
17:35
us have been trained to think that it's
17:37
all in our head right it's all in our
17:39
head except
17:41
that Dr Kennedy says no actually it's
17:44
not in your head you make you may hear
17:46
it in your head but it's in your body so
17:48
it's not it's not above your neck but
17:50
it's below your neck and he also talks
17:53
about leaning into it and experiencing
17:55
it and then letting it go very similar
17:57
to what you just read there there you go
18:01
number two practiced emotion focused
18:04
coping While most of us will like to run
18:07
it off eat it off or talk it off those
18:10
are more temporary according to the blog
18:12
writer here emotion based or stress
18:15
management is much better to do for a
18:18
long term they don't have any examples
18:20
but I would say something like
18:21
meditation journaling
18:24
um you know having an in-depth
18:26
conversation with somebody about it
18:27
those are manageable things to do that
18:30
are emotional focused Stress Management
18:33
to me is kind of an overused word it's
18:35
more of a business term now than
18:36
anything so I kind of stray from that
18:38
term but doing an exercise that makes
18:41
you stop and think or stop and look or
18:45
stop and whatever other verbs you want
18:48
to use that's the kind of thing they're
18:50
focusing on now you can because like
18:52
they say exercise does not only just
18:54
help the body but the Mind do the
18:56
exercise because honestly I'm gonna have
18:58
to disagree with him here that actually
19:00
does get me out of my bubble when I need
19:02
to when I go and do a good exercise set
19:04
for eight or ten minutes I feel much
19:06
better than if I were to sit down and
19:08
meditate do I still meditate afterwards
19:10
of course I do but
19:12
this I think is more for those who might
19:14
be using the physical activity for the
19:16
wrong doing and using more of an
19:19
emotional base if you do therapy or if
19:21
you haven't done therapy that's another
19:22
emotion focused coping mechanism because
19:25
you are
19:27
discussing you are debating do whatever
19:30
it is so I don't know I mean I'm going
19:32
to say 50 50. for me personally the
19:35
physical activity works better but I'm
19:37
not going to go against this guy and say
19:39
no because I can see how some people
19:41
might prefer this kind of activity
19:44
maybe just for ease and again what we're
19:48
saying guys is that you know pick what
19:50
works for you if the you know the
19:53
settling in and breathing and meditation
19:55
all that works for you then then do that
19:57
but as Rob says in his case he likes to
20:00
get out there and do some exercise
20:01
because that's what pops his bubble and
20:04
that and that works now for me that
20:07
doesn't I'm I'm on the other Camp I am
20:09
very much sitting down when I have
20:11
anxiety I'll do a breathing exercise or
20:13
I'll do something that will focus the
20:16
last thing I want to do is go out and
20:17
walk I go out and walk because I have to
20:20
not because it helps me so I mean I will
20:23
yeah I agree it's good to do I just
20:25
think for the the immediate release of
20:27
of kind of feeling better a good
20:30
exercise for me kind of gets me out and
20:32
then afterwards I can then sit back and
20:34
kind of see what else I got to do all
20:36
right uh there's a number three be
20:40
realistic well duh
20:42
um this is the the face that I get at
20:45
home that's a new side joke guys but the
20:48
question what do you think will happen
20:49
it's it's as easy as that anxiety OCD
20:53
whatever it is obviously causes I can
20:55
tell you from experience the unrealistic
20:58
things of what's going to go on now
21:00
I do caveat because common sense is also
21:04
as important as being realistic
21:07
some people will say okay well the
21:09
anxiety is not real I'm going to go out
21:10
and do that anyway
21:12
don't don't just do that still use your
21:15
brain and use your smarts the difference
21:18
that I'm speaking of here is the
21:20
outlandish things that continuously come
21:22
back to me because it's part of anxiety
21:24
right but it's kind of at a point when
21:26
you realize even as you're saying you're
21:28
concerned you're like whoa that's
21:31
creative
21:32
that's that's a little weird that's the
21:35
realism part here uh be realistic what
21:37
will happen don't stop being smart just
21:41
continue to be realistic
21:44
if that makes sense to you guys I just
21:46
thought I'd caveat there because a lot
21:47
of people have gotten confused sometimes
21:49
where it's like
21:51
if you say do it do it but that's not
21:53
always the case don't just do it because
21:55
do it you use your comment you know
21:57
common sense right number four here
21:59
accept meaningful challenges
22:02
don't go for the big stuff automatically
22:04
don't go for the long term automatically
22:06
pick the things you do for instance
22:08
every day I go out for a drive 5-10
22:10
minutes that's my outdoorsy why because
22:13
I don't like being outdoors I don't not
22:16
not
22:17
just because of what's Happening
22:18
previous but this what's happened didn't
22:20
make it any better so I go out daily and
22:23
do that just to make me get more used to
22:26
get out of some comfort zone right get
22:28
out get out of my comfort zone case
22:29
important last weekend we're actually
22:30
out for almost an hour and I had no itch
22:34
to come back home I was actually cool
22:35
just driving around I told her forgot
22:37
what time it was I'm like oh it's
22:39
already that like wow that's what you do
22:41
to get yourself a meaningful challenge
22:43
pick something that's gonna work for you
22:45
to do don't expect the overnight that's
22:48
not gonna happen I know overnight is not
22:50
a realistic thing it might be a lifetime
22:53
thing guys that the thing that I look at
22:55
it for me
22:56
it's not a cure-all it's a workaround
22:59
all it's a what can I do today not
23:03
tomorrow to just do what I got to do
23:05
tomorrow will be a whole different day
23:07
of things so what can I do today to do
23:10
what I got to do that's my meaningful
23:12
challenges would you say that you have
23:15
similar ideas as well you do what you do
23:18
to
23:19
function yeah absolutely absolutely I I
23:25
think that um I tend to
23:28
um get lazy sometimes and um not often
23:32
but not real yeah
23:34
um but I do agree with that is that you
23:36
just have to take that first step the
23:37
first bite they you know had what do
23:39
they say how do you eat a frog one bite
23:40
at a time and my favorite is how do you
23:43
eat a whale one bite at a time and
23:45
that's an analogy guys that's an analogy
23:47
that we don't really mean you should go
23:48
out and eat a frog or a whale we're
23:49
saying that do everything in in bits and
23:52
and you build on that habit and then you
23:54
do a little bit more and you do a little
23:56
bit more before you know it you're
23:57
driving around and it's an hour right
23:59
you didn't even know that you were out
24:00
for that long and that's like stepping
24:03
into your your your fear sometimes I I
24:06
sometimes have to like just just close
24:08
my eyes and go for it you know just just
24:11
do it
24:12
lastly on the list here relate to your
24:15
anxiety
24:17
um and again this is also hard for me
24:18
too he says things like you know applaud
24:21
yourself make you know
24:23
um give yourself the praise when you get
24:25
something done it's hard when you don't
24:27
think you are worthy of it to give
24:29
yourself the high five but he says
24:31
that's how you relate to it give
24:33
yourself the thumbs up get a cookie do
24:35
whatever you want when you do something
24:37
good that's the only way that your brain
24:40
or your soul for that matter is going to
24:44
understand
24:45
that it's okay to do that so that's
24:48
probably the most important one relate
24:50
to it pretend like it's somebody you
24:52
live with it doesn't have to go away
24:54
it's just like hey you're going to be
24:55
here you're going to be here for a while
24:57
right whatever pull up a chair get comfy
25:00
go take a nap in the corner I'll deal
25:02
with you when I get to you that's what
25:04
you got to do and
25:07
but give your
25:09
s because when you do something it
25:11
sounds silly but like I've said to you
25:12
when you say good job on something when
25:14
Chris has a good job it's not like I
25:16
need the good job but I appreciate the
25:18
hearing of it because for some odd
25:20
reason I never accepted that before I
25:23
never gave it to myself so now that I'm
25:25
hearing it kind of like the first time
25:27
ever it's more important because I'm
25:29
actually sucking it in and going ooh I
25:33
got the good job like I got the thumbs
25:34
up right give yourself the time to do
25:37
that and that's how you relate to it so
25:39
if you guys want to go back and look at
25:40
Andy's articles they're all very short
25:42
very quick we try to give you stuff that
25:44
you can read in like five or ten minutes
25:47
um but that's a lot of stuff we got a
25:49
lot of things yeah a lot of stuff and I
25:51
really I do encourage people to go read
25:53
them they are short so go in and take a
25:55
look at it and find out something that
25:57
you maybe you didn't know before and we
25:59
want to give you some resources as we do
26:01
every single time uh the NIMH National
26:04
Institute of Mental Health and that is
26:06
the nimh.nih.gov
26:10
um and then of course Nami and that is
26:12
the National Alliance on Mental Illness
26:15
um both of them are great resources
26:16
nami.org and
26:19
um finally and you know we we say this
26:21
every week and I sort of think that
26:22
everybody knows that this is existing
26:24
and that's the 988 number
26:26
um but we're getting some response from
26:28
people that hadn't heard of this yet
26:30
um and it's similar to 9-1-1 where
26:33
that's an emergency this is a mental
26:35
health emergency 988 and you call it
26:37
it's a central
26:39
um short code just put 988 into your
26:41
phone and they will direct you to the
26:43
right person in the right country the
26:45
right state right City so that you can
26:47
talk because guys
26:50
people we're all here for you we are all
26:53
here for you talk to a friend talk to a
26:56
family member call 988 go do some
26:58
research we are here for you to help we
27:01

27:02
that's the message You Are Not Alone
27:05

27:06
