Dear Young Man chukwuemeka daniels

Shame is mental health's greatest weapon. It confers shame on you by telling you that you are wrong for feeling the way you feel. 

Instead of allowing shame to be the boss of you, TALK ABOUT IT. Talk about it to people you trust, to your diary, to your phone, just let out how you feel and what you fear to the light. 

Pain and struggles fear the light. Expose it. Speak up. Verbalize your fears and struggles, and see just how better you will feel afterwards. 

Talk to yourself! 

Talk positively to yourself. You deserve to be positive and have all the good things in life. 

Talking positive self-talk is an underrated tool. Fill your mind with who you are and want to be. 

"You are the only one feeling this way!" 

"Everyone else is sane and happy, but you are not!"

"Nobody will listen to you!"

These are all lies. You are not alone. 

In this episode, I remind you that you have a community of people just like you, so don't you ever feel alone. 

When we go through tough days, our head suggests to us who we are, our head tells us that what we are feeling is who we are. But that is not true. 

You are not your feelings! 

Because you feel sad and depressed does not mean you are a sad and depressed person. 

That is not you.

Living with mental health struggles can mess your mind so much that you hate yourself every single time you slip, relapse. You berate yourself for feeling how you feel, and whatever else you do to alleviate the pain. There is a voice in your head that never forgives you for not being strong enough. 

Forgive yourself! 

Extend grace to your being, to your person. Forgive yourself!

The year is about to end, and this is the time when we score ourselves. In this episode, I share daily activities that you can do to help you recalibrate your mind for the coming year, and begin the year as the best version of yourself. 



Be grateful. Have immense gratitude for life and all that you have achieved and watch your mental health improve drastically
