Coming Alive: 4 Tools to Defeat Your Inner Enemy

Did you know that 25% of U.S. adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder each year? The problem is clear. We've got a mental health crisis taking place.

Here's a Johns Hopkins article citing National Institute of Mental Health Disorders statistics regarding the mental health crisis. The news isn’t good.

Workplace stress is another domain demanding vigilant awareness, experience, knowledge, and intellect as we each see the value of being part of the solution. Sure, there are good kinds of stress, like going to the gym, taking a hike, or walking 7,343 steps, but bad stress can easily overwhelm us.

It’s all about taking a stand and doing our best to manage our inner games. Becoming part of the solution means we learn simple psychology concepts (inner game) to apply at home, work, and in between, even if the work commute is a few strides down the hall.

Awareness is the gateway to mental health education and improvement for us all. Education is the steps we take to read, learn, and share. Being okay with talking about it can also be helpful. No shame.

Coming Alive, a Great Book

Medium stopped paying me due to a technical problem on their end. Their support is unwilling or able to help me. So, I stopped writing. Get a grip, Medium.
