Not giving up. 20.02.2023

Important to remember what are triggers are, and not give in to them by giving up when things don't work out.

Find something uplifting but be particular about it. 18.02.2023

Importance of finding something uplifting to engage with. Personally I recommend listening to a choir, going to a theater production or seeing a stand-up comedian. I will say be particular and make sure it's not just noise or foul language. Make sure there's quality in it so it will enrich you if you feel broken.

Positive World Outlook 10.02.2023

Tips from my own experience on how to come to a positive world outlook. A lot of it has to do with thinking things through and being rational.

Negative World Outlook vs Positive. 10.02.2023

This is a two part episode. I focus in on three key areas of having a negative world outlook and how this can stem from growing up in trauma. Tonight I will talk about having a positive world outlook and I think it will make a lot more sense why having a positive outlook is better for you.

Rosemary recipes: Your diet and mental health 09.02.2023

I've put some recipes up on my Twitter page. The Complex PTSD Guy. They all incorporate Rosemary because it's one of the few herbs that helps with memory, which I would assume helps you focus. Focus and memory have been things I've struggled with due to stress.
