PODCAST BOOKS TRAINING SUBSCRIBE PODCAST BOOKS TRAINING SUBSCRIBE DIVINE INSPIRATION June 14, 2022 Time to Slow Down & Talk about Mental Health Time to Slow Down & Talk about Mental Health THE MARK DIVINE SHOW How Can We Take Care of Our Mental Health? Episode 365: Mark and Melanie Talk about Mental Health This week on the podcast, I sit down with Melanie Sliwka, Certified Unbeatable Mind Coach. For the past 12 years, Melanie has trained and worked with Navy SEALs, thought leaders, and top-performing executives. Join us for an important, candid conversation about mental health, suicide, the unique mental health challenges of veterans, and how we can take our well-being into our own hands. Key Takeaways: Always remember to PBTA. Due to childhood trauma and other traumatic life events, most of us are operating in a constant hyper aroused state. (And for veterans, combat stress can exacerbate underlying trauma that already existed.) The acronym Pause, Breathe, Think and Act can be a literal life-saver to bring the body out of "fight or flight" and back into "rest and digest" mode.  Who's your swim buddy? If you're having trouble managing your own internal dialogue and thinking processes, it's important to reach out to a positive person you can trust. Think about it right now: who is your go-to swim buddy when shit gets really bad? And how can you be someone else's swim buddy? Pharmaceutical drugs are a short-term solution. The rate of suicide among those who are taking SSRIs vs interventions through other nonpharmaceutical means is 2:1. While antidepressants can be great for short-term mental health interventions, it's important to include nonpharmaceutical interventions for long-term well-being. Get re-balanced with the basics. The big four practices for physiological rebalancing are: breath training, proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep. For 20 minutes every morning, try box breathing: inhale for five counts, hold your breath for five counts, exhale for five counts, and hold your exhaled breath for five counts. This is a completely free anti-stress medicine that you can do anytime, anywhere. Balancing the physiological system then leads to psychological space, which enables you to make better decisions across all areas of your life. LISTEN HERE WHAT I'M READING How to Change Your Mind, Michael Pollan If you're still not sold on psychedelic therapy (and even if you are), I'd highly recommend this book. I find it to be an engaging and compelling call for further research of this potentially world-changing healing modality. WHAT I'M WRITING ABOUT THIS WEEK Slow Down, You're Moving Too Fast While it might seem like humanity is choosing fear and violence at this point in history, it's really only a small group of extremely powerful individuals who are currently perpetuating - and profiting from - this damaging cycle. Fortunately, I believe strongly that this will change as we scale positive consciousness globally and begin to phase out these negative forces. In this piece, I discuss what you can do right now to change the world, starting with yourself. SHARE THIS ON TWITTER QUOTE OF THE WEEK PRACTICE OR HABIT TO TRY Which of the "big four" health practices could you stand to focus on a bit more? Between breath training, proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep, pick ONE this week to zoom in on and refine. SHARE THIS ON TWITTER That's all for now! See you next week.  Hooyah! Mark P.S.

P.P.S. The "new normal" continues SEALFIT Sheepdog Firearms Training – For Real-World Situations SEALFIT Sheepdog Firearms Training – For Real-World Situations As parents, we continually train to know what to do in times of crisis. We rise to each and every occasion that presents itself to protect our families and our communities.  We are SHEEPDOGS and are committed to training entire communities of Sheepdogs that have the confidence and capacity to respond to the call of duty. As a sheepdog, it is critical to maintain a level of situational awareness (SA). This is not a paranoid state of expectation for "the bad thing" to happen. Quite the contrary, it is a confident relaxed state of simply having the awareness of what is going on around you and the comfort of having a plan in place, and the skills to carry out the plan, should it be necessary to implement.    The opponent who "drives" the OODA Looping process has the tactical advantage.   We use the OODA Loop as our line of defense: Observe what's going on around you Orient based on training, experience, and intuition Decide what action to take Act decisively SEALFIT Sheepdog is the premier event to teach you how to take charge and defend yourself and those around you from random or planned acts of violence, natural disasters, accidents, and more. The next event is just around the corner so consider joining us in San Diego on September 12-14, 2022. LEARN MORE AND APPLY NOW Thank You to Our Sponsor: Kettle & Fire Bone broth provides incredible health benefits, delivering electrolytes and carbohydrates, which can rehydrate us better than water alone thanks to its high electrolyte content. Just one cup has 11 grams of collagen protein, so it works great as a post-workout recovery snack. It's also great for your skin, bones, and joints, and supports a healthy immune system. Kettle & Fire is my favorite bone broth on the market. I met the co-founders, brothers Nick and Justin Mares, and was so impressed with their vision to create a slow-simmer, 100% grass-fed, grass-finished bone broth that's filled with collagen, amino acids and nutrients, that I invested in the company. Kettle & Fire bone broth tastes incredible, as it was created by a world class chef. I often drink it straight up, or with a bit of spice and lemon juice. I encourage you - both as an investor and a believer in better nutrition to try Kettle & Fire.
