For my mental health I walk to and from work. It's only a few blocks but it gives me a great way to pause, before and after my work day, to breathe the fresh air and watch the changing seasons.

This workshop came at a very tough time in my life and it was much needed for me. It was a great reminder of how to handle all emotions and to continue to care for myself (and my family) personally and professionally.

Mental health matters because it impacts all of us - our family, friends, and community. When we all strive to listen more, support one another, do what we can, and be mindful, good things happen.

What gratitude means to me is being healthy and giving. I am thankful for every day of life and giving to all. A few of my favorite things are movies, travel and being with my son Zack.

For my mental health I work out every day. It really helps me feel the best physically, psychologically, and emotionally. For cardio, I mix it up between walking, running, and biking, and I always work in 20 minutes of weights or body weight exercises.

Let's take a moment to practice being mindful of our ways of thinking, habits, emotional responses, and relationships.
