Hello and welcome to the first edition of Mental Health Monday. The beautiful collaboration between !fitness@hexbear.net and !mentalhealth@hexbear.net.
Mental health and exercise go together perfectly. They are a classic combo on the level of peanut butter & jelly, pancakes & syrup, and capitalism & widening contradictions.
Exercise has been shown to improve mental health.
Pretty cool, huh? So from here on out were are going to work on the marriage of the two.
So as those who have gone through it know, it is nearly fucking impossible to exercise while in the midst of a panic attack or depressive episode. So if anyone has tips, tricks, or advice for someone dealing with anxiety, depression, or anything else that may be getting in the way drop it here.
Hopefully better advice than the meme (see how I brought that all around?)

:bottle: While you're around add some tunes to the community workout playlist :bottle:
:party-parrot: Then use that playlist while you workout. :party-parrot:
:haram: Check out all the changes happening starting today and say if you like it or hate it :halal:
What are some ways you rephrase negative into positive thinking? I've been in a rut lately and it's partly about how I see things.
I went to a therapist who really pushed CBT and it helped me a lot.
This article is pretty much what we touched on the whole time. Theres a few handouts in the "Magnification, Overgeneralization, and Other Cognitive Distortions" section and some guides that are pretty helpful of how to notice and implement the reframing.
Thank you. :penguin-love:
