LDS Mental Health Podcast

Send us a textMay is Mental Health Awareness month so I am taking different aspects of mental health and looking at them through a spiritual lens. On this episode we are discussing ADHD and I have welcomed Kamden Hainsworth. Kamden is a mom of 4, an elementary school teacher by trade, and now is an ADHD coach. With her own diagnosis and understanding how her brain works she learned how to give herself compassion, set herself up for more success, and take back her agency and have choice in her daily life. She now helps others do the same and today she is sharing how the gospel applies to it all.Check out the Connection Coursehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/connection-courseConnect with Kamden Hainsworth@thebusybrainedsaint@kamden_adhdYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 87: The Natural Man: The Enemy to Your Mental Healthhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/87 Episode 65: Accessing Mental and Physical Strength Beyond Your Ownhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/65 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoachingClick the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textEver since President Nelson urged members to “stretch beyond your current spiritual ability to receive personal revelation” I have felt a desire to do just that.At first I wasn’t sure how I could stretch any further as I was already consistent with my prayers and scripture study. But I knew I was missing something and wanted to go beyond my “spiritual ability to receive revelation.” So I started trying new things. I went on a journey to to change the way I asked, the way I thanked, and the way I received.This experience brought about not only changes in my life, but I learned how to help others learn to stretch as receive personal revelation for their lives.Let me share with you how it all works and how to do this for yourself. NOW OPENClarity in the Chaos Course: Revelation Meditations https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/meditationSeeking Personal Revelation Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/revelation You might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 78: When You Don't Get What You Desire From Prayerhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/78Episode 75.

Send us a textRevelation Meditations are not your typical meditations that relax you to fall asleep, or clear your mind of thoughts. Truth is, I can debunk that idea!When it comes to personal revelation you don't want to clear your mind of thoughts, you want to have CLARITY in your THOUGHTS!  Finding that clarity will help you be able to find connection, knowledge, and understanding of what it is that God is saying to you.Does that sound great to you? Then listen in because the idea that your mind needs to be cleared is just one of the revelation meditation myths that I am debunking today on the Meaningful Minutes Podcast.NOW OPENClarity in the Chaos Course: Revelation Meditations https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/meditationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 90: How Meditation Prepared Me For an Unexpected Hospital Stayhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/90Episode 75.

Send us a textIf you’re like most women, before they start working with me, then you probably feel overwhelmed, exhausted...and wondering how long you can endure physically, mentally and spiritually, am I right?Women often think that in order to feel peace in their thoughts, have confidence in their decisions, and get more done they need to come up with a big plan to do more and execute it perfectly.The truth is, the real culprit is the natural man. The natural man is a part of this life. He lies to us about our capabilities, our strengths, and about our divine worth. It can be hard to combat those thoughts and doubts.The good news? Meditation can help you do that.In this episode of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I am sharing how meditation can help you combat the natural man so that you can see your worth, feel more confident, and accomplish more in your daily life.NOW OPENClarity in the Chaos Course: Revelation Meditations Use code:PODCAST at checkout for $50 offhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/meditationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 89: Pondering your Prayers, A Form of Meditationhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/89 Episode 70: How Emotions Block Revelationhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/70 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textAs most of you have seen, I spent almost 5 days in the hospital at the end of February. It started with a gut ache that quickly turned into severe pain and I ended up in the emergency room.I had a lot of still time on my hands as a crippling headache required that I keep the room quiet. Luckily I had been spending a lot of time meditating prior to my hospital stay so I was unexpectedly prepared.In this episode of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I will give you a little recap of my crazy stay, the back and forth that my body went through, and how meditation was a saving grace while I was there. Join the WaitlistClarity in the Chaos Course: Revelation Meditations https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/meditationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 88: Meditation, The Sacred Door to Daily Repentancehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/88Episode 85: Opposition is the Opportunity to Return to the Saviorhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/85 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textIf you have been listening to these podcasts for long you would catch that I am a big advocate of pondering your prayers before you even begin to say them. In past episodes, I have talked a lot about the benefits of pondering your prayers but today I want to focus on how that can also achieve your goal of learning how to meditate. President David O. McKay was a big proponent of meditation and he said “Meditation is the language of the soul. It is defined as ‘a form of private devotion, or spiritual exercise, consisting in deep, continued reflection on some religious theme.’ Meditation is a form of prayer.”In this episode I dive into how you can make meditation a part of your prayer to help you receive more in those moments, gain strength beyond your own, accomplish more, and find clarity in the chaos of life.Join the waitlist Clarity in the Chaos Course: Revelation Meditations https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/meditationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 74: The Art of Meaningful Prayerhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/74 Episode 88: Meditation, The Sacred Door to Daily Repentancehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/88 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textHave you heard our prophet and apostles talking about the need for daily repentance and thought, what do I need to repent for on a daily basis?It’s common to think that because when we hear the word repentance a lot of people immediately think of deep guilt for a “big” sin.   Which can be the case, but it’s so much more than that!  President Nelson taught, “Repentance is not an event; it is a process. It is the key to happiness and peace of mind,”Repentance is about moving on from something, making a change, and clearing our minds.On this week’s episode of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I discuss how meditation can be a guide to daily repentance and turn “the key to happiness and peace of mind.”Join the waitlist Clarity in the Chaos Course: Revelation Meditations https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/meditationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 46: The Belief That Keeps You From the Blessing of Repentancehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode-46Episode 78: When You Don't Get What You Desire From Prayerhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/78Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077
