We all go through difficult times, and we all battle with “mental health.” If there is a mental health day, it should be something that raises awareness that all people suffer from the “human condition”, that emotions like sadness, stress, grief and unhappiness are a normal part of life, and that we are there to help one another. This should not be a day to stigmatize some people with the label of “mentally ill” and deem others as “normal”.Sign up to Patreon to get access to the ad-free version of this session + more bonus items: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf.Read the blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/should-we-have-mental-health-days-at-schoolOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-Gladskin: Right now, Gladskin is offering my listeners 15% off plus free shipping on your first order at gladskin.com/DRLEAF.-Chime: Get started with Chime today.

Depression is something we should never ignore. When we feel depressed, we need to listen to what our mind, brain and body are trying to tell us.  Depression is a signal telling us we have something going on—that there is a “because of…” in our life that we need to investigate. The sooner you recognize the signals associated with feelings of depression, the sooner you can make the necessary adjustments to your life and get the help you need to start healing.Sign up to Patreon to get access to the ad-free version of this session + more bonus items: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf.Read the blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-main-signals-of-depression-how-to-find-healingOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-Athletic Greens: All you have to do is visit athleticgreens.com/leaf to take ownership over your health and pick up the ultimate daily nutritional insurance!-BiOptimizer’s Magnesium Breakthrough: For an exclusive offer for my listeners go to http://www.magbreakthrough.com/leaf and use DRLEAF10 during checkout to save 10% on your order.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:4:00 What is depression?5:30 Depression as a signal12:00 What are the main signals of depression?15:00 Using mind management to deal with feelings of depression17:00, 25:00 The 4 main types of warning signals29:10 Why we need to get to the “why” behind the depression36:30 Why things sometimes get worse before they get better & the importance of a strong support systemADDITIONAL RESOURCES:-Get my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.com-Get a free Cleaning up Your Mental Mess workbook when you subscribe to my weekly email at drleaf.com!-Sign up to join my free text program and receive mental health care tips.

The first training will be on August 4-7 in Dallas, Texas. Just use code INAUG25 to get your discount: https://neurocycleinstitute.comEPISODE DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk about the benefits of laughing at yourself. Laughter neutralizes situations, and a neutral situation is a safe space where deep meaningful relationships are made and strengthened. Laughing at oneself shows vulnerability, honesty and humility. It tells your loved ones that you know you are not perfect. Laughing, instead of getting upset or defensive, can form a bond of trust with the people in your life.Sign up to Patreon to get access to bonus ad-free podcasts, exclusive downloads, live Q&As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf.For the blog & show notes: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-healing-power-of-laughing-at-yourselfOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-Athletic Greens: All you have to do is visit athleticgreens.com/leaf to take ownership over your health and pick up the ultimate daily nutritional insurance!-Thrive Causemetics: Right now, you can get 15% off your first order when you visit thrivecausemetics.com/DRLEAF.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:2:52 Why laughing at yourself is so important4:30 The power of laughing at our mistakes7:54 How laughter neutralizes tense situations12:10 It is okay to be vulnerable!13:00 How laughing at ourselves can improve our relationships18:30 It is okay to make mistakes!ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:-Get my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.com-Get a free Cleaning up Your Mental Mess workbook when you subscribe to my weekly email at drleaf.com!-Sign up to join my free text program and receive mental health care tips.
