Normalizing Our Mental Health!

This post is personal and it is shared in the name of creating a Life You Love. I love life, I love love (yes, I love kindness/love/good people, they rock my world). I love my family, friends and happy moments of pure joy and laughter. I love deep conversations, authenticity, laughing, making people laugh, and simple joys and inspiration every day. I am blessed beyond measure, I have already experienced so much goodness. I am passionate about my family, our love, our relationships because I put my heart and soul into all. Each stage and decade I learn and grow, and all my experiences (the good times and the challenging ones) were built around me growing, stalling, looking for answers, and having to trust myself and coach myself. My biggest tool is Yoga on and off the mat (among other important choices)--but that is just part of my story of happiness, inspiration, productivity & peace.

Pam Guyer is..... (people's words, not mine)

Dynamic, Magnetic, Funny, Kind, Loving and the real deal.

Best Speaker, Motivator, Inspirational and Passionate.

Heart Centered Leader, Mama Bear, Advocate, Loyal, Positive, Encourager, Funny, Cheerleader, what ever she touches turns to Gold (well, not really but I love that people have described me that way). Spiritual, Brave, Strong, Relatable, Role Model & Mentor.

She's our Oprah. She's Magic.

I know that girl, she is part of me and it's hard to write the glowing things that people say, but it is important that I am clear on these things, because other people (OP) will say other things (we need to remember what other people think or say is none of our business, that's on them/their stuff).

I am a Dreamer, Believer, Manifester, Doer, Intuitive (high EQ) Champion/Cheerleader, Spiritual Leader, Whole Human.

I am a WHOLE HUMAN. You are too! This is Authentic Leadership & Living....

What you don't see behind my cheerful smile, my beautiful & blessed life, my positive spirit and my post worthy pictures are my struggles, setbacks, sensitivity & successes as it relates to MH.

MH stands for Mental Health in case you did not pick up on that, it is something we all have and we all benefit from addressing and accommodating in our lives. We all have it be it situational or baseline, it hides in our busy lives, fear, need to belong/accepted, denial, distancing and numbing.

You don't see these things, but I deal, manage, accommodate them most days, some days more than others. Living HIPP is not this happy sappy brand, it is actually tools, rituals and practices that promote self care, positivity, and a proven framework to build a life you love based on You. It is a road map and blueprint to help us accommodate our own health (mind/body/spirit) and to lean into our best life (always lean positive or present) while embracing the whole human, because we all have these parts of us that make us brilliantly shine (but many stay in the dark of their thoughts and judgement). Living HIPP means more to me now than it did a decade ago, I created what I did not know I would need more than ever. But this is not about me, this is important for all of us, at least those of us that want to live our best life & live with love, joy, peace and the unknown. These are tools and a proven framework, daily practices & rituals (hope and healing) and also giving yourself grace, rest, and compassion when needed--women are desperate for more of this and I am here to share it.

These MH issues I shared are not me, they are just a part of me, and at times they are dormant, but other times they can be triggered and I need to accommodate--my daily practices are like preventive care--it just helps me live better. My lifestyle and choices on the daily also help to accommodate, because without intention and action, I would not be able to RISE and answer the call to show up as my best self, which is the whole human, all of it!

In the past decade, I have had to assess, accept, treat, love and integrate the parts of me I have wanted to run from, because they are more fragile, vulnerable, it's easier to be performing than it is to just be (neither are wrong, it is just a state of self awareness).

BTS and part of my Living HIPP (and the reason behind it) is accommodating my own Mental Health journey.

Behind my smile is also Anxiety, ADHD, Addictive Personality (hello Addiction), Depression--I am not those things, but they are part of me and something I am aware of every single day. I don't focus on the problems and these things do not define me, I address them, treat them and nurture them (because avoiding them does not allow us to grow). For the majority of my life I had to work extra hard for everything (yes, I was a hard worker) but having serious ADHD (which I did not know or treat appropriately) demanded so much (it's exhausting) as I reflect on it. I wonder how many people are brushing off their "things" and trying so hard to be "normal". What if I told you your life will become better, when you begin this work (and it is not overnight). It's worth it and YOU are worth it!

I focus on gratitude, my blessings, feel good vibes, simple joys, authenticity & wholeness. I equally practice and have a tool box that helps with healing, awareness, habits, behaviors, mindset, spirituality and mind/body care.

Why am I sharing this?

I am here to inspire millions (I know that to my core), how can I inspire you and the world without sharing the whole picture, my whole human experience and Living HIPP became the lifestyle & framework to support not only my Mental Health but to live a life I love.

Mic Drop.

Peace. Love. Heal. Be Real.

Do you need to go on SM and say this? NOOOOOO, this is your invitation to get to know yourself better, to accept the whole you, to expand in your beauty, to love the shadows and bring them into the light.

I am not titles, brands, companies, clubs, my strengths/weaknesses or my setbacks/challenges or what other people think. I don't fit into any narrative out there, I can't force one school or thought or the other, I have my own thoughts, and I want to shine light on this in a positive and helpful way. I can't try and fit into an ideal or area, I can only share my truth and tell my story. I am me.

I am committed to living how, where and the way I want (HIPP) on my own terms (FREE). I am also committed to inspire you (all of you) to do the same. The most important relationship you have is the one you have with yourself. Be there for her, listen, take action, surrender, be brave, know that we are all fighting a battle you don't see. Don't focus on that, flip it on it's head (acceptance) with love, care and being self aware. Darling Girl, your love, your heart, your spirit is your superpower! Let's unleash it like never before, let's embrace the things you have been avoiding and let's make room for the amazing life you have and to truly let your light shine. Need I remind you that your light and my light and her light is what makes this world a brighter, happier and kinder place. Stand with your hands on your HIPP! XO #livinghipp
