00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 Maybe you have a mental health condition or have a loved one who does.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08 With one in four in the United States alone with one,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10 it's an important topic.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11 Stay tuned.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15 Hello,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 and welcome to MOMO 634,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:23 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:31 MOMO 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53 Like many months and days related to awareness issues,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 it's meant to address myths,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 misconceptions,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 and provide facts along with support.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06 Because there aren't enough days or months in the year to cover

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08 every condition,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11 many of these awareness recognitions overlap.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 May is no different.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17 It's also Foster Care Awareness Month.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23 I think this is fitting because so many of our precious youth

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 in foster care come

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 from situations that affect their mental health.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32 My two youngest were adopted out of the foster care system.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:38 Both have put in extremely hard and difficult work to break

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 generational cycles and

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 address their mental health issues.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47 As I said in my recent interview with the Christian Chronicle,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 soon to be made into a featured article in the publication,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:52 by the way,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57 often when people hear someone has a mental health diagnosis,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01 they're looked at and treated a little differently rather than

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02 those with other

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 medical conditions are treated.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09 If you are blessed not to understand mental health issues

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11 because you don't have to

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14 live with one or have someone close to you who does,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 you can still do your best to become educated.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23 You never know when you might be called upon to do so.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 Or, as I've seen in a few cases...

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31 be the person who later on did suffer a depressive episode and

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33 truly did realize

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36 the error of their misguided previous judgments.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:42 The very best we can do is exhibit the golden rule as expressed

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 by Jesus in Matthew 7.12.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47 In everything,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:47 then,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50 do to others as you would have them do to you,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54 for this is the essence of the law and the prophets.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59 Our Momoism for today draws on this concept.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02 Sometimes we get grace from others.

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05 Sometimes we give grace to others.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09 In all things, value, grace.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14 Keep it tuned right here this month as we discuss signs,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15 symptoms,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19 and support this Mental Health Awareness Month.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23 I'm linking the resource guide shared during Worldwide Mental

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25 Health Day below this

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26 episode at momo634.com.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 I'm not sure if you can hear it in the background,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36 but we are on day two of severe thunderstorms,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38 flash floods,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40 and tornado watches here in Texas.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45 And hopefully I can edit it and crank it out while we're still

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46 blessed with power.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51 Chime in with your best tip for positive mental health as we

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53 enter this Mental

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54 Health Awareness Month.

00:03:55 --> 00:04:00 And if you can, show some love to Children's Homes Incorporated.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:04 They're a blessing to foster children and families.
