Mental Health is one of the biggest contributors to our physical wellness. Chronic stress is the cause of burnout when it isn’t properly managed, and burnout is believed to cause or worsen a number of other mental health conditions. Without self-care, we suffer, and our sleep, mood, digestion, and other processes become greatly affected.
At Holistic Wellness Strategies, mental health is their priority. Having it all is possible with a strong mental attitude and wellness. Stress affects the entire body and can lead to a number of health problems, relationship problems, and a lot of irritation. Self-care is the best tool for successfully managing stress, and other mental health issues; it allows us to begin and continue healing from the weight of life and responsibilities. Counseling is a great tool for finding out what needs to change and how to keep our thoughts and beliefs in check so that they don’t take away more than what we can actually give.
Dr. Tomi Mitchell is a board-certified family practice physician and wellness coach with her own practice. Her platform sheds light on the pain points that people face. This includes, but is not limited to: lack of self-care, poor self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. Her practice has an approach to mental wellness that can help eradicate these issues. The wellness wheel is a circular chart that shows the various effects of different environments and how those play a role in our mental health. The wheel begins clockwise with emotional, physical, environmental, financial, spiritual, intellectual, occupational, and ends with social. These segments of the wheel connect us with ourselves, our environment, others, and our purpose. This is what truly makes us feel healthier, more capable, and resilient to outside negativity and troubles.
Our lives are meant to be enriching, fulfilling, and healing to our mind, body, and spirit, and Dr. Mitchell is one to guide and challenge her patients gently to activate change and new ways of thinking. “I personally use these methods myself. I have been in the same places that my patients have. I had to overcome so many challenges in my life, and it was injurious to my mental health. Being told from an early age and into adulthood that I wasn’t any good, really weighed on me, especially when it came from people who were supposed to be teaching and encouraging me. I worked hard to prove myself, pushing myself to the brink of exhaustion. After years of damaging self-sacrifice, guilt, and the weight of traumatic experiences, I had to find out who I was and what I truly wanted. I encourage my patients to practice self-care because I know that they cannot pour from an empty cup,” Dr. Mitchell says.
“When you’re feeling burned out, no longer sure of your purpose, struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, but still putting up a front that you have it all together, this is where I can help. I have been there and have overcome some of the same things affecting you. When you’re trying too hard to be the perfect parent/spouse/professional and you’re tired of trying to figure out how to be your best self, you need to seek help,” Dr. Mitchell suggests.
Dr. Mitchell loves to help high achievers who have not yet found their purpose, find their way. “I was once one of those people, but things are so much better now and I want to help others that have been in similar situations.” Career-driven people, even those with families, that want to rebalance and shift their responsibilities into something fulfilling can find a way to do it all, using these proven strategies. “I wasn’t always the most energetic, highly intelligent, passionate woman you see today. I started out running multiple businesses, balancing being a wife and mom, and trying to achieve many things at once, to a depressing level. I made the change, and I believe you can make this positive change, too, with the help of my program.”
When everything is weighing on you or you are taking the brunt of a hit from life, mental health still remains the priority. Taking care of yourself is a necessity in all situations. There is no need for guilt or fear, when you’re taking the time to heal. With Dr. Mitchell’s expertise and guidance, there are ways to get to the place you need to be. Take that step.
