Bio

Hello, I earned my Bachelor's degree specializing in neuroscience and minoring in psychology.  I've had extensive experience both personally and professionally dealing with individuals with various mental illnesses.  People have told me all my life that I am easy to talk to and I am open-minded to everyone's opinions.  I try to foster an environment where people feel as if they can speak their minds freely an be themselves when around me.

Perseverance: When to give up

...See more Perseverance has always been an interesting quality that many people praise others for having.  It is defined as the ability to continue pushing forward towards your goal even when progress is slow or when obstacles are thrown in your way.  It can lead to great accomplishments, like earning a degree or overcoming a personal struggle.  However, perseverance towards a harmful goal can become destructive, hurting yourself and others along the way.  I see this play out most often with my mom.  I have to admit that I do not have the perseverance that she does but I see often how it becomes destructive.  For example, it was her perseverance that allowed her to earn her degree despite multiple setbacks and examination failures along the way but she did not give up until she earned her degree.  However, this same characteristic also causes her to sacrifice her own mental health and well-being to help someone who doesn't want to be helped.  She just can't let things go until her goal has been reached.  Seeing this growing up, I learned that despite being told that I need to persevere, there should be a limit, a time to give up.  I was involved with someone who kept stringing me along, and despite knowing it wasn’t healthy, I couldn’t let go. I kept pushing, trying to show how caring I was and hoping he’d see what he was missing. I also pressured him to give me a clear answer on whether he wanted to be with me or not. In the end, this persistence only caused me to develop mental health issues, leaving me miserable. Looking back, I realize I should have walked away much earlier. In my opinion, perseverance can be an amazing quality.  However, when trying to reach that goal, your own health starts to decline and it's starting to take over your entire life, it might be time to give up.   What signs might indicate that it’s time to stop pushing for something and let go?
Self-awareness for personal growth

...See more Self-awareness is an important skill that enables us to grow continuously by consistently being reflective of our own thoughts, feelings, and desires.  It involves being aware and thinking about our internal thought processes, recognizing our strength and weaknesses, and identifying situations that trigger certain emotions.  When we are more self-aware, we can manage and regulate our reactions and responses to various situations allowing us to be non-reactive. I've been told by others that I'm pretty self-aware of my own actions and thoughts, which has served me quite well in a lot of my relationships throughout life.  Even when I was young, whenever I got upset, I often reflected on what events led up to that moment and how my personality impacted the situation and how my actions came off to the other person involved in the situation.  This allows me to create a deeper understanding of not only what my strengths and weaknesses are but also the events that lead up to my reactions.  By identifying these, I'm able to recognize situations before it occurs and I can approach these situations with an open mind and non-reactiveness.  For example, one of my weaknesses is quick temper. However, over the years I've learned the signs of anger approaching such as a little flicker in my heart.  Once I notice this now,  I take steps to remove myself from the situation to calm down as anger doesn't help resolve conflicts for me.  With this, I am able to now handle situations that would typically anger me but in a calm fashion.  Discussion Prompt: Have you ever struggled with managing your emotions, like a quick temper? How did self-awareness help you improve in that area?
