J. Cole gives an excellent example of how to use mindful meditation skill and the benefits of practicing meditation. In his interview with Angie Martinez, he also accurately differentiates between prayer and mindful meditation, both of which are beneficial.

Your annual reminder that science and faith can often be in agreement 🙏🏾 Listening to Gospel music definitely has its health benefits!

To my Therapists seeing Christian clients:
Dr. Nwosu has encountered some clients that were averse to meditation due to religious beliefs. In such cases, Dr. Nwosu considers prescribing singing and/or listening to faith-based music as a part of treatment homework. Singing/Listening to music can be a very mindful exercise with more buy in because it will align with their values/beliefs. Just remember it should be nonjudgmental…they need not focus on the quality of their singing… instead focus on fully participating in the music. 🙌🏾🎵🎤🎶

On Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder:

The act of identifying strengths in your condition is a characteristic of people with greater life satisfaction. Rather than denying that he is different, or focusing solely on the challenges of his diagnosis, Carrington takes a holistic and an empowered perspective of his health and sees the ways it has been an advantage for him. Shoutout to Bub Carrington of the @washwizards for his willingness to be open about his experiences living with #ocd

“This article critically reviews arguments and #research regarding rxpe resistance and self-defense training to support a multi-faceted rationale for including rxpe resistance as a central piece of rxpe prevention efforts in a society characterized by high rxpe rates. Contrary to some arguments against resistance training, (Ullman) argues that rxpe resistance is not mutually exclusive or contradictory to other forms of rxpe prevention, including #bystander intervention, which ultimately also relies on individuals to intervene to stop sexual assaults. #Community responsibility is important, but should not be framed as better than other forms of individual and collective empowerment or sufficient to stop rxpe. An effective approach must include education, prevention, and activism at multiple levels of the social ecology.” #violenceprevention #cornell by @psychandsounds

He chose to get up off the ground. Finish what he started (knock down the free throws), take some deep breaths, and to choose gratitude.

“Say to them,
say to the down-keepers,
the sun-slappers,
the self-soilers,
the harmony-hushers,
"Even if you are not ready for day
it cannot always be night."
You will be right.
For that is the hard home-run.

Live not for battles won.
Live not for the-end-of-the-song.
Live in the along.”

Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward
By Gwendolyn Brooks

This album is INCREDIBLE. It will make you feel something. “Whatchu Bringing?” combines jazz, soul, funk, R&B and hip-hop, bringing together artists who are individually deeply rooted in different generations of Black music. The album reminded me of the importance of joy (not fear) and community (not isolation) in the wellness, resistance, and existence of our society. It also chilled me out 😂 The answer to the question has to be love at minimum… if you’re coming, at bare minimum, you better be coming with Love.

Shoutout #torikelly for such a beautiful song. For anyone experiencing #anxiety and worry thoughts, you can relate to this one. We don’t decide many of the thoughts that come to our minds—when the brain is active it can sometimes present unhelpful thoughts! The way those anxious thoughts can spiral is truly something 😅 The mind and body are deeply connected and those thought spirals will often simultaneously show up in our bodies physically, and if we aren’t mindful, we can take actions that further fuel those anxious thoughts. #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #christianmentalhealth #jesusandtherapy by @psychandsounds
