Move your body to improve #mentalhealth.

Many of us who live in urban cultures are working jobs where we sit at computers most of the day. Many work environments say they support #selfcare & #wellness, but offer incentives to just keep working. I know some people who don’t ever leave their office building until they leave for the day. Then we go home and sit in front of more screens.

Moving our bodies is not just good for physical health, but also for mental health. I encourage people to find inspiring and novel ways to get #exercise, if they don’t like going to the gym - walking the dog, dancing, playing a sport or game with friends, playing with you kids, join a hiking club, etc.

Getting out of your head and into your body gives your mind a break. Many westerners put too much emphasis one the mind, and less on the body or “heart.” Exercising can help with all sorts of mental and emotional challenges. High aerobic exercise can help with depression, anger, anxiety. Slower moving exercise like #yoga or swimming can help with #stress or #grief.

Men cry. Period. Not “real men”, not “some men”, not “sissies”. Maybe not ALL men. BUT men cry.
As a cisgender man myself, and as a therapist who works with all kinds of male identified people, I know this to be true.
I’ve been inspired this week by a video of @jameelajamilofficial, actress on “The Good Place.” She has been speaking out about #toxicmasculinity. She talked about the work women can do to combat it.
I’ve also been inspired by a recent episode on the podcast “Say More About That” with Jeff Guenther, LPC of @therapy.den. He shared personal stories of his own experiences as a straight, cis man with #toxicmasculinity in his family and community growing up.
Telling boys not to cry, to “man up” is damaging. It squashes their spirit, decreases creative expression and emotional intelligence, increases psychological distress (anger, anxiety, depression, etc.).It is harmful to them, their loved ones, and their future relationships.
Men cry.

This week is #menshealthweek and I’m collaborating with @dr.joshcorn, @dr.bryant and many other #integrativehealth practitioners.
To kick the week off I want to get personal. A year ago this month I was just finishing up 9 weeks of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with #testicularcancer. The whole experience was probably one of the most challenging in my life (except the surgery, which was the easiest part). #Cancer & #chemotherapy are NO JOKE. I was very lucky to have caught it early and that it didn’t spread, but the whole process is difficult on many levels. (To hear my whole story, go to my podcast TheQueerSpirit.com, season 2, ep. 1 - link in bio.)
I urge everyone, no matter your gender identity, to be aware of changes in your body, no matter how small, and get a check up.
Wishing you all good #health.
