I was in a dark place for a long time.

Reach out today at 303.960.9819 https://fherehab.com/  You might be thinking why do bad things and events always happen to me? Why do I always find myself in the same situations? One problem might be repeated behaviors. Doing the same things often lead to the same results. Maybe its time to shake things up a bit and do things differently? Seek out that mentor or people that can help you elevate to a better level. Remember as hard as it might be you are exactly where you need to be right now - even though it sucks. I believe that nothing "just happens to me". Everything that happens is for a purpose and I am right where I need to be in this moment in time. When I was at my lowest, I knew that things would get better. I knew there was help for me and I knew I was in my place for a reason.  Stay strong and stay steadfast. You are at the place you are for a reason. The reason is yours to discover.  Stay tuned for more great guests on the CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com Patrick

You might be able to fool people around you but that internal voice inside of you encourages you to be honest with yourself. I know its hard. We don't want to admit our faults or weaknesses but when you are completely honest with yourself it's like a weight gets lifted off your chest.  As humans we want to please others. We want recognition and praise. There is nothing wrong with that but if you are struggling with personal and professional challenges you need to conduct an internal search warrant on yourself and above all be honest with where you are in your life. The bottom line is we can all be better and improve. But it starts with taking a long and often hard look at ourselves. You can do it. I believe in you and the journey you are about to take. Chin up - You got this! I hope you have a great and productive day. Please be safe. Stay tuned for more great episodes on the Top Ranked CJEvolution Podcast. www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

You know you have to take a step forward but you are fearful. You are afraid of making the wrong decision. You are afraid of what people will think.  Life is taking chances. You sometimes fail, and you sometimes win with your decision but you need to take a step forward and make it. Often the thing we know we need to do is the exact step we need to take.  No one can do it for you. You have to do it yourself. When you were learning how to walk people were there to coach, hold and encourage you to take your first step. It's the same now with your decision. You have to do it. You can do it.

I then want to write down what you are doing to mitigate those fears and worries. It might seem like a simple task, but I really want you to put some thought into this. Remember the majority of crap we worry and fear 1) Never comes to pass and 2) Is not as bad as we envisioned it in our minds.  I am not trying to downplay your worries and fears. Those are legitimate. Bad things happen. We all know this. I am just trying to convey that what you give energy to grows. If you learn to let go and lets things happen then you won't have that burden in your mind. This is very difficult and I still work on this everyday, but you can hold both spaces. Just focus your energy into a more positive direction and outcome.  You can do it. But like anything it requires work.  Thank you for what you are doing in the world and being you.

Her professional expertise and personal background groomed her for working with and relating to first responders and understanding their unique treatment needs. She specializes in trauma work, relationship therapy, and drug and process addictions recovery. Growing up in a military family with a father in the Navy and a brother in the U.S. Marines, Dr. Ananda saw firsthand the impact that PTSD can have on the health and wellbeing of members of the military and first responders. She is trained in EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Motivational Interviewing, relapse prevention, sex therapy, and family interventions— among other innovative therapeutic strategies that have proven effective for first responders. Dr. Ananda is originally from Vietnam. Her family came to the U.S. as refugees when she was a young child. They settled in the Pacific Northwest, which is where Dr. Ananda lived and worked for many years before eventually calling Florida “home.”  A great show with an amazing member of the FHE Health Family.

Like most of us who face challenges, Kurt was devastated. Kurt went through dark times, but eventually came out after receiving treatment for his challenges. The key to this is that Kurt came forward. Something most of us are unwilling to do. Kurt is still trying to figure it out but he knows he is not alone and his recovery is paramount in his life.  Kurt is a big advocate of first responder health and wellness and alternate forms of therapy.

Jason is an active-duty police sergeant with over 23 years of experience in a variety of assignments including custody, patrol, investigations and training. Prior to returning to patrol he was assigned as the In-Service Training Supervisor for his agency's regional training center and he is a sitting member of his agency's use of force review board. Feeling  the need to continue to arm law enforcement professionals with the best training possible, Jason created The Briefing Room. "If your agency is only meeting State minimum training standards, that’s a recipe for mediocrity. Join The Briefing Room and provide your supervisors with everything they need to develop exemplary officers who feel passion for their profession again. Your officers will know what society expects of them and how they can best represent your agency and serve your community."

Always take the higher road. Have you ever been slighted? Have you ever want to seek revenge on someone? This can and often causes strife and anger in you. This can fill your heart with hate. This can consume you. I have been there. I have said things or sent messages to people that I often regret. Although, I can't undo the past I can learn from my mistakes and take the higher road in the future. When I do this, I am at peace because I am no longer consumed with seeking revenge. I encourage you to do so too. The anger, revenge and toxic attitude only hurts one person - YOU. Take the higher road. I am not saying not to defend yourself in some situations, but I am advising you to take a pause before you take action and think - Is my response going to make me feel better and bring me peace?

Yet, so many aren't happy. How can you improve your Mental Outlook and Wellbeing?  Here are five tips: 1) Connect with people - When I say this I mean the RIGHT people. People who are positive and lift you up, not down. 2) Get physically active - No, you don't have to be in the gym for hours. Start with something easy - Like a brisk walk and build from there. 3) Learn new skills - Life is about continuing to grow and learn. 4) Giving to others - It can be as simple as your time. It can be as simple as giving your smile and positive attitude to others. 5) Pay attention to the present moment - This is essentially the core behind meditation. You will never get this moment back so live in it.   Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com   Patrick
