Self Love


Self-love is important when it comes to our mental and physical health. It is an act of appreciating who you are and loving all aspects of who you are becoming. When we show ourselves self-love, we learn to embrace our weaknesses instead of being ashamed of them. It helps us learn to focus on our well-being and purpose in life, and not what others think of us. When we practice self-love, we benefit by gaining a sense of confidence. When you carry out self-love, confidence in yourself, inside and out, will grow stronger and stronger. Center for Emotional Health wants to help you learn how to practice self-love daily!


 





Here are a few ways that you can practice self-love:


1. Stop comparing yourself to others
Comparing yourself to someone else is only going to bring you down because everyone is unique and takes life at their own pace. No one is made the same and we are all different whether that be our looks, wealth, spiritual, or mental journey. To show yourself love, try to focus on yourself and what you need to improve on in your own journey. 

2. Find your happy place
When you start to feel overwhelmed, stressed, or sad, find something or somewhere that makes you feel safe and happy. Something you can go to when times are rough so you can escape to gather your thoughts and feelings.

3. Focus on your physical health
This form of self-love can look different for everyone. Physical health could mean simply going for a walk, run, or even to the gym. Another way to think about your physical health is simply fueling your body with food and water.  

4. Forgive yourself when you make mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes, there’s no doubt about that. It’s important to allow yourself to make, embrace, and grow from your mistakes, as this is the healthy way to move on and refrain from any regrets. Mistakes are expected as it’s all a part of being human.

Each year on November 11, we honor the service and sacrifice of those who have served in our armed forces. Now called Veterans Day in the United States, the day was originally called Armistice Day and marked the official end of the hostilities of World War I. Armistice Day is still recognized across the world in countries that remember the anniversary of the end of World War I. Many of those who have served in our armed forces have been affected by their service – some in obvious ways, and others in ways that are not readily apparent. The unique and challenging lives led by our military service members can lead to a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and traumatic brain injury. Some veterans may be suffering from one or more of these conditions at the same time. Here are some ways that you can support veterans in your life who may be dealing with these challenges.

  NeuroStar TMS Therapy  NeuroStar therapy uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to address key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with several mental health ailments, but more specifically for those with depression. The exact cause of depression remains unknown but is believed to be caused by an imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells.  What is NeuroStar Therapy (TMS)?  The magnet has similar strength levels to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. It is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain that is responsible for controlling mood and behavior. The magnetic pulses can potentially provide a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, creating the possibility of long-term remission for depression.  What You Can Expect During a NeuroStar Therapy Treatment NeuroStar therapy is a non-invasive treatment and non-drug treatment. The patient experiences little

While this did require some adjusting, many people are surprised by how happy they are with virtual therapy or Telepsych. Virtual services allow you to create a safe and comfortable space that’s on your own terms. Having these services virtually, means you get to decide where you are and how you customize your environment. At CEH, online services work very much like an in-person session, except you are not in the same room as the provider.  For patients who cannot go to our facilities in Charlotte-Metro, Winston-Salem, Chapel Hill, Asheville, or surrounding areas you can receive assistance anywhere that’s convenient for you.  Center for Emotional Health offers therapy and medication management services for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more.  We offer both therapy and medication management appointments via telepsych.
