“Have a Mind that is Open to Everything and Attached to Nothing”
Dr. Wayne Dyer

As on reflect on this quote, I thing about the global perspective on mental illness: Western civilization v. Eastern civilization; Tribal v. Modern world; Cultural Biases v. Diversity and Inclusion. I went to one of my favorite places to buy healthy foods, Diaita Cold Pressed Juice, and was enlightened in other perspectives regarding mental illness v. Spiritual crisis/emergency. I was encouraged to watch @crazywisefilm. Join me. Let me know what you think. https://crazywisefilm.com/

For those that follow the NBA, Delonte West May be a name remembered. Many recall he was allegedly involved with LeBron James’ mom, Gloria. In addition to that, others may recall he was the #24 pick in round 1 of the 2004 draft. Others may recall that he played for the Celtics, Cavs, and Mavericks before ending his career with the D-League in 2015. As a professional NBA player, West was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, but always maintained he was misdiagnosed. Now the 36-year-old is back in the news with allegations of having untreated mental illness in addition to being homeless and destitute. His cousin has spoken out asking the public not to crucify West. I commend West’s cousin for speaking out... trying to change the narrative.
It is hard to watch a loved one live with untreated severe mental illness. What are family and friends who provide care for a loved one living with severe mental illness to do? How can they help? Can they help?

Misty Copeland is an example of transformation and resiliency. *

Despite the economic and social hardships, Copeland said that she was able to find solace and her voice through the world of dance. At the age of 13, the ballet lessons that she began taking at at the local Boys and Girls Club would eventually allow her to move in with her teacher’s family and eventually prepare her to make history. *

Living with people who are not family may be considered a drastic and questionable decision. *

However, if your current circumstances are not conducive to the life you want to live, how drastic is the change you are willing to make? *

What changes do you need in your life to transform into what you are meant to be? *

Is the impact on your physical and mental health a factor in your transformational decision making?

Have you ever wanted something really bad after talking yourself into it in the first place? I tend to make healthy eating decisions. However, in this case, it’s a long holiday weekend. Attempted #selfcare.😂 I enjoyed a #roadtrip with my sons to see one of my closest friend’s son play in his first college football game. So, I take a break from the norm. I convinced myself to join in the big craze and try @popeyeslouisianakitchen chicken sandwich. Surprisingly, the line was not nearly like what I saw on the news. Oooohhhhh the disappointment! @professordofficial @ukfootball #roadtrip #motherandsons #shenanigans #mentalhealthadvocate #breakfromthenorm #nolines

Football is not something that I follow regularly; however, I find myself making parallels to players and/or the sport itself- like, Andre Luck’s recent decision to retire at the tender age of 29. I have not followed his career, but I read that he could be considered one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL. His stats are impressive after 7 years in the League. Yet, Luck has made, what I would guess, is one of the most difficult decisions in career if not his life.
At the same time, is the decision really difficult if your mental health is impacted to the point that you described yourself as “a sad, miserable human.” In my opinion, a change may need to come.
Mental health, in addition to his overall physical health after a multitude of injuries, may have been at the forefront of the decision made by the 2012 No. 1 draft pick from Stanford. For many, the announcement was a huge surprise. Yet, for Luck, to move forward in his life the way that he wanted to, football is a non-factor.

Have you ever had to make a difficult career altering decision?
Here are some things to consider as you evaluate how to make a major career altering decision:

1. How will your mental health be impacted?

2. Are you going to wait until you mental and/or physical health substantially declines before you finalize your decision?

3. How can you mitigate any damages if you need to make an impromptu career altering decision? (AP Photo/Michael Wyke)
