[  ]   Step 4 Organize your resources

Make it easy to learn more about your particular disorder and educate yourself on emotional wellness.

A great place to start and stay organized is to use Pinterest and the resources Morrison Clinic has gathered on our Pinterest page.   Follow our Pinterest page so that you stay up to date on new additions and can easily find our resources.

*Click on this link: Morrison Clinic Pinterest Page.

*Create an account if you do not have one already.  It is free and easy.

*Click the red follow button.

*Create a board titled Emotional Health and Wellness.  Make the board private if you do not want your followers to see it.

*Add this pin to your board

This link will take you to a page on our website with several helpful resources including articles, books, and online resources.

*Over the next few days and weeks browse the resources Amy has accumulated and create your own boards so that you can stay organized and easily have the tools you need when you need them!

[  ]  Step 5 cultivate a coping skill that will not only help you in times of stress, but will also be the first step towards developing healthier thoughts.

Download a voice guided meditation app and start to cultivate the skill of mindfulness meditation.  My favorite is  Meditation Studio    This app offers short meditations that use techniques like deep breathing, visualization, and flexible thinking to help you curb your negative thought patterns. I recommend meditating for at least 10-15 minutes a day. If you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, I recommend you do it at bedtime. In order to make it part of your daily routine, set a nightly alarm 10 min before you go to bed. Title the alarm, MEDITATION.

[  ]  Step 6 Invest your time and money into becoming emotionally healthy.

Schedule therapy as recommended by Amy.  She typically prefers for you to have therapy scheduled no later than your 3rd appointment at Morrison Clinic.

[  ]  Step 7 Make sure Amy has your latest physical exam and bloodwork AND learn about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

*Go to the lifestyle changes page and general health header for the information on the recommended annual physical exams and blood work that you need to have each year.  Please send a copy of your physical exam and blood work to your clinician through the patient portal. 

*Take time to read this page and follow the links or even better add to your Pinterest board so that it is easy to reference and  stay organized.
