Description:
Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how you can show empathy to others.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to introduce you to a friend of mine, Vikie Shanks, who learned how to empathize the hard way—by going through challenging situations. She shares with us how the difficult times she’s been through have helped her to connect with others.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Vikie Shanks shares with me some of the personal and difficult experiences that she has been through in life. However, instead of getting stuck in these situations she has used them to help her learn to connect and empathize with others who are going through similar experiences. But it doesn’t stop there. We also discuss how we can show empathy to people even if we haven’t been through the same situation as them.
In this video, Vikie and I talk about the importance of sharing our own personal stories with others and the need for more people to be open and honest. When it comes to transforming the stigma around mental health, part of the problem is that too many people aren’t willing to talk about it. The more we are able to share, the more we are able to help people on both sides of the situation.
We share a few tips that you can use on how to talk to others to help them open up and be honest about their situations.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to connect with and show empathy for others in 2019.

AND I’M ISSUING YOU A ***CHALLENGE***, FRIEND!
1) Film yourself sharing your own raw, unedited story to help spread the message about the importance of being open and honest (on Instagram Stories or YouTube or any other platform you prefer).
2) Send it to me or tag me on social media @mikeveny:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikeveny. . .

Remember, transforming the stigma around mental health starts with getting it into the conversation. Don’t be afraid to share the unsugar-coated version of your story to help encourage others to do the same. The more people are able to see the reality that no one is living a “picture perfect life,” the more we can learn to empathize with others.

How to Protect Yourself While Supporting Others – ACTIONABLE
Are you wondering how to protect yourself while supporting others?
It can be easy when trying to help others to end up hurting yourself along the way. You may give your time and resources that you really don’t have to spare. And you may find that you’re being impacted by negative energy from the situation.
Learning how to be mindful of your own emotions and energy by setting personal boundaries is important when supporting others when they struggle. One way to do this is by learning how to say no to people and most importantly, how to say no without feeling guilty.
In this video, I explain how to stop being affected by others by setting healthy boundaries.
This can feel overwhelming at first, especially if you’re worried about hurting the relationship, but it’s OK to say no to people to protect yourself emotionally and to protect your own mental health and wellness. In the long run, this will help you learn how to support others in a healthier way.

The Connection Between Physical Health and Mental Health

http://www.TransformingStigma.com In this video, mental health speaker, Mike Veny, shares the story of how he met his personal trainer and nutritionist, Maik Wiedenbach. Maik has worked with him to develop a healthier lifestyle. Mike now has an exercise program and nutrition program that are both customized to the needs of his mental illness.
As a person living with mental illness, Mike Veny knows about the connection between mental health and physical health. In order to keep himself stable, Mike has routines, systems, checklists, and appointments that have forced him to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
To help with his depression, Mike takes coconut oil and fish oil in the morning. In addition, he makes it a point to exercise and get sunlight for at least a half an hour each day. As a mental health speaker, Mike is constantly on the road speaking at conferences and events around the world. Therefore, it’s imperative that he takes care of himself.
Mike Veny truly believes that connection between mental health and physical health is clear. However, focusing on your physical health alone isn’t part of a complete recovery. It’s important to constantly seek out professional help, too.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The WHO states that “there is no health without mental health.”
The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Ontario branch is leading in this area with two programs that target the connection between mental health and physical health.
Minding Our Bodies – a program aimed at promoting consistent exercise, sound nutrition, and health lifestyle decisions.
Diabetes and Mental Health Peer Support – program that supports people who have Diabetes and serious mental illness.
