Mental Health Humor and Cartoons

Mental Health Humor :  Ask Dr. Bob Bob, Vacations Of The Mind –

What a week - end!  I hope everyone had a good one!  This time of the year many around here (Florida) are taking some time off to go to the beach or make plans for some good quality time as the kids go back to school.  Well, unless you’re like us and home school.  Still, with the hot days here, I myself can think of no better time to hit the beach.

Now, this is not what I was talking about when I said “Vacation Of The Mind”.  No, what I’m thinking about during these long days of summer is for us to be able to say you know what… I’m going to take a day off from my own insanity!  A day where we don’t have to be reminded that we are sick or plagued by mental illnesses.  Yes, truly a day for us…

For some of us, we might not be able to go to the beach. That is why it is important to develop visualization techniques . What is this? Visualization is the art of creating a mental picture.  It can be from a real photo, you just look at it and picture it in your “minds eye”.  Yet, it is much more.  It is a technique used to build self-awareness and positive thinking.  You envision yourself doing something say winning a race or getting the job… But, here is the trick, you visualize it in the first person as if you’re looking out your own eyes, and not watching as a by-stander.  It takes some practice but it is a great tool to help focus and give ourselves a “Vacation Of The Mind”.
