I will be dedicating my post and radio shows this month to men's health as we get ready to celebrate the wonderful men in our lives! Men's emotional health challenges has become a silent crisis as so many men feel rejected from main stream society which leads to strong feelings of alienation and isolation. Men are suffering in silence because of societal stereotypes of what masculinity is or is not. They are then less likely to reach out and ask for help, especially minority men.
Society has programmed us to believe that men are not emotional creatures and their feelings don't matter. But God created human beings in His image both male and female equipped with emotions. "So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Gen1:27 NLT
Emotions are not male or female but were created by God as part of our humanness....as part of being a human being!! Emotions are energy in motion. They are not meant to be silenced, stifled, ignored, suppressed or boxed up. They are meant to be acknowledge, nurtured and given the opportunity and space to flow in perfect harmony. Simply put we are spiritual beings having a human experience!
So, tune in this Monday at 4:30 am on www,881thetruth.com as we will be discussing, with Latoya Nelson a licensed Psychotherapist, what men can do to have a healthy emotional heart and create emotional balance. Optimal Health is our Birthright!! And yes that includes Mental Health!!!
