Relax and Release

December 9, 2019 By MKE Community Journal Leave a Comment

Thinking of how you want to feel in comparison to how you currently feel can be quite the task at times. Battling things like depression, bitterness, or any other mental illness can easily discourage any type of positive behavior. It can bring you displeasure, make you feel fatigued, and even prevent you from starting your day properly.

So many different events in life can trigger the feeling of sorrow, anger, doubt, and bitterness. Granted everyone has their own journey and issues to maintain, often times life tends to throw obstacles at you when things already seem to be out of place. However, how you react to those obstacles is detrimental to your character.

It’s imperative that our state of mind is well taken care of. Emotional intelligence is a constant fight. It’s important that emotions are well disciplined; for emotional reactions often times aren’t the best decisions.

Getting help is slowly but surely becoming a need of the norm. In 2008 a study published in the University of Cincinnati Law Review suggests that CEOs may be at twice the risk of developing depression compared to the general population. This leaves much room for mental health education and encouragement for professional health.

MentalHealth.gov suggest many reasons to take care of your mental health and wellness on their site.

They mentioned that positive mental health allows people to:

* Realize their full potential

* Cope with the stresses of life

* Work productively

* Make meaningful contributions to their communities

They included ways to maintain positive mental health which included:

* Getting professional help if you need it

* Connecting with others

* Staying positive

* Getting physically active

* Helping others

* Getting enough sleep

* Developing coping skills

Although sometimes the fear of getting help easily scares us, the benefits of obtaining the help is incomparable. There is nothing more precious than your mind. Your state of mind is everything. It’s what keeps you going. It’s what gives you reason to. It’s how you understand and perceive the world. It’s the key to your happiness.

Accepting that you have an issue is a step forward. It may in fact be the hardest step. Why? Because it’s a lot easier to smile and say nothing is wrong when you’re suffering on the inside. Plus, your friends want to be there for you. They want to help you. They want you happy.

If you find yourself being aware of your mental battles. The next step is to speak out about it, even if it’s first to a friend. Tell someone. If you don’t trust anyone with your burdens find a professional and book an appointment. Your mental health matters more than anything.

The New Frankenstein Monster

October 17, 2019 By MKE Community Journal Leave a Comment

Part one of two

Subject a “man-child” to unremitting mental and physical abuse, and chances are he will grow up to abuse those around him, including his children.

There are few who would disagree with that prospect.

Observers would also postulate that African American males raised in the Culture of Poverty, where they are defined by morals and values far outside the traditional community and societal norm, will act out their anger and confusion in socially disruptive ways.

Add to that “handicap” his being enrolled in government schools where there are low-to-no expectations for academic achievement, a larger community that fears and thereby treats him with open hostility, and a police force that seeks to contain him through harassment and intimidation.

The cherry on the top is his mental health.

What is needed to spark the brain waves of this new urban Frankenstein Monster consists of a combination of self-hatred and a daily diet of environmental despair and violence—both subliminal and overt.

And don’t forget the impact of lead in the drinking water absorbed by the child. In 10 years or so, a study is going to reveal Milwaukee’s lead problem caused developmental harm to thousands of Black children. That fact is evident to some of us now, but is hidden from public view.

The question to be answered is not where and who created this monster/thug (I’m not even dealing with the thugettes), but why so many stakeholders are surprised at the upswing of violence in the Black community, a score of senseless murders and assaults that have included several innocent bystanders, including children, shot while watching television, sitting in their parent’s car, or walking down the street.

It is almost beyond comprehension that so few are even willing to look at the creation process through the eyes of the monster or accept responsibility for our contributions to this mad science.

We—parents and parent, government, the media and corporate America—have produced an individual who is both violence’s victim and executor of anarchy; an actual product of his environment, a caricature of the Black urban thug—modeled after our worse fears.

Someone who satisfies their cultural thirst through acts of domination and sometimes terrorism. An atheist who doesn’t share our values and mores, a robot whose god is a gangsta rapper found only in X-rated videos because the monster can’t read or write, conceptualize a future, or even life beyond the ghetto walls of apartheid.

In cooperation with those who wish to maintain the status quo for personal gain, we have produced a time bomb waiting to explode, a self-fulfilling prophecy, a fulfillment of the promise of the Great Rapture.

I don’t want to get into a biblical debate, but I can quote biblical scripture that defines where we are, how we got here, and what happens next.

But I (cautiously) reject that theory and instead suggest this is karma, and we need to look no further than the “Culture of Poverty,” and the boys in the lab who wrote the formula for this reality show as a prelude to assembling the monster.

In my mind’s eye, the tsunami of violence that has sparked outrage in every corner of our society of late—deadly road rage outcomes, murder (first or second degree), domestic and child abuse—is explainable beyond the so-called bad seed or cultural pathology theory.

Instead, the “perpetrators” are the byproducts of what we germinated in a garden of weeds “awarded” us by new plantation owners.

Indeed, this is taken from a script rather than ordained.

Do you honestly think if you raised the average Black child in a loving two-parent household, provide him with the same educational opportunities as the kids in the suburbs, and feed them wholesome food, that they wouldn’t emerge as educated, spiritually attuned, contributing members of society?

The truth is, this scenario is by design.

Sure, we may be subliminally unwilling participants, but the truth is neither political party or some white knight of the realm have the wherewithal or willingness to remedy our plight.

Why?

Republicans want the poor to purchase all of their goods from the Rent-a-Centers they own.

Democrats want to satisfy their base—poverty pimps and missionaries—who are employed because of our misery.

And there are other “special interests” that seek to maintain the status quo, and I’m not talking about the prison industrial workforce.

As the country faces a new world of automation and technology, the number of jobs for those at the bottom—specifically African Americans—will soon dry up.

I mentioned in a column months ago that one of the winners of the 2019 technology awards is an inexpensive robot that can not only replace a manual labor worker but can assemble duplicates of itself.

Robotics and the shift of jobs to Asia and elsewhere, means there will be fewer jobs, and those that are created—including at Foxconn—will require skills not provided to the poor, a large percentage of whom are “trapped” in failing schools.

Rich and middle-class families want to ensure their children will have techno jobs through better educational education and options.

And the employees of government schools want to keep our children trapped to ensure their employment, and the employment of social service workers and poverty pimp organizations—most of whom are staffed by missionaries.

Do you honestly think the teachers’ union opposes choice and charter schools because they can are “less accountable” as the head of the Southeastern Wisconsin Schools Alliance said in a Journal Sentinel article Wednesday upon hearing that over 42,000 children of middle and low-income parents have abandoned government schools for private and charter schools under the school choice program?

No, it is actually quite the opposite. The teachers’ union and government school associations are concerned about their jobs and pensions. And they have “dictated” to the Democratic Party that allowing children to escape for better opportunities cannot be tolerated.

The number of union members (10.5% of the workforce) has dwindled dramatically over the last decade, but their influence is still significant.

And even though Black Americans have more clout and impact on elections nationally, the unions and Democrats recognize we have no place else to go, and thus can ignore or simply appease our concerns.

In a nutshell, we all help influence and create the monster/thugs—parents, government, special interests, and whoever is truly orchestrating the music we all dance to.

From my seat (in front of a computer, which is a few decades removed from a typewriter and production room where five of us laid this paper out by hand) I pen predictions including my fear that total social anarchy may soon overwhelm us.

Indeed, should we not feel lucky—grateful—that the monster we jointly created has not come home to devour us? Yep, thank the Creator, you have not been victimized.

Yet.

I’m fearful that the next generation will surpass the level of violence and social chaos Milwaukeeans—Black and White—are complaining about today.

More and more studies posit that our luck, as well as our time, is running out. Unless we reverse this scenario, we are destined to face our greatest social challenge ever—our children.

Social indicators suggest the next generation will be more violent, more resentful, less patient, and armed with weapons of mass destruction, which will easily penetrate the shield composed of our religious beliefs and Africentric culture.

Ironically, that shield was dense enough to protect my contemporaries, several lifetimes removed from slavery, and one generation away from our participation in the civil rights movement.

That shield gave us protection while we fought institutional racism, discrimination at every turn, mobs of bigots, and even the government. We thought we crossed the mountain and were building new homes in the Promised Land.

Only of late have most of us realized the cultural and spiritual shield should never have been put into storage.

Moreover, the new “enemy” includes culturally and spiritually void terrorists who have been greatly influenced by the Culture of Poverty, and for whom the Ten Commandments may as well be written in Greek or some Chinese dialect, like Standard English.

The new “enemy” does not possess our survival skills or our moral compass.

Remarkably, only three out of ten Black boys today have a full-time father in their lives to serve as role models to help them navigate the nuances of manhood in a hostile environment.

Seventy percentages of Black households are headed by a single woman, most without a good education or family-supporting income. They are poor, and many define themselves in a negative light—they even refer to themselves as niggers (n-word) and bitches (b-word).

If that’s what they see in the mirror, is it hard to figure out how they view their offspring?

Even if they viewed themselves as queens, they cannot take their male children through the rites of passage, show them how to channel their youthful energies to benefit their God, family, and community.

A significant percentage learn the hard way that motherhood for a poor and uneducated woman is to be in survival mode 365.

Substandard housing, inferior foods, and not enough financial resources to keep up with bills add to her burden. Ironically, and despite the symbolism of a Barack Obama presidency, poverty went up during his administration.

Food stamp usage skyrocketed, and if you read your texts or newspapers, everybody and their mama’s sister are sponsoring clothing (coats) and food drives.

I don’t want to delve into the poor choices of many poor Black mothers, but suffice it to say most are in their predicament because of decisions they made as much as the environment and grip of American apartheid. Blame it on gangsta rap music, peer pressure, or the environment, but the ramifications in many cases are seen on the evening news.

The byproduct of this reality show drama is the cultural paradigm in which a significant number of Black males are being proselytized into a martial society. They have not only accepted violence as a community norm, but also anti-social behavior and terrorism as opportunities for personal growth.

And the most significant irony is that we (family members and distant cousins) now act surprised at the social chaos that confronts us.

The pendulum has swung the other way.

We have a president who speaks of the good ole days and supports White Supremacy, a police department that strikes fear into people of color, an educational system that fails far too many children, and a dysfunctional family structure.

And let’s not forget those who stand on the sideline, the radio revolutionaries, the cynics, the apathetic Black politicians, and those who do not practice what they preach.

We each took parts to the lab for use in creating this monster. Now the question is, can we collectively disassemble him? No, scratch that. Do we have the will to?

Hotep.

A Brighter Day

September 30, 2019 By MKE Community Journal Leave a Comment

How often is it that we get caught up in our feelings and ponder on how we FEEL? For some this is very rarely, but for others this happens quite a bit. A while back I had a conversation with a friend that was having a day. She was stressing to me that she felt like she was in a funk and just didn’t know how to get out.

I empathized with her and explained that it is completely normal and absolutely fine that she wasn’t having the best day. We all have our days. The problem comes in when this becomes a routine. It’s not healthy to dwell on the many things we cannot control in life. While controlling people’s thoughts about you and the many situations that continue to arise sounds somewhat cool, it’s factually impossible to do.

What is possible is you taking control of those thoughts that you tell yourself. Imagine telling yourself that you are ugly for thirty days straight. Whether you are ugly or pretty, after thirty days of negative self-talk, you’re going to believe it. Slowly but surely you will begin to point out each and every flaw you have. Vice versa if you tell yourself you are gorgeous {handsome} for thirty days straight, you will begin to believe it as well. You’ll begin to look in the mirror with pride and confidence.

Granted battling mentally with yourself is a tough battle to fight, it’s so necessary to fight through tough days with the right weapons. Now of course when I say weapons I’m not referring to guns and knives. No, I’m referring to outlets that help you become your best self when times are tough.

When it comes to your mental health, expression and consumption is everything. Knowing how to express yourself and finding new ways to express yourself are key factors. Whether you choose to write, sing, dance, build, or create, you still have to be conscious of what you read, hear, entertain, and watch.

The dichotomy between expression and consumption still work together as one. What you allow yourself to consume usually is directly correlated to how you essentially feel. That means if you consume a bunch of negative information, whether entertaining a negative conversation or watching a sad movie, your mood is more likely to be down. You will begin to subconsciously feel sad. Whereas if you consistently consume yourself with positive material like motivational podcasts or informational books about things you’re passionate about, you’re more likely to feel motivated.

I remember a time where I felt depressed. I was upset with how many things were going wrong in my life. I cried day in and day out because I thought since I was moving a particular way; I shouldn’t have to experience such devastating hiccups. I felt terrible about my financial situation. I felt terrible about my household. I felt terrible about my friendships and my love life. It seemed like life would have been better as a blur. But instead of dwelling in my thoughts, I began to feed my mind about the things I felt was going wrong.

I picked up some financial literacy books, I studied many success journeys, I YouTube’d about heartbreaks, and researched balance. I began to try new outlets of peace. I meditated and even found a church home. I began to apply what I learned into my life and even wrote a book about it. Now I am beyond grateful for the air I breathe and I understand the importance of the process, knowing everyone has to go through it.

Personal growth is never easy but it’s well worth it if you dare to face your issues head-on.   Growth is uncomfortable. Growth isn’t always pretty. I believe one of the most important elements of growth is simply knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel. After all, have you ever seen how bright the sun shines after a storm?

Police Officers Swarm Johnson’s Park

May 20, 2019 By MKE Community Journal Leave a Comment

Domestic violence is something that has become far too common in today’s relationships. I have seen this happen to friends or all ages, as well as family members. The majority of reported victims are females and in my experience, it has always gone on longer then first reported. Mental health continues to be at the forefront, as these conversations are rooted in the brokenness of people. Although it less reported, women are sometimes the aggressor as a result of the hurt in past experiences. I dated womanthat said in quote “I am about that domestic violence life,” and in more than one situation create a scenario in her head where I was cheating, and as a result attack me with weapons most of the time. The hurt is real and so are the victims, we can not celebrate the survivors of these situations enough.

On Saturday May 18ththe district 3 police department hosted survivors of domestic violence cookout in Johnson’s park. Captain Norman (pictured with Officer Jones) has been a strong advocate in the community since taking the role as captain of the district 3 in 2018. There were officers playing games like bean bag toss, while interacting with residents and survivors alike. With all the attention on police involved killings and speed chases, the timing is crucial for community relationships to be mended.

“I never expected to be in front of these many officers without being arrested,” this was said by one man while he enjoyed a barbeques hotdog.

 

It was smiles all around as guest enjoyed free food and resources from various organizations. I look forward to covering and helping to plan their next event.

The Battle Within

November 5, 2018 By MKE Community Journal Leave a Comment

The greatest gift we are blessed with every day that we wake up is the gift of choice. We have the ability to choose to have a great day and the ability to have a bad one. We have the choice to eat healthy and the choice to contain fatty or unhealthy foods. When we get into relationships, we choose the person we commit to. Even the people we hang around are there by choice.

But just because we have that choice, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to choose. As humans, we make mistakes all the time. There are times where we make bad decisions. The issue comes when we neglect the fact that we have a choice. The moment we unconsciously decide that we are going to give up our power, we then choose to be miserable.

Misery happens by default. It happens when you do not have drive. It happens when you give up on wanting more for yourself.    Settling is one of the biggest forms of misery because you dedicate yourself to something, knowing that it doesn’t meet the standard that you mentally created. Therefore, you agree to things without satisfaction. As a result, typically, you become angry more easily. You become tired more often. It feels as if you lack energy on the daily. You begin to do things with vague intentions and you neglect self-love, ultimately creating a multitude of issues in many areas of your life.

Not only is misery a lifestyle, it’s a form of thinking. You work jobs for money instead of working to gain skills in a field that interest you. You spend more money on yourself than time. When you’re miserable you barely set goals. You’re okay with being content, rather than being happy. It’s “normal” to trade how you feel for how others will feel. Giving up always seems like the better route when it comes to challenges and self-control is non-existent.

Often times when you’re miserable instead of keeping people around you that build you up, you choose to spend time with those that make you feel good. You stay in toxic relationships only to avoid loneliness. Even if you argue and fight with your mate every day, you stay around. You spend time with people only to fill a void or to support a habit. The people around you don’t have much of a purpose. They laugh at your dreams and tell you what they don’t believe you can accomplish. They allow you to make bad decisions because it doesn’t affect them.

When you have a miserable mindset, you make many decisions solely based off emotions. If you don’t want to do something, you won’t. It’s always about how you feel. Because of that, you often start things without finishing them. You continuously say that you want things that you aren’t willing to work for. You create excuses all the time. Blaming everyone else for everything that happens in your life seems like the best thing to do. There is no accountability. Until you realize that you are tired of being miserable, you will continue to be.

In other words, misery drives happiness. Once you get to the point of not wanting to live life the way you’re used to, you change. It is about making the choice to change your mindset. Instead of allowing life to push you around, you learn to take control. You plan your days and write out your goals. You spend time with yourself to get to know you better. When you wake up you have a routine that you abide by daily.

The conscious mind is the only way to create happiness. It’s not just an emotion. It’s not just a mood. Creating happiness has a lot to do with knowing who you are. If you don’t know what makes you happy, you can’t create happiness. You won’t know unless you take the time out to get to know you.

Happy people don’t work just for the money. When you’re happy, you work in a field that interest you and work diligently to gain new skills. What you want out of life matters more than your current situation.  Therefore, often times you sacrifice the things you love for a better cause. But in order to do this you have to have a great deal of self-discipline.

Happiness can be very challenging but, no matter what, you have to push yourself. Unlike misery, you don’t make decisions based off how you feel. You make decisions based off what needs to happen. You don’t put yourself down, accepting any and everything. You set standards. You understand that not everyone is worth your time nor does everyone deserve it.

When you’re happy you surround yourself with good people. You make sure that you have a circle full of people that genuinely love you. You ensure that the people you spend your time with truly respect you and encourage you to be great. You value your time because you know that you only live once.

Choosing to be miserable or choosing to be happy is up to you. You have to make the decision whether you are satisfied with where you are now or whether you want change. Both lifestyles form the direction of your future. Misery is hard but it’s also convenient. Happiness is challenging but a lot less stressful. Through either lifestyle, you learn. Sometimes it’s through experience. Other times through wisdom and research. An optimistic mindset will go a lot further than a pessimist does.

Study: Physician burnout, depression can lead to major medical errors

July 10, 2018 By MKE Community Journal Leave a Comment

Article courtesy of ABC News via “The Rundown”
Does your doctor’s mental health and well-being affect the care you receive? A new study says yes — burnout, fatigue and depression may affect major medical errors.

Medical errors contribute to an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 deaths per year, according to the Institute of Medicine. Burnout — defined as emotional exhaustion or depersonalization — occurs in more than half of doctors, according to the study.

Researchers surveyed physicians across the country to understand the relationship between burnout and major medical errors in their careers.

Their findings, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, suggest burnout, by itself, plays a large role in errors. Other independent factors affecting errors include the perceived safety of the workplace, physician fatigue and physician mental health.

Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine anonymously surveyed more than 6,600 physicians in active practice. They were asked to fill out standardized questionnaires looking at their levels of burnout, well-being, fatigue and symptoms of depression. In addition, the doctors were asked to grade the safety of their workplace and comment on any major medical errors they may have made.

Designer Kate Spade’s death renews conversation about mental health awareness

June 6, 2018 By MKE Community Journal Leave a Comment

(Los Angeles Times)
The death of Kate Spade has renewed discussions of mental health awareness, with celebrities mourning the fashion designer’s death with missives about depression and suicide prevention.

Spade, whose colorful handbags, bold prints and cheerful sayings once dominated American fashion, was found dead on Tuesday in her New York apartment in an apparent suicide, according to the Associated Press.

The late designer was no longer involved with the Kate Spade label, but the brand, which is now owned by Coach’s parent company Tapestry, confirmed her death on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, saying that the “visionary founder of our brand has passed” and honored “all the beauty she brought into this world.”

Though no official reports said that Spade suffered from mental illness, Twitter users quickly jumped in the fray to says that depression “does not discriminate” and is a “life-threatening illness, just like heart disease, cancer, or sepsis.”

“There should be no stigma about mental health-only treatment, awareness, and compassion,” tweetedsurgeon and columnist Eugene Gu.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and on average just under 45,000 Americans die by suicide.
