Monday at 2pm pst is Mental Health Topic day for my live stream at https://www.twitch.tv/mrfunkedude where I try to create discussions around mental health.

The topics will be... "Forgiveness for others and ourselves.", "Is your inner voice your friend?", and "What are your favorite simple things that bring you joy throughout each day?"

If you have any thoughts, or stories about either of these subjects, please either reply here or in DM if you want to keep anonymity, and I'll read them for my show.

When challenging someone's perspective stop and ask yourself these questions...

1) What do I understand about the others perspective?
2) What do I understand about my own perspective?
3) Could I be wrong?
4) What do I want the other to understand about my perspective?
5) What do I want the other to understand about their own perspective?

If you find yourself skipping the first three, you're not really trying to have a discussion and may want to check your ego.
