Go over and follow @valleyvicious who has given the best effort to a charity day I have seen in the last three years. Prior to catching up with Lee, I had know idea what Rett Syndrome was. ...

21.01.2022 I wake up in pain every day... and no, I’m not about to complain about it. This is what happens when you ignore your body’s alarm system for so long and when you push yourself to burn out point. Burn out from living in a state of fight or flight and ignoring my feelings by just doing more work, more drinking... more ignoring and avoiding. Literally doing everything to avoid the feelings and the warning signs. ...Continue reading

20.01.2022 Thank you A huge thank you to everyone who supported the second PSV cup. From the volunteers, sponsors, players and the fans. You amaze me... yesterday will a huge impact and one that we won’t be fully aware of. ... That’s what it is about though- it’s much bigger than me or PSV. It’s about us, the community and all of those who struggle to speak up. There will be conversations had which wouldn’t of been had. That’s what the day is about but I just acknowledge that we will surpass $9,500 at this early count raised for MindfullAus. The final total will be live for everyone to see as updated at https://mindfullausfundraiser.raisely.com/shane-kelton In the trying times of the last year, the generosity has been incredible. For now, I’m taking a break to focus on myself, my job, my studies and my amazing fiancé who is carrying our baby boy. As I reflect on this day, I’m extremely proud and tears will come and go which is ok. If you need help, please find the appropriate channels to reach out and don’t give up.

19.01.2022 My favourite podcast yet... I’ve always wanted to a mother about post natal depression as it’s not often talked about and mums are inspirational. June is an inspiration to many... ... Thanks for sharing your battles of anxiety and post natal depression Also how you’ve managed COVID and started a community based idea/business to help others through this time. Check out the podcast and community collabz

18.01.2022 My anxiety controlled my life until I realised what a gift it was and how I could deal with it moving forward using meditation. This is a clip from KDAY 102 where Mark realises the beauty of his lifetime long anxiety. Check out the full conversation: https://youtu.be/ggMFVOanLB0

17.01.2022 In line with the news today about a 5 day lockdown in Melbourne I wanted to provide an update. At this stage the game will still go ahead on February 21st with no changes. Further announcements will be made Wednesday/Thursday if there is any changes or restrictions. ... It’s been clear this lock down is effecting people’s mental health so I’d love if you could all invite people to the Facebook event & show this community huge support which is what the game is about

17.01.2022 To all my friends and family and supporters. Thanks to everyone who supported the PSV cup. I put so much in to the day and the last three days prior to the event were nearly sleepless. Added to that was multiple people having a go at me for being a fake which is interesting when all I’ve done is this for free haha... don’t worry I don’t take it personally. I know I did my best. At 4pm on the Sunday, I felt like crying in a ball on the ground. ... Honestly- I’m burnt out!!! This week has been horrible and I’ve been extremely sick all week. When I haven’t been working, I’ve been sleeping and I’ve barely eaten. I’m not writing this for sympathy or anything... I’m writing this for anyone who is doing too much, ask for help and make sure you look after yourself. I really was looking after myself and it’s still been a brutal week. I know I’ve done my best... because that’s all we ever do. Depression and anxiety are now just emotions for me and I’m thankful I’m not battling anything more Thank you for all the support- it’s time for me to have a break from the socials and from PSV. Volunteering for many years and it’s time to take a step back... not only have I given a lot of time, I’ve given a lot Financially. It’s time to focus on my career so I can help support for my future baby boy and wife to be. (24 months with no real income I think is long enough) Thank you to all... be back soon and likely to come back in a much more private setting Feel free to check out MyndFit where I’ll be building my career in what is now a traineeship role and soon to be a mental health therapist.

17.01.2022 In a conversation with a few males in the last week it’s been a reoccurring theme. But I wasn’t like this 6 months ago This is what can happen when we don’t take a proactive approach to our own mental health. Poor mental health can lead to mental health issues and then mental illness . ... We all have mental health, just like physical and nutritional health. How many hours do you put in to your own mental health? And I’m not talking gym, running or hanging with friends. I’m talking about working on your mind... there’s a difference. We all have mental health, so let’s talk about it

14.01.2022 On Tuesday I recorded my first ever Podcast with the man Shane Kelton from Power, Strength & Vulnerability Nearly 2 months ago during ‘mental heath care wee...k’ on my page I shared for the first time my own experience with post natal depression and anxiety over 6 years ago after the birth of my first daughter(the video is in a playlist on here if you’re interested to watch it ). I felt like a hypocrite encouraging people to be open, start the discussion during lockdown and allowing the guest speakers about to be on my page be brave about telling their story, when I hadn’t done the same thing myself. It took me this long to finally feel strong enough to be completely open and honest about it. There are others who didn’t take as long to speak out, who have had to deal with mental illness as an ongoing battle and who have made it their life’s work to help others experiencing the same thing. I’m so humbled that one of those people doing great great things, asked me to speak on his podcast. Go and give his page and podcast of the same name some love! Shanes also currently raising money for Mindfull Aus who provide workshops and training in the high-risk areas of mental health and suicide. Seeing as FB Alghorhytms don’t like Exeternal links on posts the to donate to his fundraiser is in the comments Podcast is out next week

14.01.2022 Time to welcome ambassador @serenagibbss to PSV Serena is just awesome- she told me to say this Serena is awesome though and when we chatted it was amazing to think that we both were keen to make this a partnership moving forward. ... Serena is a kind and generous person who loves helping others and wants to inspire the next generation of females and athletes. No better example then while she was working away in his first season at AFLW and she put her hand up to help my fiancé @aliciamortley_vitalityfitt with netball coaching. An up and coming netball star transitioned to footballer who played some great footy at the Eastern Ranges and was drafted to Carlton in the AFLW. When we are able to Serena and I will catch up and set up some things moving forward. We already have some great plans to help at schools in the next couple of years and it’s an exciting time for PSV. Things have changed and I’ve had to adapt with what I wanted to do before COVID. I’m so grateful that people have stood by what I’m doing despite the unfortunate changes. Each day I wake up excited to be able to share and help others who want the help on the journey. We will be setting up a discount code for clothing which will be shared by @serenagibbss at times... so you’ll have to follow her and support her for discounts in the future #mentalhealth #aflw #life #power #strength #vulnerability #carltonfootballclub

07.01.2022 It hit me again last week that I’d said yes to a lot of things and slowly my life was coming to a forced halt. I’m so grateful I picked it up... You see I was putting in per week... - 35-45 hours into my traineeship and study - 20-30 hours in to UberEATS.... - 5-10 hours in to my crickey club roles - 5-7 hours into PSV per week When I wasn’t doing these things, I was thinking about it, stressing about it and I was starting to feel really burnt out again. All of what I was doing had purpose but in life we can’t be everything and do everything at once unfortunately. I’ve taken 3 days off over the last couple of weeks to pull back on a lot of commitments and put in some steps to make sure I look after my health. Podcasts for 2020 are all recorded (a couple to still be released) and I’ll look to return in 2021 with some HUGE guests! I’ll be slowing down PSV and this was hard to say but with the need to make an income and build a future. It’s going to be pulled back a bit for now. Bloody hell- that’s hard to write and re-read. It’ll still do its role. Posts/blog x 3 a week with more structure Charity match will go ahead Clothes are still in stock (all profit now will be put back in to the community starting with Mindfull Aus) It will be back to a pure hobby with less pressure Other changes are happening behind the scenes to streamline my life so I’m ok. Because if I’m in hospital again.. I can’t help anyone. So I’m staying out and keeping on top off things this time Looking after yourself is number one because you’ll have a ripple effect on those around you if you’re not. It’s funny how we think doing more will help but it’s such a short term fix for our internal battles. Slowing down is what we really need to do and appreciate who we are and those things that are in each moment. Less is more

05.01.2022 PSV in 2021 and what not to do with someone with mental health issues

04.01.2022 People that have known me for a while would know I had anger issues I was a reactive person in a lot of situations. I never understood it and I just kept telling myself I was a bad person or a bad friend or a bad family member. I do not think my friends or family would even know but daily I would tell myself I did not deserve them in my life. ... I would run away, self-harm, yell, and cry at the smallest things. The reactions were over reactions in the eyes of many and then it would be joked about with my friends or I would hear that I should not act like that. The problem though was the reactions felt so out of control but it is also didn’t feel like me. Last year was quite a reactive year as well for me and I knew it was time to put in the work again to heal and to educate myself. On the sporting field, at home and out with friends- again it didn’t feel like I was being me. All the hard work led to some huge improvements learning about my traumas and where these reactions were coming from. They were coming three irrational and immature beliefs that I had and that most humans have in some way or another. More to come on those another day It was recently I found meditation that changed my world completely. The first thing was learning the difference between meditation, relaxation, contemplation, and rumination. I found myself never actually meditating as I was doing the other three. When I started meditating it was difficult to say the least but over time, I’ve started to understand it and incorporate in to every second day of my week. I’ve been able to slow down and observe things as they happen, rather than react. Not all the time I must add but, on a lot, more consistent basis. In my relationship I’ve been reactive on a couple of occasions and one reaction in a message group with the boys. Meditation has helped me with skills to watch my thoughts and help me really see them as thoughts. For someone who has suicidal thoughts it’s a great skill to have. Thoughts don’t scare me anymore I laugh at the irrationality of the thoughts that can occur in our minds. Meditation has helped emphasis the fact that everything is impermanent and nothing last forever. Due to a couple of hip operations sitting cross legged at times can be quite painful/uncomfortable and to be able to now sit there and realise the pain isn’t permanent and in between pain is moments of bliss and calm is in incredible feeling. These reasons is why I am so passionate about helping others by learning how to teach meditation. Nick is the current teacher of meditation at MyndFit and he has an online membership available for $15 a week If you’re feeling reactive, stuck, foggy brained and lacking clarity like I do from time to time. It’s worth at least a try. What have you got to lose? DM if you want to ask any questions or just give it a go.

04.01.2022 Why did I apply for adventure all stars TV? Since I was a little kid I’ve always dreamed of being on TV is my ego wanting to jump on but in the last 10 years in my role with mental health I’ve just wanted to spread my message wider to help more people. That’s why I applied and jumped at the opportunity. At 21, my life was very close to being all over after a suicide attempt... luck saved me and I’m so thankful it did. I want my action and how I’ve been able to bounce back ...multiple times from severe mental illness and mental health issues to inspire others. To show them that they can achieve huge things in their life. Their goals might be completely different to mine and that’s great We all have a purpose. We are all on this planet for a reason and we all deserve to be content. I want to be able to stand on adventure all stars TV and show people who may be fighting mental health issues that if they do the hard yards they can achieve amazing things. I’m achieving a dream of mine to be on TV and to be on TV for such a great cause completes the dream. I want to be able to tell me future kids about life and how much they can achieve with hard work, resilience and surrounding themselves with the best people (my mates are fricken awesome)... Link is in my bio to donate and if you want to sponsor, please contact me as there is some great opportunities available. Thanks to @aliciamortley_vitalityfitt & @poolsdolphin for already sponsoring me and allowing me to reach 25% of my fundraising goal already All donations and sponsorships go to @mindfullaus https://mindfullausfundraiser.raisely.com/shane-kelton #adventureallstarstv #mindfullaus #charitytvglobal

03.01.2022 I’ve never been able to smell for as long as I can remember. In high school I’d just agree when the other kids would talk about someone’s bad odour behind their back. I’d then walk off and think maybe it was a hint for me. ... Being anosmic has played out in a lot of negative habit loops through out my life. Constantly over time I’ve been teased or joked about when it comes to cleaning, messiness, food, or natural body things. The fact is I didn’t just want to be a messy person but having no smell I never realised things actually stunk so it never clicked. My idea of dirty was/is completely different to others... I’d be lying if I said it had got easier as I got older because it actually got worse because these bad habits are now really frowned upon as you become an adult. My mental health in my opinion has always been matched with this as I’ve got so anxious on daily and hourly occurrences about so many things. Not having a sense is horrible. Yes, I’m working on all the above but it’s extremely challenging when you get constant reminders about being dirty/messy/lazy and it’s a weekly thing to head a family member or friend say oh, I forgot you can’t smell Sometimes the anxiety of not being able to smell has led me to not leave the house because I had built it up in a huge way. There is some FAQs I get asked 1. I don’t know if food taste different because (refer to number 2) 2. I’ve been like this for as long as I can remember 3. The doctors can’t do anything- I’ve tried 4. Yes it is shit when people don’t understand but that’s the reality. 5. Yes, people don’t think it’s a big deal when they’ve got it but it has effected me greatly. https://www.nytimes.com//hea/coronavirus-smell-taste.html
