Day 5
•
I’ll be doing 22 push-ups a day for 22 days to raise awareness for combat veterans. 22 vets a day are committing suicide. It is tragic and we need to challenge ourselves to raise awareness to support them and help them find a safe place to find peace. Please pray for them and ask God to help them find hope in Him, as He is our constant companion in all times. •
If you or someone you know is in need of help, call 1.(800).237.8255
•
The rules of the challenge are simple:
Once you are nominated, your 22 days will commence the following day
*Every day, you will record yourself completing the 22 push ups. Try your very best to reach 22 unbroken (without stopping). If thait means doing assisted (from your knees) push-ups or against a wall, that is fine. If you have to do multiple sets, that is fine too. Just get them all done in the video.
Every day you must nominate a different person. Try to choose people that this cause may resonate with and that you think will want to do it. It may help someone jumpstart a new training program.
*And finally, have fun with this. This is a simple and fun way to get the word out about a matter that more people need to be aware about.
These brave men and women put their lives on the line to protect our freedom only to get out and feel lost. It is sad that so many good veterans feel that suicide is the only way out.
So, let’s show them some support!
That all being said, today, I nominate @agonzalez_10
Thanks to for the challenge!

Compassionate touch—do you know what it looks like? What it feels like?
Here I am working with my favorite body part, the hand. This is the perfect place to show compassionate care for another human being. In fact, many people can actually feel the rush of oxytocin that is released when the hand is touched.
Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter dispersed by the hypothalamus through the posterior lobe of pituitary gland. It plays an important role in social bonding, empathy, trust, feelings of altruism, and psychological stability.
Again—psychological stability.
I use massage therapy to help my clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD and feelings of loneliness and emptiness. And to keep them out of bar fights and shit.
It works.

Fact: Suicide rates increase during the spring
.
Fact: asking your loved ones if they’re suicidal does not make them suicidal
.
Fact: it’s not too late to get help

It’s okay to be notOK!

President Trump is trying to tackle the VA and I applaud him for that. It has been mismanaged and seems to forget that they are there for our Veterans! Sadly it's mostly military families that care about this. My husband is an 82nd Airborne Vet, our oldest just got out of the Marine Corps, I have a nephew in the Army, couson in the Air Force and 2 cousins in the Navy and one in the Army Reserves plus countless Vets. We see to many Veteran suicides and horrendous care offered. THIS is government run healthcare! #22aday #thankavet

My buddy Spc Samson 10 yr death anniversary is coming up next month and I want to do a short film for him. This is just a snippet from the monologue that I did about the day he took his life in Iraq. I want to thank @moneylotho for being the best supporting actor. I will be needing @truthstudio5 and @danimals415 to help me on this journey. This will be a passion piece for me and my brothers and sisters who served with me in Iraq. Fly to glory! 10th CAB.
