So how are we ever going to top our first Up To Speed episode about mental health?
What if we transform our homes into a zen paradise? Waterfalls! Salt cave! And a huge teddy bear that just hugs you.
Sounds great! Two notes: One, we don't have any of those things, and two, our combined budget is zero.
Ok, well what if just ask the V Teamers what they do to maintain mental health?
Oh, yeah. That's a much better idea. 
As you've heard before, May is Mental Health Awareness Month, 
and while the month⁠ may be winding down, wellness is a year-round work in progress. 
Last week, we explored Verizon's many mental-health resources, from Wellness Fridays on Up To Speed Live 
to the Daily Doses of physical and mental well-being on our social channels.
We also found inner peace or at least some sweet, sweet content, thanks to your mental-health updates.
Gennie Barr, a senior manager for Network Assurance in Pleasanton, California, 
replaced the time she had spent on her daily commute with an early morning walk that wakes her up and clears her mind.
Cary Watson from Human Resources has embraced solo distancing through her regular home workouts and virtual connections with friends. 
She feels better physically and mentally than she has in years, as a bonus, she's proud to have lost 20 pounds. Go, Cary!
To maintain morale and promote wellness, Nancy Parenteau introduced the idea for her small-cell real estate team 
to virtually celebrate their themed Wednesdays.
And on a global scale, our entire V Team can find even more wellness 
through Verizon Media's “Reset Your Mindset” series.
Kicking off last Wednesday on Yahoo Life, the series has featured live-streamed wellness discussions 
with entertainment, health and business thought-leaders. 
Among many other celebrity guests, Olympic legend Michael Phelps shared insights on mental-health solutions.
When you reset your focus, you're just almost taking a step back, taking a deep breath and then starting on your journey again.
And following a wildly popular April 3rd episode of Up To Speed: Live, 
our own Guru reconnected with Deepak Chopra for additional insights to help our daily lives.
Is there a shortcut or quick fix to feeling our best?
Yes. The shortcut is 'Be here now'. So, if you can be totally present to present-moment experience, it's a shortcut.
Day 2 of “Reset Your Mindset” starts today at 5 p.m. ET on Yahoo Finance, 
and will offer leadership insights from industry thought-leaders, 
ranging from Mark Cuban to Christina Stembel from Farmgirl Flowers.
V Teamers, we've got even more resources for your wellness.
Go to VZ Web or The Street to check them all out.
Hey, uh, real talk: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
When can we get that giant teddy bear?
Yes! And can we get one for 68 cents? 
Uh, make that, uh, 31 cents.
