Here’s a thought. When you’re hosting a constant battle within your mind, start a podcast to showcase some live results. Name your opponent “Mind Bully”. Share your struggles, triumphs, and every lesson you’re learning along the way. While you’re at it, invite friends to share thoughts with you on mental wellness, anxiety, self-help, and personal growth. Learn from their experiences and remind yourself that you have the mental stamina to overcome this ongoing battle. Lastly, remember to live, laugh, build meaningful relationships, and to not take life too seriously. Make sure you invite others do to the same. So what do you say? Join me every Monday! read less
