I’m not a fan of motivational gurus giving people the answer of “No Excuses” or just “Try Harder” because it completely dismisses the very real physiological mental health issues someone may have that go beyond the conscious mind’s control.

It’s never been a more important time to prioritize emotional wellness.

The National Center For Emotional Wellness defines emotional wellness as "an awareness, understanding, and acceptance of our feelings, and our ability to manage effectively through challenges and change."

Learning more about emotional wellness is crucial as many misconceptions currently fog our judgment around emotions. Many of us believe the goal is about “not having feelings” but rather learning what to do with them.

Emotions are one of the fastest forms of communication between our body and mind. When something happens, or someone says something, we often immediately feel our body communicating via emotion.

The best leaders and communicators understand the importance of upgrading emotional wellness to improve any situation and stress levels.

Master emotional wellness with these five key steps...

Sometimes, the best mental health habits aren't black & white, like meditation and exercise.

Sometimes, the best habits are the ones that uniquely speak to your mind, soul, and heart.

Sometimes, it takes years and decades for you to discover what that looks like for you.

We are all aware to some degree of how our clothes impact our confidence. What we choose to wear is the most outer layer of how we are perceived by the world.

If we’re going to a formal event, dress formally, or else you will stick out negatively.

Whereas others of us who grew up in certain cultural or family beliefs might think someone who dresses in particular clothes is a particular kind of person, etc.

What you wear matters…

But not for the reason you would think.

We probably don’t think twice about what we are going to wear and how it may impact ourselves and our anxiety. Today we will discuss the role of our clothes and social anxiety.

Do you trust yourself? I hope so because you should trust yourself.

But, let me ask you a question…

Do you think you know the most about yourself compared to others?

Probably yes.

But, do you know yourself more than your brain knows you? Maybe not.

Your brain knows everything about you and more.

In this episode, we will talk about the subtle art of not trusting your brain…

Want to reduce social anxiety? Check out this realistic method that might be a bit difficult at first, but it “works” well.

I remember years ago when I was first unwinding the layers of social anxiety I was trying everything and anything I could experiment with to help me out.

I would go to the mall or another crowded area and I would basically experiment and talk with strangers. Now, I know depending on who you are, that might sound out of this world.

But, bear with me.

Disclaimer: If this is your first time taking action on your social anxiety or do not have an actionable recovery plan. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND starting off with this as your first step. Why? Doing this is difficult. I recommend trying out the other practices to reduce and recover from social anxiety before you start doing this for the best results.

Facing depression & anxiety is correlated with being unable to remember and loss of memory.

Often it's a coping mechanism to disassociate, mentally daydream, escape & blast off 🚀

Luckily, this is partly reversible and you can color in your experiences & life events!

I don't know about you but when I look at my past struggle to remember many parts of my childhood.

Through deep work, I've been able to uncover more of my memories and even at times change the past.

Huh?

How do I change my memories?

You can’t go back in time and change the past, but you can change how you think past.

Listen to this episode to find how :)

Anxiety often goes hand and hand with poor sleep.

The worse your anxiety, the worse your sleep, and the worse your sleep the worse your anxiety becomes the next day. It’s a brutal toxic cycle.

I know the breaking point of a human is not being able to sleep.

As a result, many of us have picked up bad sleeping habits or drug ourselves into an unconscious state to just wake up the next day not feeling rested.

If you’re anything like me, and most people in America I’ve suffered from sleeping issues my entire life. As a kid, I hardly experienced a good night’s rest and often didn’t sleep more than an hour or two, if at all.

We’ve covered before in-depth how Deep Sleep is the Antidote to Anxiety.

In today’s case, I wanted to show you 3 very simple things you can do to easily fall asleep as fast as possible…
