NOTE: The comments and recommendations in this episode are very helpful.  However, they are not a replacement for professional interventions. Please reach out to a medical or behavioral health professional if you struggle with anxiety and depression. You matter, and asking for help is BRAVE! Mental Health Awareness is vital to the quality of our life and the lives of others. We live in stressful times. How do you manage? Do you consume media that cause distress?  Do you isolate? Do you exercise less than you used to? Do you take time for yourself to meditate or think about things that are good in your life? How you answer the above questions can impact your overall sense of well-being. Mitch Mullins offers some powerful strategies to deal with feelings of anxiety and depression. It starts with you. Trying new strategies can feel difficult, and Mitch supports that truth in his compassionate suggestions. Please share this episode with everyone you know dealing with depression and anxiety.
