Matt is braving it for a solo episode this week! He’s stepping out of his comfort zone for a candid chat about a big part of any addict’s recovery: mental health. It’s a topic lots of our listeners have been asking Matt to open up about. So today, he’s breaking down the day-to-day practices that have helped him the most – and can help you too. Some of these habits Matt developed early on in his recovery journey. Others he’s only beginning to see the potential of today. From a beginner’s introduction to meditation, to the power of a freezing cold shower (just hear us out!), to the number one way to start your day, we hope that everyone can take something away from this conversation.  (00:00) Introduction  (02:29) Start everyday with gratitude (07:00) What I do for my mental health (08:45) An introduction to meditation   (14:14) Relaxation with binaural beats  (16:03) Getting dopamine from cold water therapy (21:20) Get moving everyday (23:00) Changing my relationship with my past self (24:00) The power of therapy (27:47) Follow evidence over self belief
