In this episode we dive into the 3 key areas that make up our mental health. These areas of our lives are the key contributors that influence whether we feel like we’re in a good mental state or need more support.

The aspects of mental health tie into stress that we encounter on a day to day basis. Some of it experienced in temporary moments. Other stress can linger and have a lasting effect on our well being.

We’ll chat about coping mechanisms on how to better manage and overcome anything triggering that you’re dealing with at the moment. The book that I couldn’t think of at the time of recording is The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. This helped me to prioritize healthy habits first thing in the morning to start me in a positive and calmer of mind for the day to come.

Also, if you’re looking to exercise as a way to help manage your stress but not sure where to get started, go back to episode #18 where I help you Start a Solo Strength Training Program. Side note, you don’t always need to do it alone.
