In this episode we explore how to navigate life's unknowns and stay mentally healthy through simple daily practices that build resilience.
• New podcast format includes full episodes and shorter "pep talk" episodes
• The "Daily Five" practices that help manage anxiety and depression: stillness, movement, breath, intention, and growth
• Importance of "parenting yourself" by making yourself do what you know is beneficial for mental health
• How trying to control the uncontrollable creates unnecessary anxiety and ruins our own day
• We can control our actions but not outcomes or most external circumstances
• Anxiety often comes from the false belief we can control the future through worry
• Learning to surrender to life's unknowns brings more peace than fighting them
This week's challenge: commit to practicing your version of the Daily Five and recognize where you're trying to control things you can't.
