While it's totally fine to have goals that aim to improve how you look on the outside, I've learned that it's important to take the focus off of solely changing appearance, and remembering all the reasons why movement is essential for our mental health, our future health, our quality of life, and our general well-being. Grab your headphones - let's take a walk together!

In today's episode, I'm going to be sharing the essential practices I do in order to support my mental health in times of struggle. As someone who has dealt with varying degrees of anxiety and depression since childhood, I know first hand how difficult it can be to do "basic life stuff" in these dark moments. I am in no way trying to suggest that it is easy to overcome bad mental health days, but I have found that the practices I share in this episode are extremely helpful when I am not doing well mentally. No matter what state your mental health is in, please know that you are loved, and you are not alone. I am so happy you are here.
