Welcome to Episode 123 - Is this helpful?
Over the last few months, my mental health has been declining. Anxiety, stress and depression have been having a party, and this has had me re-visit my self-care and support systems.
One of the most crucial supports I’ve had is my business wellness coach. He has helped me to reflect on my thoughts, feelings and behaviours and ask myself “is this helpful?”. The more I ask myself this question, the easier it is for me to switch off my emotional brain, and switch on my rational brain. This switch has improved my problem solving skills during my heightened moments.
So let me share this tool with you, so you too can regain control of negative thoughts, feelings or behaviours.

“We're switching on the rational brain. And so we can start problem solving here”
