L60 Emotional Health Matters

Self-care has become a ridiculous, irritating word that sounds like a chore. It doesn't have to be that way. Self-care is a reset. It's a mindset of caring about how you feel. When life gets overwhelming, it's easy to put our care practices to the side. Our needs come last, and we try to save and rescue everyone around us. We are working hard, but we are burning out. Eventually, we hit a wall, and we know it's time for a change. If you're at that critical point, Dr. Lydia and Mentor Leslee are talking to you.

In this episode, mentor Leslee shares her wise four questions to keep you focused on what matters most. Find us on instagram @emotional.health.matters

In tough situations, it can be hard to find our feelings of self-esteem. We look outward for signs that we're okay. It can feel like we're always grasping for something to hold onto.

Imposter syndrome is extremely common. It's that little voice in our head that lies to us, and says, "you're not good enough." We second guess our value and become indecisive. So many of us are held back by limiting beliefs around our abilities. Often, for no good reason. We stay in our comfort zone and think we deserve less than we do. Good news! You can transform imposter syndrome into a motivator for change, and you can start taking baby steps to push your comfort zone boundaries and step into a great place of power. Always remember your emotional health matters.
