Episode Highlights:  Introduction of Archana Shrestha Awakening in 2020 (Covid story) Pursuing passions and overcoming burnout Handling Frustrations (Heartbreak as a parent) Signs that you are reaching rock bottom of burn out How burnout affects marriage Importance of taking care of yourself (feel better and ac better) The importance of having a healthy mind in losing weight Controlling our thoughts Understanding what stress does to your body Recognizing your stress and what you are feeling Examine Your Thoughts Everything originates in your mind. To achieve long-term success, it is essential to consider several mindset shifts. Often, experiencing burnout leads to reliance on food, resulting in weight gain and increased stress. However, the root issue lies not in burnout, stress, or weight gain, but in your thinking. The cycle begins with your thoughts and how you manage them; these thoughts trigger your emotions, influencing your mindset. The emotions you feel align with your actions, and your actions align with your daily goals. This means that if negative thinking dominates your mind, you are likely to experience adverse outcomes throughout the day.
