It Gets Better, I Promise
Episode 6, Aug 19, 2020, 11:43 AM
As humans, the thought of "rock bottom" terrifies us and creates an uncontrollable fear as we move forward in life. This mindset is dangerous as we begin to avoid anything that may potentially trigger a panic attack, which in turn, restricts and confines our comfort zone.
I'm not encouraging us to do things that harm our mental health such as taking drugs, being reckless and eating junk food, but instead, activities and experiences that push us out of our comfort zone, such as meeting friends, trying new things, and so on. Our anxiety and depression limit our comfort zone, forcing us to live a restricted and confined lifestyle. Pushing ourselves out of this comfort zone and expanding it is the first step in building a better, more fulfilling life.
As motivational speaker Les Brown said, “if you do what’s easy, your life will be hard. However, if you do what’s hard, your life will be easy.”
