73 - Two reasons you’ll stop working on your mindset/mental health (and why both of them are a mistake!)

There are two reasons you’ll stop working on your mindset. The first is “it worked so well I stopped doing it.” Maybe you started meditation during a particularly stressful time and used the practice to get through it. Then once out the other end you “didn’t need that stuff” to go about your day. The second is when things hit the fan we abandon the practice because it’s not urgent. You’ve too many fires to put out that you can’t waste time sitting quietly when there’s so much to be done. The problem with both of them is you never break free of the panic-slump cycle. If you’re only investing in calming your mind during a crisis you’ll never build any buffer of calm to stop you getting stressed and anxious. And after a few goes of the cycle you’ll start to dismiss the practice as not worth it. If you drop your self care when there’s an emergency you’re increasing, not decreasing your chance of making a costly mistake when your thinking to be at its clearest! Start small, a minute a day, and dial the mindset work up and down as needed. And when you feel the need to hit the off switch, that’s the time to double down on taking care of your mental well-being. https://thementalhealthplan.com/the-two-reasons-youll-stop-working-on-your-mindset-mental-health-and-why-both-of-them-are-a-mistake/ Book a Call - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18248924&appointmentType=11286512
