Overcoming Dark Times: John Richards Shares Strategies for Mental Resilience and Growth

from Apogee Strong · host Matt Beaudreau

At some point in life, we will experience a mental breakdown due to the challenges and adversities we are going through. Sadly, many people nowadays succumb to this dark energy and fall from it, suffering immensely. So how can we overcome this? Experiencing depression, you might want to run away, but instead, you need to fight back with those around you to push out this obstacle. John Richards shares his journey as a Navy SEAL and what he learned from it. Humans do different things, but we have one thing in common: we can all be mentally down and exhausted. In order to overcome this, we need to fight back and not run away. Doing so will help you overcome the dark energy and be stronger the next time it comes. Tune in as they chat about health, life, business, and more! Quotes: “When you feel that dark feeling roll in, lean into a dude and fight back, don't let it just sit there bound on you day after day. Throw some punches and show who's who. All that dark energy Go tell it to go away.” – John Richards “My no-fail mission right now is furthering the legacy of Richard's last name. How do I leave my last name better than I found it before I got it.” – John Richards “Learn how to get out in front of your problem. But to do that, you must sit down, plan, and think about where you're in life. And what it is you're trying to grow ” – John Richards Takeaways: When you are feeling down or depressed, don’t run from it or be idle. Lean into your friends or family and fight back. Find out what you’re passionate about, learn how to be great at it, have a vision, and stay proactive. Applying these things will make your life better. Careful thinking and planning are necessary to get out of your problems. Know where you are in your life and what your visions are. Those who move without a plan are just walking in a direction without a destination. Conclusion: It is normal to feel sad, exhausted and depressed when going through many hardships. But what you need to do to control that dark energy and force them away is to learn to face it. Don’t let it ruin you inside; jump into action and show who you are. https://apogeestrong.comhttps://apogeewoman.com/https://apogeestrongdads.comhttps://apogeestrongfoundation.org
