What did you do to protect your mental health through lockdowns, loss of tribe, and social connection?

In this episode, I answer a question from a listener on what I did/do to protect my mental health.Journaling is a big part of the process for me, because it allows me to practice gratitude and appreciation as I reflect on the past, as well as being the first action step to setting a vision, and subsequent action steps on the path into the future.I reference a number of other podcast episodes and social media posts in this episode, which you will find below, for context.Values drive behaviours: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-EBIIvp00W/What makes you think 2021 will be any different: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJc7d8zJbbD/Journaling is putting your thoughts on paper: https://youtu.be/qYvVN9wYa-E2020 reflections: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1082945/7161403-reflect-to-project.mp3?download=trueYour host - Shaun Kober Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancef...
