What I Actually Do for My Mental Health

Matt is braving it for a solo episode this week! He’s stepping out of his comfort zone for a candid chat about a big part of any addict’s recovery: mental health.It’s a topic lots of our listeners have been asking Matt to open up about. So today, he’s breaking down the day-to-day practices that have helped him the most – and can help you too.Some of these habits Matt developed early on in his recovery journey. Others he’s only beginning to see the potential of today.From a beginner’s introduction to meditation, to the power of a freezing cold shower (just hear us out!), to the number one way to start your day, we hope that everyone can take something away from this conversation. (00:00) Introduction (02:29) Start everyday with gratitude(07:00) What I do for my mental health(08:45) An introduction to meditation  (14:14) Relaxation with binaural beats (16:03) Getting dopamine from cold water therapy(21:20) Get moving everyday(23:00) Changing my relationship with my past self(24:00) The power of therapy(27:47) Follow evidence over self belief  Hosted on Acast.
