Question: Between your physical and mental health, which do you feel needs the most attention today?
Answer: Definitely mental health, although both go hand-in-hand. As I think about the challenges in my life right now – relationships, work, health, etc. – it’s more important than ever for me to take care of my mental health needs so I don’t go over the deep end. Luckily, I’ve been able to avoid most mental health challenges because I’ve been able to maintain the activities that bring me joy, as well as connect with many of the LDC Tribe members. Knowing that the next Life Design Catalyst Training is coming up in a month and a half gets me excited. In fact, I had a chance to chat with two Tribe members on Friday afternoon, both are attending the December Training because they want to think about their “what’s next?” at a deeper level. In fact, one of them plans to bring several people to attend, which makes it even better – to introduce this great work to others who aren’t familiar with the work. Anyway, I was pretty jacked up after talking with them, because I have this deep, deep desire to help them find their path, as well as help them move forward if their path is something different than what they are currently doing. I think it will be an event where we are helping each other, since that seems to be a theme for EVERYONE these days!
Other Stuff
As the last day of October AND Halloween, I thought I would share this article I read a couple of days ago. I thought it was an interesting take on living an Authentic Life. It seems to be a word that’s coming up over and over in many of the conversations I’ve been a part of the past few days. What does it mean to live an authentic life? If you don’t know where to start, this article might be a good place to start:
- 33 Ways To Be Your Authentic Self (And Live More Happily) – https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/journal/lifestyle/33-ways-authentic-happiness-wellbeing-10100564
Although I don’t necessarily agree with all 33 options, I do believe many are extremely useful, such as “Fakery = Fear,” “Explore Your Core (Values),” “Open Up,” and “Envision the Authentic You.” Are there any that stand out most for you?
