It is really easy for all of us to view our journey through life in a short term lens. I think this is mainly because of survival instincts that we feel consistently worrying about daily, short term problems, sometimes out of necessity.   When on the path of self improvement, and making changes in a positive way regarding our mental health, we all come to realize how long life actually can be, and...

So, I recently completely 75 Hard for the 4th time, which is a mental toughness, and discipline program to help build those skills.   During this time of doing 75 Hard, I went through a lot of personal reflection, some reflections were positive, and some were a little more tough to go through.   If you liked the show, help it grow!   Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Podcast, and Spotify! &...

Marcus is BACK on the show, and this week we got into our feels, or perhaps I should say, I got into MY FEELS.   We dove deep into some of the struggles that I personally have with MY mental health, and the battles that I have had with depression, anxiety, and the problems of guilt and shame.   His IG: @marcustorgerson   His FB: https://www.facebook.com/marcustorgerson?mibextid=D4KYlr   His Websit...

Sometimes we all need the reminder that we all need someone to talk to, and when we are going through the thick of it, in our darkest days, it can be the hardest to reach out.

It’s clear as day that social media and the way that we currently live our lives has completely destroyed our attention spans.   I wanted to talk about how modern society and social media have impacted our mental health, and caused depression, anxiety, stress, and the loss of our attention span.

When dealing with depression, anxiety, or any mental illness, it can be easy to get lost in the thick of it!   When we are focused so much on what we have lost, or what we could have had, or done, or anything we don’t have yet, we are focused all on NEGATIVITY.   When operating in a lens of positivity and gratitude, it makes it much easier to go through the hard times, thinking: What can I do to m...

When it comes to mental health, and self development, when a lot of us start out on our journeys to improve ourselves, and improve the state perhaps of depression, or anxiety we all come to a similar realization eventually.   This could be perhaps that when you feel negative all the time, and never feel positivity, what we desire is the exact opposite, which would be never feeling bad, and always...

In relation to mental health, self development, self improvement, and anything related to those things, reflection is super important.   It’s important to remember our mistakes, our downfalls, to meditate on the challenges, we have faced, and how we can learn from them.   However, sometimes it’s important to remember and reflect on how far we have come, and to be proud of the person who we were wh...

Our finances? Our energy levels? Our self esteem?   Can this lead to an endless chase that spirals into depressi...
