It's okay to change your mind. 👍 That just shows that you are not in a fixed mindset in any one situation.
Thank you for your content, Sarah. Having a productivity hour is something that I have never thought of utilising so maybe I will incorporate that once I figure out whether that works for me.
Such a useful episode today. 👍 Doing things I don't want to do is what helps me grow and learn to push against my boundaries instead of giving into them.
Another good find here. 👍🏻 Thank you for your comments today.
This podcast really resonated with me and gave me a lot to think about when it comes to my own mental health. I agree that this is a topic that needs to be talked about more and definitely something I should be thinking about in myself more. After listening I took some time to really think about my current thought processes and how I feel in myself. I was definitely able to reevaluate my personal goals and what I want to focus on now moving forward....
awesome❤❤❤❤
Lots of blather, repetition. want to get to the tips but they are too buried. Would love more conciseness. Not finding it mindful.
