Ep 6: Simple Strategies To Support Your Mental Health

The state of your mental health can vary based on where you are in life, what you have experienced in the past, and how you worked through those circumstances. While you may bounce back from a setback, it may take someone else longer to shake the feeling of being weighed down. ⁠I don’t know when talking about our mental health became taboo, but we really need to normalize this conversation and seek support if needed. In celebration of Mental  Health Awareness Month, in this episode, I share simple ways to support your mental health actively.

Ep 5: Do You Deserve a Better Life ?

Have you ever felt that there has to be more to life than this? More than working, paying bills, the yearly vacations, brunch at a new spot with friends, or activities with the kids? Most women desire a more fulfilled life, but this often requires more time, resources, or support. What if living a life that you honestly dreamed of was within your grasp? What would you do if you had more time, resources, and support? Would you travel more, start that new business, hire help around the house to do the things that no longer fit into your schedule to do more things you love? Would you take an hour just to rest? I ask these questions because all that you desire is within your grasp. There may be elements of your life that you would love to get rid of, need to change, or are perfect for you. The life you deserve and choose will require some self-reflection and inner work. In this podcast episode, I  offer a few strategies to help you start this journey. So let’s get started in creating this life that you will love.

Ep 4: You Have The Power To Reclaim Your Time

The truth about time is, we are all allotted the same amount of time each day, you can’t get time back once it is gone, and even if we were gifted more time most of us wouldn’t use it effectively. I had reached a point where even if I was gifted more time in a day, I would probably return that gift to the sender. In this episode I discuss how I used my power to reclaim my time with routines, and a few simple strategies to begin creating routines.  Episode Highlights:  * The truth about time  * What is a routine ? *  How routines help us to reclaim our time  * The benefits of routines  * Strategies to reclaim your time  * Patreon Shout out   * Recommended Resources  *  Episode Quote  Show Notes: You Have The Power to Reclaim Your Time [https://lifestyleinoverload.com/index.php/2021/02/26/you-have-the-power-to-reclaim-your-time/]  Resources Mentioned In This Podcast:   Eat That Frog   [https://amzn.to/3kgMsQq]  Atomic Habits   [https://amzn.to/3EMEHLe]  Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything [https://amzn.to/3vj6BLG]  Disclaimer: These links contain affiliate links, if you make a purchase I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you  Support  this Podcast by joining the Lifestyle In Overload Community on Patreon  [https://www.patreon.com/Taiseales] .Connect With Me:  Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/taiseales/] | Twitter [https://twitter.com/TaiSeales] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/TaiSeales] | Clubhouse [https://www.clubhouse.com/@taiseales?utm_medium=ch_profile&utm_campaign=g_B4G3S4CaYCnh-8FcASlQ-166068] | Join LIO Newsletter  [https://lifestyleinoverload.ck.page/af6ec29437]
