Episode Synopsis

In this Monday's with Michael interview, I talk about how I overcame depression as an entrepreneur and give you seven actionable mental health tips to keep your well-being in balance. Developing a positive mindset as an entrepreneur is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your business. I recently wrote about this on Medium and how mental health is more than money.   It can be challenging to get into that mindset though, if you don't first face the person you've been running from – and by that person I mean yourself. Use these tips to do the work and learn who you are, what you want and why you are the way you are – challenge your old belief system and walk away with a renewed sense of purpose.  1. Hire a Transformational Coach I joined Jim Fortin's Transformational Life Coaching and began to change my life from the inside out.  2. Do Hypnotherapy Reprogram your subconscious by investing in hypnotherapy. Find a certified professional in your area. 3. Become a Student of the Mind Anxiety and depression start with your thinking! If you can learn to change your thoughts, you can change your life. 4. Quit Hustling Hustling can lead quickly to burn out. I follow the advice of James Wedmore "The less I do, the more I make".  5. Quit Comparing Yourself to Others Compare yourself to the previous version of yourself and not to someone else!  6. Begin Self – Care Rituals Invest in anything that makes you feel better mentally. This helps you show up better in the world! 7. Learn to Love Yourself Your business and results are a direct reflection of how well you treat yourself. The more you grow, the more your business will as well.  Liked the episode? Leave a review here: https://www.inspireyoursuccess.com/apple Ready to start freelance writing?
