Body Image, Mental Health, Self Acceptance, Taking Time To Reflect #72

How much time do you spend working on your mind? We invest our money and time on our bodies, education, finances and appearance but how much are we investing in the thing that matters most, our mental health?  How we think and feel about ourselves plays a huge role in how we will treat ourselves, others and our actions. 

In this episode, we cover multiple topics including, self acceptance, how our inner dialogue affects us and the people around us. You’ll also hear why it’s important to take time to assess and reflect, along with our personal journeys of self acceptance and mental wellbeing.
