I don't know if others feel this way, but I feel that having a roof over my head and having my health is what makes most of us privileged. I wish there was less complaining and more self-reflection. Personally, for my mental health I'm keeping a journal of sorts; just dumping my random thoughts, doodles and future goals/plans. I hope this was helpful for someone!

*#1 most powerful self care tip*
Recognise, you are the hero you have been waiting for. No one will save you, except you save yourself. You hold the keys to your own freedom.

I love Les Brown, he is the first motivational speaker I listened to, and that's how I found my way to Impact Theory!

"Distract, dispute, and inspire." A perfect mantra to start every day. First we have to do it for ourselves. Then we can do it for others.

Confidence is knowing who you are and not changing it a bit because of someone’s version of reality is not your reality. Be yourself ! 💓🙏

Thank you for helping with the new normal I’m striving for @ age 61 1/2 and truly want peace and joy

Thanks for this one Tom. I neglected my health grinding, building a business the last 3 years and it caught up to me. The last 4 months have been all about self care, health, feeling better and learning how to relax. Never realized the health problems that heavy stress could cause. Health really is wealth.

Doing what you truly love and are passionate about each and every day is the fasted way I know of to take care of yourself and your mental health! For me that’s running a YouTube channel🤗
