I want you to know that no matter where
you are in life no matter how low you
have sunk no matter how bleak the
situation
you are not alone you know if you’re
going through a divorce right now if
you’re going through a financial problem
right now if you’re going through an
illness right now if you are going
through any form of crisis right now I
know you might be you might not even
want to get out of bed in the morning it
might be that bad this is not something
to ignore if you have depression if you
have anxiety if you have post-traumatic
stress disorder if you have any kind of
mental health condition it’s nothing to
be ashamed of and it’s nothing to hide
and it’s something to hit head-on with
there’s one thing one thing that if you
did every single day no joke it would
make an extraordinary difference in
whatever mental health issue you’re
struggling with and that is exercise
journaling where you process through
your pain I mean the worst thing you can
do is what society suggests that you do
escape get busy forget about it lose
yourself and work if you have to work of
course you have to show up your team
needs you life needs you your family
needs you life is for the living I got
it
I don’t believe that the answer to get
through your pain is to escape in your
pain you can’t motivate yourself out of
heartbreak you’ve got to feel yourself
through the heartbreak the quickest way
out is in
for anybody with depression or anxiety
or any mental illness frankly is you
gotta exercise every day and the reason
you’ve gotta exercise every day is
because what we know about human beings
is that when you physically move your
physiology changes and that changes your
brain getting your heart rate up getting
outside breathing feeling connected
getting out of your house which may make
you feel depressed and trapped doing
that every day that physical push you
don’t have to run you don’t have to go
to aerobics class class get outside with
your dog in the woods walk with a good
friend for two or three miles doing that
every single day not only moves your
body which changes your mind it gets you
out of your physical environment which
is one of the things that people with
depression tend to have a hard time
doing and it also creates a bit of
momentum and a bit of a routine in your
life you take on just that single thing
get outside and exercise every single
day as if your life depends upon it
because you know what it does your brain
needs it your body needs it your mental
health needs it this is not the end of
your story
I know it may be hard right now the
world right now is in the middle of a
mental health crisis believe it or not
we create our own negative feelings but
you know what there are seasons to life
are there not there are times to plant
and there are times to let the fields of
your farm lay fallow
and what if your time in the darkness of
your wilderness away from the world was
the season of your greatest growth and
what if there are seasons that are meant
for you to rest and to read the great
books and to write in the journal and to
take those long walks and to rethink
your thinking and rewire your life and
what if those times where you think I am
wasting time and your emotional universe
fills with guilt because you’re not
doing and your schedule is not full and
you actually feel like you’re wasting
your life
[Music]
what if those times were actually a
different form of productivity what if
those times were actually being
productive in a different way make the
time to rest because just what if that
resting is the key to world-class
producing when you get out of a system
that you’re now in and you get back into
your next season of world class that you
are built to shine great things are
coming your way you are not average the
darkness will pass world class is coming
and you are meant to fly
[Music]
