Welcome back to Real Talk - Mental Fitness, the podcast where we delve deep into the realm of personal growth, self-reflection, and finding joy in life.
This is the final episode from my rivetting conversation with my two amazing guests, Muyiwa Adebiyi (Host of "Day In Day Out" podcast) and Felicia Alston (Media Executive). In this final episode the focus was on making time for the things that bring us joy. For Felicia this is her advocacy work and working as a Dula and for Muyiwa its podcasting and uncovering the personal journeys of his guest. One message rang true for both, you have to carve out time for the things that bring you joy. Being both intentional and proactive in seeking them out. And we finish off with our signature one thing our guest want to share with the world to improve their mental fitness.
Here are 3 key takeaways from the conversation with Muyiwa and Felicia
1️⃣ Seek Support from the Right Sources: While friends can be an incredible source of support, it's important to recognize that they may not always be equipped to provide the specific type of help you need. Consider reaching out to professionals like coaches or therapists who can offer the guidance and expertise necessary for your personal journey.
2️⃣ Embrace Self-Reflection and Change: Taking stock of your life and goals is crucial for personal growth. Many people avoid self-reflection due to fear or distraction, but it is only by identifying what is not working and trying something different that you can create positive change. Embrace self-awareness, be open to new possibilities, and give yourself grace in the process.
3️⃣ Prioritize Mental Fitness: Our mental well-being deserves just as much attention and care as our physical health. Building resilience, navigating challenging toxic environments, and seeking joy and fulfillment are essential components. Engage in activities that uplift you, surround yourself with diverse perspectives, and never underestimate the power of meaningful connections to improve your mental fitness.
Two very important questions came to mind that i would like to here responses from people?
1. Both guests emphasized the importance of self-reflection, taking stock of one's life, and adjusting goals. How often do you engage in self-reflection? What strategies do you use to assess and align your goals with your personal growth?
2. Both guests believe that those who avoid self-reflection are likely to remain stagnant in life. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why?
