00:01A couple of years ago I was under so much stress that both my physical and

00:07mental health were at risk. So I had to rethink how I managed my life and work.

00:12I had to be deliberate about caring for my mind and became more conscious of all

00:18the things that affect my body. Since our culture asks a lot of us constantly

00:22saying go go hustle hustle I used to feel guilty about taking a vacation or

00:28relaxing. I felt like I needed to use every bit of my time but I realized that

00:34I was living my life around other people's expectations of me instead of

00:37what was best for me. When my thinking is off track I get insecure I start shaming

00:44myself everything slows down and I feel like I'm trying to think through

00:48quicksand. I realized that the way I care for my body greatly affects my mind

00:53because it's one big connected system. Problems with my gut can trigger a

00:58emotional shifts and mood swings so I take Garden of Life probiotics to keep

01:02my gut healthy. The belly is like a second brain so it's important that my

01:06digestive system remains strong. Maybe gut feelings aren't just a metaphor. To keep

01:12both my mind and body in balance I work really hard to prioritize movement, cooking

01:17healthy meals, and sleeping eight hours a night. I also keep my electronics use

01:22between specific hours so I don't slip into continuous text checking the news and

01:27tons of social media scrolling. Now I have some non-negotiables. I don't sacrifice on

01:34sleep or exercise. I work on saying no a lot because I know my limitations are there

01:42to help me feel my best. It's not about achieving perfection but doing the small and

01:48consistent things that focus on my emotional well-being. Because the more I

01:52nourish my mental health the more I can succeed.
