EP 25 | Face Your Loneliness | Advice for Facing "Negative" Emotions

Hey guys, so in this episode I talk about how I've been feeling somewhat depressed and lonely.. Typically when I am feeling lonely, my immediate impulse is to watch some TV, cook up some great food or go see a movie which I personally think at times can be very healthy and enjoyable for me. However, I have a tendency to isolate and find a little too much comfort in solitude. 

So over these past few weeks I found a strategy that seems to work for me.. I've been going to Zilker Park recently here in ATX with my dog, Max. One of the first times I made the decision to do this, there was actually a lot of resistance. Seclusion felt right and I kind of craved it, but I knew intuitively I needed some spontaneous interaction. Unplanned, genuine and very relaxed. So I went to Zilker. I made a friend, watched my dog play and honestly felt refreshed and my mindset had been completely shifted.

This episode is just a bit of motivation and is proof that a little human interaction, fresh air, and spontaneity can shift your mindset for the better.
