EAP 121: High Achievers, Leaders, and Caretakers - Your Mental Health Matters, Too!
This episode of the Early Accountability Podcast is geared towards high-achievers, leaders, and caretakers in the audience who tend to let their mental health needs go unnoticed. By nature, these people put the needs of others above their own and can often feel that their mental health does not matter. Quite the opposite is true, in fact, and it is important for high-achievers, leaders, and caretakers to recognize their signs or triggers of mental health issues and get the help they need. If you or someone you know falls into this category, here are some helpful steps to take:
1.Get in tune with your feelings – Give yourself the time and space to feel emotions. Once you have done this, you will have the clarity and ability to navigate next steps.
2.Find someone to talk to – This could be an individual therapist, a support group, a mastermind group, or just a friend or group of friends who are in similar life circumstances.
3.Practice mindfulness – Find an activity that helps you get grounded. Examples are: journaling, meditating, exercising, gardening, or anything that will allow you to get in touch with yourself and your higher power.
4.Allow yourself the opportunity to grow – Recognize that you are not where you want to be but accept that you are enough just as you are. Prioritize your mental health and you will open the door for continued growth.
