Building Your Own Scale, Chasing Your Own Path
We are all unique and have our own paths, and yet have you found yourself comparing your success and failure to others around you? Being able to truly live our lives requires self-compassion, mindfulness, and the ability to put our oxygen masks first when a crisis strikes.
Focusing on my mental health and self-care did not come easily to me. Prioritizing self-care needed constant effort and a “personal development plan.” This helped me build enough courage to challenge status quos, build my own success criteria and pivot when I needed to. Join Aprajita as she shares her mental health journey and the techniques that helped her stay the course. We will spend time during this session exploring “your own scale,” so you chase your own path.
