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:\n\n1.Get in tune with your feelings \u2013 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.\n\n2.Find someone to talk to \u2013 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.\n\n3.Practice mindfulness \u2013 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.\n\n4.Allow yourself the opportunity to grow \u2013 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.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022Coronavirus\n\u2022Mental Health\n\u2022High achievers\n\u2022Mental health matters\n\nResources:\nhttps://mhanational.org/\n\nConnect with Kimi:\nhttp://www.kimiwalker.com/","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/977ca788-f792-429c-ad3f-c5a14952f9b0/2ea155027cf304e02bd88df0e9705d45.jpg"}
