Tips for Prioritizing Mental Health During the COVID Crisis

It’s time to get proactive so that we can navigate these unprecedented times without drowning in fear, uncertainty, and negativity. After all, if we don’t prioritize mental health, we will struggle to lead and serve others effectively in every area of our lives. In this episode, Emily Elrod and Brandon Laws offer their go-to tips and techniques for self-care during the current health crisis. By prioritizing their own emotional health, listeners can find clarity and peace in their personal lives and better productivity in the workplace. 

Takeaways:

• If we don’t get proactive, our negative thoughts will control our emotions and, ultimately, our behaviors.
• Prioritizing self-care is critical to our success and happiness not only in the workplace but in our personal lives as well.
• We can care for ourselves by reading, meditating, and finding what “fills up our cup.”
• Showing gratitude encourages others while also fulfilling the one who gives it away.
