#94 Self-Care & Healthy Routines: Crafting a Balanced Lifestyle For Mental Wellbeing | Louis Watkins


Listen Later

Today, I’m joined by Louis, the founder of Clear For Men - a skincare brand dedicated to raising awareness about mental health.

Louis’s journey to creating Clear For Men began during the lockdown when he found himself grappling with burnout, feeling lost, and lacking direction. His skincare routine became a crucial way to switch off and be present, which ultimately inspired him to create Clear For Men - to encourage men to “Take Five” and prioritise their mental well-being.

In today’s conversation, we discuss the value in normalising conversations circulating mental health and the importance of speaking up in times of distress. Rather than suppressing emotions, hiding away, or isolating ourselves, there’s is immense power in embracing vulnerability, seeking support and being proactive in managing mental health.

We also touch on the human tendency to focus on what we haven’t accomplished, often engaging in negative self-talk and comparing ourselves to others. It’s easy to get stuck in that rut, but in these moments, it’s essential to revisit our values, ensure we’re aligned with what nourishes us rather than what depletes us, and give ourselves credit for our achievements and the obstacles we’ve overcome.

Moreover, we discuss the significance of incorporating regular self-care practices and non-productivity-oriented mindful moments. These habits are vital for maintaining a balanced, flourishing life, and should be embedded and sprinkled into our daily routines to prevent overwhelm and burnout.
