In a world that increasingly reveres busyness and status, choosing to slow down can feel difficult. It is not easy to go against the grain and do less. But when you truly think about it, what do titles or positions in society mean if we are unwell, unhappy, and unsatisfied? In today’s episode, Dr. Malhotra talks about mental health and wellbeing. Wellbeing encompasses many aspects of your overall health, not just the mental and physical aspects. It is about a holistic understanding of the concept. We hear about the importance of defining success for yourself, the power of setting boundaries, and Dr. Malhotra also shares how she takes care of her wellbeing every day.
