In the last episode, I spoke about the first two steps for living a healthier life:

Step 1

Love all of who you are.

Step 2

Have a growth mindset and start asking yourself as you go about your day: Is this healthy for me? Is it true?

This week I review the next two steps:

Step 3

Ground yourself. Build small habits into your daily routine that act as the checks and balances to help you grow.

• Examples: Daily affirmations, prayer, 12 steps, and journal writing. Or talk with someone: A therapist or a trusted friend, go to an ACOA or Al-Anon meeting.

Step 4

Get out of your own head. Go out and help others. Volunteer and interact with others. By giving of your time, it helps you see the world as a larger place and how we're all connected.

• De-demphasize the importance of material possessions.
• Distance yourself from social media and the trap of Dopamine (when you post something on social media, it makes you "feel good" when you get likes.)
