Watch Peer Specialist, Gneshe Bron, discuss how something as mundane as the act of exercising every day can be part of a larger framework of someone’s overall mental health, outlook, and way of living.

She shares that following the same daily routine is a very big part of a person’s mental stability and focus. For Gneshe, not working out even while on vacation, can bring on guilt, or a feeling of lack of worthiness. Gneshe suggests that sometimes breaking through the rigidity of routine, even at the risk of initially feeling unsafe or anxious, and learning to be okay with uncomfortable feelings, can be immensely positive for long-term personal growth.

Enjoy!
