Listen Later

There's an unspoken Achilles' heal in many peoples' mental health journeys. How do you stick to your plan, strategies, and healing in those times when you just don't care?


Periods of prolonged apathy create massive setbacks in your progress - you know this. There's no amount of willpower or positive thinking that can keep these at bay.


I used to think these "black hole" periods were unsolvable, and I just had to endure.


But in the last few years I've found 2 strategies to help me push through the periods of apathy, numbness, emptiness, and anhedonia and stay on track with my life.I'm sharing those with you now.
