Is it realistic to have a growth mindset when so many things are going wrong? And how do we even acquire one anyway?

Do you have a mental-health workout plan? I have some teeny tiny “bar bell” exercise suggestions so you can see some improvement during this challenging time!

Do you have a day every year that you dread because something sad happened on that day in years past? Is there a way to find joy on those days instead being haunted by painful memories?

Do you spend hours in your head composing air-tight excuses to get out of doing things you don’t want to do? (Is that just me?) Have you ever used your mental illness as an excuse to be un-Christlike? Lynn G. Robbins teaches us how to take back our power and become 100% responsible.
