Niko Moon is a country pop singer known for upbeat and positive songs like "Good Time" and "Better Days." Behind those feel-good songs, though, are some tough times. He's struggled with anxiety and panic attacks, and he almost quit music when he couldn't break into the industry.
But he found help with therapy, and now he establishes simple daily routines that help him build mental strength. Some of the things he talks about today are:
How he figured out he needed professional helpThe difficulties he endured that caused heartbreakHow he overcame the stigma associated with therapyWhy it may take four different therapists before you find one who is a good match for youThe most important lessons he learned in therapy (and the one thing he overlooked but he says is probably obvious to everyone else)The importance of having a structured daily routineThe simple morning and bedtime routines that were game-changers for himWhy he keeps his music so positive
