Engage, Connect, Grow

In this episode, you will reflect on all the lesson you have learned about in the Grow section of the book, "Engage, Connect, Grow".

In this episode, you will review simple ways you can start taking action in your life. 

On reading these journal entries in this lesson, I find them amazing. I can now see how I was taking steps to make my passion a reality.  I started with writing it out and then creating a plan to make it all come together.

In this episode, you will get a chance to review your current support network and any new people you would like to add to it. 

At times it may not feel like this; however, support is all around you. I know when I was experiencing depression, I had challenges finding it. Support can be a book, a video, a friend, a loved one, a doctor, a teacher, a therapist, a coach, a support group, and more.

There are resources in your own community to help you with whatever struggle you are facing, no matter how scary it is. If that resource isn’t in your community, there are people who can help you find the help you need. Be open to support when you are struggling. Be open to support when you are feeling amazing. Support is all about staying connected to another person. Connection with ourselves is foundational; connection with others takes us to new heights and allows us to grow.

In this episode, you will be given the opportunity to focus on who you truly are. 

I always thought the goal was to be constantly happy. Here is a journal entry of mine about this when I was still in school. I was struggling with focusing on being happy when at the time I really wasn’t. This was at a time when I was questioning a lot about myself and my future.

In this episode, you will have an opportunity to start to review the types of foods your are currently consuming and any changes you can make. 

I am no expert at this. I am not going to tell you that I am eating only organic foods. What I have done is started to gradually make smarter food choices.  For me, I used to eat a lot of pasta and carbs. It was my go-to meal choice. I found myself always tired with no energy to do very much. I made a choice to increase my water consumption every day.

I have stomach issues with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and a potential gluten issue, so I reduced the amount of milk and gluten I consume. The one thing I have noticed is my mind is a lot clearer and if I have a low period, it doesn’t last as long. I am able to come out of it faster.

In this episode, you will review the benefits of spending time in nature to positive impact your mental health. 

I have found some great benefits of getting out in nature. I am a morning person and I really enjoy a walk, a run, or a bike ride through a park or along a beach. This is another great way to clear your mind and ground yourself in the power within you.

In this episode, you will be given the opportunity to reflect on how music impacts how you think and feel.  

Over the years, walking, running, biking, hiking, basketball, and volleyball have worked well for me.  When I was feeling really low, it would take all my energy to just go for a short walk. I would start small and work up from there. I seem to have gotten into the habit of tracking the times I exercise.

Today, there are some great app’s that can help with this versus the good old excel spreadsheet I used to use.  The key thing for me when it comes to exercising is it helps clear my head of all the negative self-talk. Also, I find I can end up receiving a variety of new creative ideas I had never thought of before.

A powerful way to become more engaged in your life and continue your growth is to help someone

in need. You can volunteer at a local charity, offer to buy a coffee for a homeless person, or give away

clothes or other belongings to a local organization.

In this episode, you will have the opportunity to find ways to give back to others. 

Reading books is something I have done since I was young. I have always enjoyed it. I read a lot of books by Stephen King throughout my high school years. Reading has helped me with creativity and visualization.

When I hit my late twenties and early thirties, I started to read more self-help books.

When I reflect back, it is quite amazing how certain books seemed to find me at specific times in my life.

In this episode, you will have an opportunity to reflect on the knowledge you have obtained in your life plus find new sources of knowledge to help you continue to grow. 

For many years, being aware of my feeling always “felt” challenging for me. I kept most of my feelings inside and locked away. If you can find ways to become more aware of your feelings, you can bring some great energy into your life. In this episode, we are going to explore the benefits of embracing your feelings.
