Good mental health is foundational to how we move forward - or don’t move forward - in every other area of our lives. In this first episode of a two-part mini-series, Maria Winters gives us 5 “value bombs” that can help ensure we exercise real self-care and enhance our emotional well-being. The bullet points themselves are important because they are practical concepts and tips. However, even more importantly, during the discussion, Maria gives examples and explains why they are so important to us all, and how some of them have gotten misunderstood or even warped in our minds over time.

(If you have children - or know someone who does - forward this episode to them! You and the will discover some important tips for helping children grow in their future mental health, too.)

And come back again next week as the healing trio wraps up this important discussion.

Embrace these five important points for optimum mental health:

1. Carefully choose what arguments are worth your energy.
2. Other people’s needs are important - but so are yours!
3. Once you’ve moved forward from a negative situation or mindset - leave it in the past.
4. Put boundaries in place: you are not obligated to have a relationship with toxic family members.
5. You were born worthy.

(Whether it’s family, friends, or your job…) those who most disrespect your boundaries 

are the ones who benefit the most from you not having any!
