Do it for yourself, no one else.
What we’re talking about
The Importance Of Living Your Life For Yourself
If you live your life for other people, then you have less of a reason to do more. Once you find your passion in life and understand that your “why” is specifically for you, then you will find you have more reason to jump out of bed and get to work. Focusing less on the opinions of others and more on what means something to you, then Jessi says you’ll feel more motivated every day, even when things are rough.
How To Heal: A Practical Guide to 9 Natural Therapies You Can Use to Release Your Trauma
Talk therapy is one of the most recognized forms of therapy around when it comes to mental health. Jessi’s first experience with talk therapy had her running out of the building and never looking back. She says she regrets never going back but has since found other natural therapies that release trauma, including connecting with nature. Jessi’s book details 9 ways to release your trauma using research-backed experience.
How Jessi Found Her Confidence To Try New Things
Jessi became sick and tired of being sick and tired and decided it was time to try new things. She didn’t like the way she was feeling and THAT empowered her to step out of her comfort zone and have the confidence to look at new ways to heal and move forward. Often times the only way to grow is to do things differently and try something new.
Don’t let anyone tell you when you’re ready.

TIMESTAMPS
12:46 (26 sec JB) – It ties right into with your why as well. If it’s something that you’re doing for the money or doing for the prestige, you’re doing for the opinions of others. It’s going to be really hard to get yourself out of bed on the those bad days. When you’re working for something you’re passionate about, you have this strong emotional why connected to it. It’s easier to say ok just send one email. Just get 1 thing done today and you can go eat some chocolate and then it’s ok. You have that motivation to pull on when things are really rough because you have that passion and that why.
17:30 (29 sec JB) – When I was struggling with my mental health I went to one day of talk therapy and literally I kid you not, ran out of the building because I was so uncomfortable and I never went back. That’s probably my biggest regret in my healing journey was that I didn’t have the support of a professional because I was so uncomfortable with talk therapy. No talk therapy is great. It’s back by so much research and anecdotal experience and things like that. It’s so so good, but if people are too uncomfortable to even go in the first place, then it’s completely useless.
