RT 22 | Preparing for the New Year
Today’s episode is a mental health resource, brought to you by Alterna Savings. It has been 9 months since the pandemic has started. At #REALTALK, we are grateful to be connecting with you through the podcast at this time. As we end 2020, it has been an emotional rollercoaster for many of us.
The holidays are approaching, but it can still trigger different emotions. It can also serve as a reminder for us of our lost loved ones. It can trigger different emotions such as joy to grief, happiness to disappointment, and more. There are also people in this world that are struggling in different aspects of their lives, such as finances, relationships, and more.
As a mental health expert, our host Cherry Rose shares with you the processes that will help you get through this year. Three areas that we cover are: reflecting on your year, adjusting your living environment, and boosting your self-care rituals. As we continue work-from-home, it is important to separate your work and personal spaces and to give yourself the nourishment that you need and deserve.
Do not miss this opportunity of having an improved and powerful 2021. Let’s start!

QUOTES
“The reality is, as entrepreneurs and business owners, we can be like ‘go go go’ much of the time and be able to have enough gas in the tank.”
“We need enough energy to run that marathon and get to the finish line. It means that we need to take time to pause and to reflect, so that you can regroup.”
“Mistakes are a learning experience and an invitation to improve ourselves.”
“I want you to think about self-care as being a gift to ourselves, and not just like another thing to fail at, or not like another thing that you're adding to your to-do list.”
“Self-care is a ritual, a gift to yourself, a special process, something that you're giving to yourself because you deserve it.”
