Depression is a common and often debilitating mental health condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It can cause a range of symptoms, including persistent sadness, low energy, difficulty concentrating, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, and a loss of interest in once enjoyable activities. Sound familiar? In today's episode, we'll talk with Dannie De Novo. She is a mental health advocate and survivor of depression, and she will share their journey of overcoming depression and the tools and strategies she uses to find happiness and build a fulfilling life…so you can do the same In this episode, we discuss: Seeking help and support is crucial for managing depression and finding happiness. This could mean talking to a trusted friend or family member, seeking support from a mental health professional, or joining a support group. Practicing self-care is essential for managing depression. This includes getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and finding ways to relax and de-stress. Focusing on small, positive things can bring joy and happiness into your life, even when you're feeling down. Setting goals and working towards them can give you a sense of purpose and meaning, which can help boost your mood. If your depression is severe or persistent, it may be necessary to seek professional treatment. This could include therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Remember, overcoming depression is not easy, and it may take time and effort. But with the right support and strategies, it is possible to find happiness and build a fulfilling life. Don't be afraid to reach out for help – it's a sign of strength, not weakness.

Do you have goals you want to accomplish that you have been putting off? Sometimes, you need to just get started. How do you do that? Well, we decided to ask Just Get Started podcast host, Brian Ondrako. Today, we speak to Brian about how he helps inspire people on the cusp of getting started on their path toward happiness. According to Brian, happiness is the result of making consistent decisions that align with your vision for your life, not attaining any specific goal. Unless you have a clear idea of which way to go, seeking happiness is almost irrelevant, which is why Brian recommends finding your North Star and taking incremental steps toward it. He also highlights the value of welcoming discomfort, staying curious, and embracing vulnerability along the way, which you'll learn more about in this episode. Ultimately, it's not about reaching your North Star. It's about keeping the compass pointed in the right direction. If you want to find out how to stop wishing for change and start making it happen, tune in today! Topics discussed in this episode: We get vulnerable about where we are in our own journeys How Brian got started on his mission to help others Why you have to discover yourself to discover happiness The joy that can come from putting action in motion Why taking incremental steps toward your North Star is key Understanding the value of sharing your setbacks with others Overcoming fear and complacency with curiosity How you can benefit from embracing discomfort Advice for taking that first step by looking back at childhood How Brian encourages people to pursue their North Star A reminder that it's your choice to change your behavior Tips for finding the simplest path forward (Note: This episode was originally published October 24th, 2022) ---- GUEST WEBSITE: https://brianondrako.com/ ---- MORE FROM THE FIT MESS: 5 Things to Manage Your Mental Health - Our Newsletter!

Are you tired of setting goals and falling short? Do you find yourself constantly trying to make rapid transformations, only to fizzle out a few days later? You're not alone. In today's episode of The Fit Mess podcast, we discuss how focusing on rapid transformations instead of a slower evolution may be holding you back. Here are some of the main concepts covered in the episode: The importance of questioning what you believe and the stories you tell yourself A new perspective on the idea of taking small steps toward constant improvement The power of cumulative improvement and compounding returns We also talked about the importance of taking small steps toward constant improvement. As the quote from Ryan Holiday's book, "Discipline is Destiny" states, "if the first step is just showing up, committing to doing something each day then the next step is finding something to focus on, getting better at each." This is where cumulative improvement meets compounding returns, and it's where we can harness one of the most powerful forces on earth. By focusing on evolution instead of revolution, we can set ourselves up for success in the long term. It's important to remember that progress takes time and consistency, and that's what ultimately leads to success. So, next time you're setting a goal, remember to take it one step at a time and focus on the evolution, not the revolution.

Dr. Glenn Livingston is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm that has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food-obsessed individuals, Doctor Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. In this episode, Dr. Livingston teaches why Binge Eating and Overeating are such common problems, and how there are two factors that combine to form the perfect storm in our culture and have created a horrendously difficult mountain to climb for anyone who wants to stop overeating. (a) the food industry's billions and; (b) the addiction treatment industry's message of powerlessness. What We Discuss with Dr. Livingston: 00:00 Intro 06:13 Glenn's personal weight-loss struggle 10:36 The Food Industry's predatory tactics 15:58 Controlling our biological impulses 17:27 The creation of "the inner pig" 22:11 Self-love isn't enough 29:58 The feast and famine roller coaster 34:26 Using the present moment to eat healthily 36:43 Why your failures mean you'll have success Like this show?
