Berge’s Better Tomorrow
Let's talk about life. Your life, my life, everyone's lives, and how we can learn from each other to benefit our own mental and behavioral health. Mental health is just as important as our physical health, yet it is not treated as so. This podcast is hopeful in breaking the stigma around mental health. Not every episode is heavy-hearted (suicide awareness, various mental illnesses, etc.), nor is every episode light-hearted (advice, funny late-night thoughts, etc.), but in every episode, there is something to learn. The content comes from a variety of sources whether clinical research or someone’s very own personal experience. We all go through hard times throughout life, so I want to teach you some ways to make those times a little less hard. Every week there will be a new activity for you to try that could be useful or enjoyable to better your mental health. It can be easy to fall back into the same, destructive pattern but I encourage you to recognize you are not stuck in that way of thinking. Each day you have the opportunity to adjust your way of thinking and what may be helping you could help someone else, so it is important to speak about it. This podcast is set to challenge and expand our way of thinking by allowing us to become more self-aware of ourselves and those around us: you can’t change what you don’t acknowledge, but you can’t acknowledge what you don’t know.

Decluttering

This episode we learn different ways to declutter your life physically and how that affects you mentally. I talk with my first guest and good friend, Hope Stansell, about how to make cleaning your room a game, ways to slowly go through apps on your phone and how to decide which people you can declutter from your life. It’s hard to realize how much clutter is in your life when you’re comfortable in it. Once you start to clean it up, your priorities can become more clear and daily life can be less stressful. Remember the environment is an influence and if you want to change your outcomes you need to change your environment. Anytime you feel stuck and overwhelmed, know that you can hit reset with some decluttering strategies. This week’s activity is to declutter one area in your life. It could be as little as a drawer of your desk, an app on your phone or the backseat of your car.
