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.

Why is change so uncomfortable

Today I talk about why change is so uncomfortable and scary sometimes. There are different stages we go through when we are scared of change and I explain why we feel these ways. We all have different reasons for fearing change and understanding them is how we can begin to overcome those fears instead of falling into them. We resent changing because our bodies like comfort and stepping into something new is out of our comfort. But imagine if nature didn’t change. If the leaves didn’t change in different seasons, if the tide didn’t change with the moon, or if caterpillars didn’t change into butterflies. Nothing would be where it is today! It's important to see change as something beautiful, especially in our own lives. Not saying you have to change everything in your life because stability is important too. However, when you desire a change in your life I hope you can now begging to trust yourself and take the leap of faith knowing you deserve the change you want.
