Managing Your Mental Health with Matt Davis

As mid-life and mid-career professionals, we have a lot on our plate both personally and professionally. How can we manage it all and still keep our head on straight?

I talk with Matt Davis about how he approaches life, stress, anxiety and more as he manages a genetic disposition to severe mental health challenges. As somebody who has lost a loved one to mental health, deals with it regularly himself, and is also a caretaker of somebody dealing with it, he shares his own experiences and many good ideas and suggestions on how others can work on it themselves.

Note: neither Matt or I are medical professionals. We both feel passionately about this topic and hope this can help support you through your mental health journey.

Top Quotes:

"Some people may question: Hey, do I really have anxiety or do I really have these things that we try to quantify? And my response would be, it doesn't matter. All of us have really negative feelings that we have to overcome each day. We're all doing our best and there are ways to overcome that."

"If you really examine any time that you're feeling an overwhelming amount of anxiety or stress, or even depression, there's typically some sort of expectation hanging out there. Scientists can call this inner locus of control where. We have the ability to choose our life, to choose the things we do."

"When I get into that anxious state, I really have to cut off the future for just a little bit. I call it the today is the greatest day I've ever known, where I have to really focus on the day that I'm in, the hour that I'm in."

5 areas of balance (SPARK): spiritual, physical, academic, relationships, character

"The biggest thing is if you're struggling out there in any way that. If you just keep giving the effort, I promise things will get better, like, just keep fighting for it. Keep searching for the help that you need and things do change."

"I'm not going to be limited by mental health, even though I have severe bouts with it, I'm going to go and live a life and go full steam ahead. And it may be painful sometimes, but it's something that we can all do. We all have that ability. "
