The tools that are discussed include how meditation has been a transformative practice for many people, alongside other valuable “arrows in our quiver” like writing / prayer, physical exercise, nourishing the mind with great literature (fiction and non-fiction), fostering human connections, getting a healthy amount of rest and establishing helpful boundaries and rules of engagement. 00:36 Personal Journey and Struggles 03:06 Meditation: A Life-Changing Practice 10:56 The Power of Writing and Prayer 15:52 Exercise: Moving for Mental Health 18:16 Feeding Your Mind with Good Literature 21:43 The Importance of Fellowship 25:15 The Necessity of Rest 29:07 Setting Boundaries and Rules of Engagement 34:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts TP&R is on Patreon!
