Best of Ready.Aim.Empire: The Quarantine State of Mind

When I look at the world around me,  I see that we’re gradually moving into a realm of normalcy, especially with the steady roll out of vaccinations and the new mask laws. 

So, I wanted to bring back this episode where I share my thoughts (and advice from mental health professionals) to make sure we’re getting to the other side with the right mindset! 

In today’s throwback episode, join me as I talk about why quarantine anxiety is normal, your duty towards your body, the benefits of immersion therapy, how to take care of yourself and much more.

Let’s step into a healthier state of mind together!

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • That anxiety is normal 
  • What healthy anxiety for studio owners looks like
  • How people will walk back through your doors again
  • What we can do to manage our response to uncertainty {while taking care of ourselves and supporting each other}

With grit and gratitude,

Lisé
