Elizabeth shares how easy it is to become complacent once we start feeling better. She says, 'We just like rest on our laurels, or we just, you know, get relief and we just go on about our day'. M.G. chimes in with her top-line behaviors, like ensuring she gets enough sleep and finding meetings that resonate with her, even if they aren’t perfect.
