It doesn’t matter if you know you need to go to support groups. You've benefited from support groups, but you're not going. Knowing versus doing. What area or areas in your life could you do better at doing? I love you.
Ever felt like you know what you should be doing, but just can't seem to get started? You're not alone. In this episode, Preston Moore dives into the gap between knowing and doing. He shares personal struggles, like wanting to eat better but feeling like something is being taken away when he tries. It's a relatable dilemma many of us face. But knowing isn't enough; it's the action that counts. Preston also explores the immense value of support groups.
Unlike one-on-one counseling, support groups allow for deeper connections and faster breakthroughs. When others share their stories, it feels like you're sharing too, and suddenly, you're not so alone. If you've ever thought about joining a support group but hesitated, this episode might be the nudge you need. Preston believes that support groups are an underutilized resource that can help you go deeper, build community, and even offer you the chance to help others.
Tune in to discover how bridging the gap between knowledge and action can transform your life and why seeking support is crucial for mental well-being.
