Building Resilience: Jason Jolliffe on Mindfulness and Mental Health

If I don't think about something, I can avoid dealing with it. Distraction doesn't solve any long term problems by avoiding something.
Ever feel like life's challenges are just too much to handle? In this episode of the OutstandingLife podcast, Jason Jolliffe dives into the nitty-gritty of mental health during tough times. He kicks things off by catching us up on what's been happening since the last update, showing how even brief messages can make a big impact when sent to the right person.
Jason also shares some fresh ideas on how to bring the podcast to the forefront, making it a central piece of support for listeners. One standout takeaway from this episode is the acronym HALT – Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. Jason explains how being aware of these feelings can help you build resilience and stay grounded when things get rough. He also emphasizes the importance of staying connected with friends and family through simple gestures like thermostat checks and short messages.
Creating safe spaces for open conversations about addiction and mental health is another key point Jason touches on. He talks about the necessity of facing difficult issues head-on rather than avoiding them, as distraction doesn't solve long-term problems. The episode wraps up with Jason encouraging listeners to engage in these important discussions and take steps towards better mental health and addiction recovery.
