What's the last thing you did for YOU, and nobody else? If your response to that question is filled with crickets, then this week's episode of The Millennial Reset is meant for you. I'm sharing my three big (and simple) tips for how to start taking better care of yourself, even when your mind talks you out of it.

The 3 tips for putting yourself first:

1. Understand the concept of source vs. resource. In other words, becoming fully aware of the age-old adage of "put your mask on first before assisting others".
2. Shift the internal narratives around "rest". Most of us were told growing up that "rest is lazy", which created the conditioning that keeps us all addicted to stress. So, we talk about how to shift the narrative from "rest is lazy" to "rest is productive" and giving yourself opportunities to prove that this is true to your brain that is always trying to seek out evidence of what you tell it.
3. Talk to yourself like you'd talk to your best friend. The way that we speak to ourselves (whether out loud or in our own head) has a drastic impact on how our brain becomes wired over time. When you start speaking to yourself with more compassion and grace, you begin creating a sense of safety for your nervous system from the inside out!

In this week's episode of The Millennial Reset, we're joined by licensed clinical psychologist, and mental health contributor to Good Morning America, Dr. Abena Berry, to learn what the heck it even really means to "find yourself" after decades of conditioning and "masking up" to fit with societal expectations.

Millennials have always dreamed of a life with more purpose and creativity, but that's a real challenge when we've spent so many years of our adult lives walking around pretending to be an imposter of what we were taught about success and happiness.

Dr. Berry provides us with a few valuable tips to guide us millennials through this healing journey of getting back to your authentic self:

1. Learning never stops. Learning about yourself is an ongoing journey. We struggle, we grow, we learn, and we CHANGE. New learning and insights come with embracing the learning in times of change.
2. You are not your conditioning. Psychology has already shown us that we are NOT born as blank slates, but that is how we are raised by default. Our parents and society "program" us based on what they think will help us, but in reality, it keeps us living in a confined box, rather than living our lives true to US.
3. YOU are the new parent. We can live our lives waiting on someone else, such as our parents, to change, or we can assume the responsibility of becoming the new parent to your brain that you always needed. Do a values inventory, check-in with your beliefs, and start being kinder to yourself! Reparent yourself for the way you want your brain to be wired, instead of the way it got wired by others.

Bottom line, there's nothing to "find" when it comes to your authentic self. It's in you and always been in you, but you just have to uncover it first. That's where the true inner work happens!

What do you miss most about the 90's? Is it the Saturday morning cartoons? Is it the throwback songs/movies/TV shows? Or maybe is it something deeper than that, like the feeling of when things were simpler? We might not be able to transport ourselves back to 1998, but I do think there's things we can be doing to foster the desired EMOTIONS that we feel like we've lost over the years of one unprecedented historical event after another!

That's what we're talking about this week on The Millennial Reset...how can we get back some semblance of the normalcy that we all seem to associate to the 90s/2000s.

Join me as we take a trip down nostalgia lane, and I share my three mindset-based tips for how we can begin to create more simplicity, calm, and connection in our modern-day crazy lives:

1. Creating opportunities to move out of self-isolation and fostering more authentic connections.
2. Purposefully building in a digital detox to foster good dopamine.
3. Leveraging your positive memories to foster a desired inner state of more peace, calm, and slower living.
