Dr. Joy Kong argues that avoiding hard questions about your mental health only makes problems worse. Like businesses use data to make decisions, you need to check in with yourself early rather than wait for a crisis.
It's uncomfortable to deal with it, right? But then we also know that at one point we're going to be forced to deal with it and it's going to be way more uncomfortable and probably a hell of a lot harder and so forth. And it's the same thing with health and business, like all that kind of stuff. So just give ourselves the opportunity to surface that on our own and then you don't have to tackle it all in one shot, but at least you have the data or the information. That's the parallel I always try to make on, on the business side. We would never run our businesses without information to then guide our decisions. But we, we do that when it comes to our minds. We just kind of wing it and see how it goes. Often that doesn't work out very well, or it makes it just a lot harder than it, than it needs to be.
