Become an Overcomer: How to Let Go of Negative Self Talk and Live Intentionally!
Brittany Richmond, Anxiety Expert & Student Influencer
Mental health, much like physical health, is a muscle that needs to be nurtured to get stronger, especially as an emerging leader. With that, comes many challenges. One that dominates is negative self-talk. Becoming an overcomer means being proactive in our efforts to maintain good mental health, especially in our mindset and how we see our value.
In this presentation, Brittany speaks to students about her personal struggles with mental health and negative self-talk and the steps to overcome them. Brittany believes in R&R for our mindset: Removing and Replacing. Through multiple interactive activities, she will take students on a journey of “unpacking their book bags” with what is weighing them down. Removing fears, worries, comparisons, limitations, and expectations that can be detrimental to our well-being. Students will then start to replace these items with positive habits and behaviors important to them. Relatable insights include creating a safe space for difficult conversations, showing students that they are not alone in their struggles and how to take action starting today for good mental health that will serve them in their personal and professional lives.
Learning objectives:
- A sense of belonging and empowerment around the realization that they are not alone in their struggles.
- Learn that becoming an overcomer is a TEAM effort and that we cannot go about this journey alone.
- Learn actionable items that they can implement right away to start the process of strengthening their mindset as emerging leaders.
