In 2004, Dan had a panic attack while reading the news live on the air. He felt like he couldn’t breathe. And as a result, he wasn’t able to finish the segment. Fortunately, the panic attack was a wake-up call that inspired him to get professional help for hisanxietyanddepression. One of the many things that improved his mental health wasmeditation.
Dan now uses his platform to teach others what he has learned about mental health and meditation. He wrote “10% Happier,” a #1 New York Times bestseller, then launched the Ten Percent Happier podcast. He even created an app called “Ten Percent Happier” to encourage others to take care of their mental health.
What You’ll Learn About Happiness and Mental Strength
Talk to a mental health professional who can help you break the unhealthy cycle. A doctor or mental health professional may recommendtherapy,medication, or a combination of both. But the sooner you seek the help the sooner you can start getting your life back on track so you can feel better.
You also might find it helps to share your mental health experiences with others. You might feel empowered when your story inspires others to seek help or when it comforts them to learn that they aren’t alone in their struggles.
