I am no longer a person who is defined by anxiety and depression. I owe this to my ability to seek out challenges and be highly resilient to whatever life throws at me. It’s easy to prioritize comfort and the familiar, but avoiding challenges will rob you of the joy and fulfillment you deserve. Scientific findings show that conquering challenges releases dopamine, and this rush of dopamine can be a powerful source of confidence and personal growth. Today, I encourage you to seek out new challenges, leave your monotonous routine, and foster an environment of resilience.
